With 2015 behind us, I thought I’d look back and see which of my posts were most popular during the year. I rank these based on total page views, not unique visitors.

I have two lists here. First I list the 10 most popular posts of 2015, listing only posts first published during 2015. After that, I list the most popular posts of the year, without regard to the year the post was originally published. In both cases, the rankings are based only on 2015 traffic, not all-time traffic.
