Top Ten! [Anniversary Week]

Thank you!

Thanks to your reading, your support, and your feedback, Making the Museum (the newsletter) just turned … [drum roll] … 1.

A year ago, the first email went out. Along the way, it even spawned a podcast. And over 220 one-minute reads have gone out into the world.

It wouldn’t be an anniversary if we didn’t do some Top Ten lists. So we’ll do three: an overall one, one about content, and one about tech.

First, the Overall Top Ten, as determined by web traffic at makingthemuseum.com, where every post gets collected.

(BTW, #1 was a total surprise.)
