I have been enjoying reading the various 7 Link posts floating around the blogosphere. It's been a great way to discover, or be reminded of, earlier posts that deserve to be remembered.
When the lovely Anna at The Hospitality Guru tagged me last week (thank you!), I turned my mind to what my own 7 Links might be. It turned out to be surprisingly difficult to pick, but here are those I decided on.
I must confess that deeming a post 'most beautiful' makes me feel a little like I'm boasting. If I put that aside, I think I have to vote my recent Tasmanian Snapshots summary in at number one.
This has the added advantage of reminding me of beautiful memories, and of highlighting the beauty of Tasmania.
I'm choosing to interpret this as a nice confirmation of the 'don't judge a book by its cover' adage. These muffins may not win prizes for beauty, but they do taste impressive! And, of course, they have both fruit and vegetable in the ingredients list.
My most controversial post
I don't think I've provided a lot of controversy, but I think my thoughts on The China Study probably contrasted with those of some.
That was also a very wordy post, which I generally try to avoid, so it may be deemed controversial in content and in style!
My most helpful post
My post on Google wins this category. Google Docs, Picassa, Google Reader, and Google Translate all got a mention.
Comments also alerted me to the existence of Google Health and Google Analytics, which was helpful to me (although Google Health will, sadly, be discontinued next year).
I don't know if success is the right word, but I was surprised at the dialogue that came out of my Toe Injury post. I didn't know there were so many people whose feet were similarly injury prone!
In what might more accurately be called success, I've been amazed and thrilled at how receptive people have been to my Books page.
It's great to know there are other avid readers out there...and that my tendency to list everything isn't so weird that it puts people off!
I don't consider any posts to be neglected, and I'm always thrilled with any comments. I have noticed, though, that my Product Reviews aren't always highly utilised, despite them being fun to do and quite useful (to me) to have stored for reference.
The post I am most proud of
I really enjoyed writing my Pleasures without Guilt post, and reading the comments that came out of it.
After all...
I am rather pleased to have put that perspective out there.
Thank you again to Anna for tagging me, and to all those who have done this already for providing me with retrospective entertainment.
Because this has been going for a little while, I'm going to do a global tag: if you haven't done this and would like to, you're it :)

My most popular post
My About Me and Recipes pages have the most page views. However, if we focus on actual posts, my post about Mother's Day Apple and Zucchini Muffins is most popular.
