In the bottom left corner of our front page, we post links to the eight articles that are the most emailed using the “email to a friend” button that can be found on the blue tool bar at the bottom of each article.
But you might be wondering which articles on WPR are the most read period, regardless of whether they’re emailed or not. Well, we’ve got the answers.
Every Friday on the blog, we’ll be posting the top 10 most popular articles of the week, and of the previous 30 days. (Just one caveat: At the risk of seeming undemocratic, we would point out the obvious fact that, especially due to the vagaries of Internet linking, some very good articles won’t make the list. If one of your favorite articles gets shafted, send around that link and see if it can make next week’s list!)
