I recently participated in Problogger’s Top 5 group writing project and my entry got the most comments I’ve ever got for one post on this blog. I think it was my five minutes of fame in the blogging world.
Just to keep it going that tad longer, here’s my top 5 of the top 5 list. There were 893 entries all up so I had to be very selective about what I even clicked on to read which is where the catchy headline comes into play that just about just about every blog advice column talks about.
1. Top 5 sins
This is actually about blogging sins but she’s incorporated 5 of the 7 of those other sins in her list. It’s quite amusing and for a beginning blogger who hasn’t learned lessons the hard way, it’s quite useful.
2. Five simple strategies for stress management
These are all common sense but when we’re stressed, they’re the first things we forget. I’m speaking for myself of course. I could work more on the self talk one.
3. Top 5 ways to make money in your underwear
I don’t have any intention of doing his no’s 5, 4 and 3, I do a bit of 2 and it would be nice to do no 1.
4. Top 5 doggie facial expressions
I like dogs so this was an easy inclusion.
5. My favorite standby knitting projects
It’s getting cooler here and I’ll start knitting again soon. I like small knitting projects these days but I don’t know that I’ll be knitting dishcloths.

Thanks for the mention Jen! Nice blog you have here…
I read your top 5 entry about addictions as well, and I have to say I’ve never heard of Quince before, I’m gonna have to try one 🙂

Jen,
Thanks for including my article in your Top 5. I have also had more traffic generated from this project than anything else I have done.
I like your blog and will be back to read more.
Robert

I happened to read the top 5 knits one, too! How weird.
Have you ever looked at knitty.com? They have some wonderful patterns there! Projects of all sizes. I’ve done full sweaters, baby sweaters (so fast!) and even slippers from there.
