I'm honored that you would join in. I typically don't get involved in too many memes - only the ones that I think would provide value. In this case, I think it provides a double-shot of value:
1) Value to the blogger, who gets the opportunity to revisit old work and reassess or admire past work in the cold, bare light of the present;
2) Value to the readers, who get to connect with some great content that can further connect them with the author of that content.

Thanks for playing along (even if you did call me 'Scotty'). ;-)

It's quite subjective though, your best posts may not be the most popular, what if the best thing you ever wrote way way back at the beginning of your blogging career?

Or what if your popularity is not based on your posts but some other factor? Maybe you said something controvertial, stupid or wrong - to illicit a great number of responses.

Personally, my most popular post was a story about the possabilty of the TV show 'Futurama' going back into production. It got linked from a french animation site, 200 reads a day for two or three weeks.

Since my purpose is blogging is to create a dialogue with local media artists - didn't really matter so much.

I'm flattered (Scott should be too) that this meme was Brogan-worthy. I think our navel gazing can benefit our readers, if the posts we highlight our interesting enough. And like I wrote elsewhere, some posts deserve a second chance (though that's more of the "favorite posts" meme I tacked on to my own response.
