It’s that time to draw a line under 2010 and announce my top posts for the past year (figures kindly crunched for me by WordPress).
Although Twitter set me off blogging, it’s search engines that have made the following posts my biggest hits in 2010…
Penguins...
1. English words from Celtic roots…
An interesting winner, this one – and it’s all because I used a picture of penguins. The word penguin comes from either the Welsh or Breton Pen-Gwyn (meaning “head-white”). Penguins seem to be very popular in Google searches – maybe I should do a post about them…
Meanwhile I posted several other items on the language:
Latin for today
English words from Scandinavian roots
English words from Indian roots
A hare from Masquerade by Kit Williams
2. From mad March hare to golden hare…
This one combines nature and a little bit of the story of Kit Williams’ famous treasure hunt book, Masquerade.
