My 7 Links

Back in July, Diana of Il Terrazzo Italiano nominated me to do the “7 Links” meme,  an initiative that was started by Katie over at TripBase

I was meaning to post my 7 links awhile ago but with moving apartments and the start of the new school year, it sort of got lost in the shuffle.

So, without further hesitation and delay, here are my 7 Links.

Most Beautiful Post:  Lost and Found was a very special post for me.  I was so blessed to take part in the reuniting of long lost relatives.  It was such a beautiful life experience that will stay with me forever.

Most Popular Post:  Even though My Top 5: Italian Male Singers was posted way back in January 2009, it continues to be the top post week after week.

Most Controversial Post:  Ironically, it would have to be My Top 5: Italian Male Singers.  I still get comments and emails about this particular post.  I don’t think people realize that it was my personal top 5 and wasn’t something that was meant to be set in stone for all to obey.  Music is subjective and I don’t expect everyone to agree with me.  I wrote the post a couple years ago. I will admit that some of the artists aren’t on My Top 5 anymore.  I’m thinking it might be time to do an updated post on this – which may or may not become the next most controversial post.

Most Helpful Post:  My posts don’t tend to be guides or advice on how to do things.  I just write about things that come to mind.  I guess my most helpful would probably be one of my Adventures of Learning a Language  posts.

A Post Whose Success Surprised Me:  My post about Rogliano.  I wrote about this neighbouring and slightly (well more than slightly) larger town near Carpanzano.  It amazes me how many comments I get from people with ancestry there.

A Post Which Didn’t Get Attention Deserved:  None, I’m just thankful that people take the time to read my blog. I don’t tend to write with the intention that it needs to have some measured amount of attention.

Post I’m Most Proud Of:  I’m most proud of Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.   I wrote this post during a crossroads in my life. I think it really helped me to stay focused on my goals and dreams.

Now would be the time when I would nominate some blogs to share their 7 Links however, this meme has been going around for a really long time and many blogs have already participated.  If you have a blog and you haven`t done the 7 Links blog yet, I nominate you! 🙂
