happy anniversary, mayaland!
Today is mayaland’s one year anniversary! Woo hoo! I’m still here! One year ago I was getting a half dozen hits a day, and I knew all of those people (hi guys!). Now I’m getting over ten times that, still a tiny number in the blogging world, but still, wow! That’s so cool! It’s not like I’m marketing or anything, so I’m just as pleased as punch that y’all are here. Welcome!
So, in celebration of the year’s blogging, I thought I’d do a greatest hits post. These are some of the pages that seem to get the most page views, whether because they are in hitting some google sweet spot, or because people forward the link on to their friends. Either way, I’m thrilled to have folk interested in my little blog. Here are the top fifteen posts (in no particular order) of the year. Enjoy!
How to Recycle a Tiny House
In Which I Become a Redhead
Bikini Power vs. Ratty Sweater
Triple Chocolate Pudding Goop, or, this way lies madness
Easter Egg Chickens — I’m surprised at how many hits this little post gets.
How to Build a Yurt
Writing Without Pencil Sharpening
Incredible Hulk Invades the Yurt
Building the Tool Shed
Tux Paint, Kaleidoscopes, and Mazes, Oh My!
Screen Time for Fun and Profit
Late Night Gratitude and Some Pee
Solstice from inside a Sundial
The Emotional Insanity of Writing
A Superhero Origin Story, and some Hair
But what is the most popular, by hit count, page I’ve ever put up? How to Milk a Goat…. Surprised? I am.
And here is my favorite photo of the year… Flying Kids!
Thanks so much stopping by the anniversary party!

"Dusi's Wings" April, 2003. . . .
"One thing fantasy can do for us is to give shape to the mysterious in the world; another is to make emotional yearning concrete. The early sections of "Dusi's Wings" do just that...there was a strong grasping towards the spiritual in fantasy here that was very promising, and I look forward to reading more by Lassiter." --review, Tangent Online.twitterage

Happy anniversary, Maya. It’s a very nice place you have here.
Hey Maya – happy anniversary! I just discovered your wonderful little site last week when I was doing a search on ‘stone tool sheds’. I’ve not had time to completely explore the full year of postings … just hitting a few things randomly … but what fun!
I too live in a yurt – but I must admit that it’s not your conventional yurt … it’s a framed house on a concrete slab, shingled and metal roof, etc. My partner and I loved the concept, but wanted a structural house. I look forward to checking back in often to not only read your current posts, but also to explore the older ones as well. Have a great day! ~ marni
Thanks, Cathy! I’m glad you like it.
Hello Marni, delightful to meet you. That’s cool that you built a yurt/house! You have a lovely day, too.
Maya
Congratulations! It’s a helluva blog, I have to say: painted children, goats, tiny houses, magical chickens … are you sure this isn’t some kind of kick-ass new fantasy novel?
