Australian Fern, 2006.
Last week I learned about this motivational poster produced in 1939 by the Birtish Government! I thought I would share it with you guys. Doesn’t it just sum up beautifully the gentlemanship of the Englishman ?! It’s a brilliant poster with great design. It says so much, with so little. Apparently, it was intended to be used if the Nazis ever took control of the country during the war, but it was never displayed to the public (Read more about it here). Later found in 2000… it has now, obviously, been used in a ton of advertisements worldwide.
I just read the Top Viewed Posts of 2008 from blogto.com and thought it was fun to log that information so I can compare in the future. You may notice that my top 10 is slightly different as it refers to the “Viewed Posts in 2008
” not “of 2008
”. I say that because some of the most viewed posts in 2008 were actually posted in 2006, but anyways. Interestingly enough, one of the most viewed post here is a comment on an article that was also published on blogto.com regarding the big fire that happened on Queen Street not too far from our condo. I pretty much knew the result as I’ve been following the traffic of the site pretty closely, but some of the results actually did surprise me (I included the percentage of the pageviews for the whole year as well). I was actually surprise to see some of my more recent posts in the top 10.
