The HRC Web site, that's who!

And what a year it has been: 85 posts, nearly 8,400 visits to the HRC Web site, and just under 23,000 total HRC Web pages viewed.

210 people have signed up to receive the monthly HRC Spotlight e-newsletter, 136 people have become facebook fans of the CHC Heritage Resource Center, and 88 people receive weekly feedburner e-mail updates.

Here are just a few highlights:

• With 218 unique page views, David Rau's exploration of photography use in a Web 2.0 world, To Click or Not to Click: How do YOU Answer this Question, was the most viewed HRC post.  The #2 most viewed post was David's review of So Each May Learn: Integrating Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligences (176 views); #3 was the Connecticut Cultural Consumers Study (156 views).
• The most commented upon post, with 6 comments, was To Click or Not to Click.  In a three way tie for second, with 4 comments each: Briann Greenfield's post on deaccessioning, Nothing Ethical About It; Laurie Rayner's thoughts on John and Anita Durel's article A Golden Age for Historic Properties; and the Connecticut Cultural Consumers Study.
• The most requested book from the HRC Lending Library was David La Piana's The NonProfit Strategy Revlution (7), followed closely by Benchmarking for Nonprofits (6), and The Museum Forms Book (6).
• The CHC published reports and studies on CT Cultural Consumers, supporting secondary school student visits to history museums, and Philanthropic Funding Realities in the New Economy.

Thanks to all of the HRC's readers, guest posters, and advisers.  We couldn't have done it without you!
