It is that time of year, time to share the top 10 Blog posts of 2023. I am so thankful that my sister suggested that I start doing this last year. It is fun to look back and see what was popular among visitors in both new and old posts.

Overall the blog had another wonderful year, one that I again, could have never imagined. Last year I was blown away when the blog had over 14,000 new users. This year the blog reached over 45,000 new users and in total had over 90,000 visits. I am simply speechless looking at the numbers!

Those visitors were brought to the blog by posts about everything from murals, places, recipes, and everything else that makes up "Purple Iris Everywhere!"

I mean, wow! I am continually blown away by the stories you have shared with me and the connections made here. I look forward to everything that will be coming to the blog in 2024.

Now, for the list of the Top 10 Blog Posts on Purple Iris Everywhere! The page views of these blog posts range from over 10,000 to almost 3,000 individually. Seeing those numbers is a huge part of the reason that I started this. Many of the places on the blog are locally owned and operated, sharing about these amazing businesses has been my pleasure.
