So you’re on ScienceBlogs. What interests you, what are you looking for? As a regular blogger, I wanted to know.

One way to explore these questions is to take a random sampling of keywords that readers have used to search this site. I selected the past month and scanned the top 500 terms (out of a total of 292,566 – but who’s counting?)

During this past month, there were 3,860,385 visits at ScienceBlogs. I learned something interesting. Take a look at some of my favorites, listed below and ranked from high to low popularity: {I may need you to explain some of these to me! I do wonder about that reader whose “poop was green.”}

Which ones would you like to see as subjects for future posts?

ScienceBlogs readers seem to be a curious, eclectic group. No wonder I enjoy writing for you.
