As we approach the middle of the year, I thought I’d use one of our blog posts to thank you for reading and sharing our blog. I’m always interested to see which posts interest you. Sometimes I guessed a post would be popular, sometimes they catch me by surprise.
These are the five posts that you and other subscribers read and shared the most this year and hit on the topics that are on your mind.
I want to thank you for taking the time to read our blog. We try really hard to always publish information that we think will be useful to you and it means a lot that you like it. If there’s a topic that you’d like us to write about you can send me an email, or leave a suggestion in the comments section.
And now, here are your favorite blog posts from the year so far:
