Call it self-promotion but I want to know which one article are you most proud of? Sure, give us a link...

I'm going to have to think about this one a little...

Well, Smarty templates for beginners (http://www.morningcaffeine.com/2007/01/21/smarty-templates-for-beginners/) is my the most popular post, so I would say it's the best :)

Well I'd have to say my post on The Top 5 Ways to Become a Millionaire (http://genxfinance.com/2007/05/07/the-top-5-ways-to-become-a-millionaire/) is by far the most popular.

It was part of the ProBlogger group writing project and I never expected it to do so well. 107 comments/trackbacks, it made it on the front page of Digg, it was picked up by Hugh Hewitt (http://hughhewitt.townhall.com/) and Instapundit (http://instapundit.com/)as well.

For a about a week straight my traffic was great :D Now that the post is on the first page of results on google for the search of "how to become a millionaire" I've been seeing steady lingering traffic at over 3,000 hits a month for that post.

It might not be the best post as far as quality of writing, but the topic and the concept behind it made it a very successful post.

I've never written an article.

This is by far my most popular post though...

Oh thanks, now I find this. Could have used that a few months ago. Digg sucks when you aren't prepared :mad:

This is like asking a parent which child they love the most. :)

I like this one - I feel like I am making a point without ranting to much :)
