Long time readers of <em>IHEC Blog</em> have noticed a variety of changes here over the years. One noticable change has been in the way I post. Like many, my life is <em>crazy</em> busy. I have a <a href="http://ihec-djc.blogspot.com/2011/10/study-abroad-fund-for-my-children.html">family of three young children</a>, a <a href="http://programs.chicagobooth.edu/international/">full-time job</a>, trying to <a href="http://ihec-djc.blogspot.com/2010/06/searching-for-literature-and-documents.html">finish my dissertation</a>, on the editorial board of the <em><a href="http://www.sagepub.com/journalsProdDesc.nav?prodId=Journal201378#tabview=boards">Journal of Studies in International Education</a></em>, I edit and publish <em>IHEC Blog</em> as well as manage several <a href="http://davidcomp.wordpress.com/">related internet properties</a>, and occassionally I try to find some <a href="http://www.thedailyshow.com/">time to relax</a>. As a result, my blog posts have changed over the years and often times I only have enough time to embed a video that may be of interest to readers. I also have significantly decreased the number of times I post to <em>IHEC Blog</em> (from a high of 282 posts in 2009 to 61 posts in 2012). Despite all of this, <em>IHEC Blog</em> had a good year in terms of readership and when analyzing the various analytic tools and data available to me (and factoring out SPAM, bots and other non-interested visitors) it appears to be a worthy endeavor.<br />
<br />
Following are the top 17 most visited <i>IHEC Blog</i> posts in 2012.<br />

You'll notice some overlap between the years with popular posts. Perhaps a Top 10 (or Top 23) all time most popular post compilation is due...but that won't happen until things slow down!</span></div>

I have a <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/111848031801692293699/about" target="_blank">healthy web presence</a> within the international education community and the main website for my side consulting work<i><a href="http://davidcomp.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"> International Higher Education Consulting</a></i> can be found at <a href="http://davidcomp.wordpress.com/">davidcomp.wordpress.com/</a>. My other main website, <i><a href="http://ihec-djc.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">IHEC Blog</a> </i>(where this post originated from), could arguably be called my home base as it is much more popular and the content is more robust and frequent. I do have plans to rework and rethink my entire web presence and social media strategy but for now all is currently working very well for me and all roads lead to my <i><a href="http://davidcomp.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">International Higher Education Consulting</a></i> website. For some time now I've been thinking and working to change the look and feel of the website and after numerous small adjustments I have what I think will be the final product (until I decide to change yet again). Below is a screen shot of the new site with one of<a href="http://davidcomp.wordpress.com/2011/11/21/international-education-and-the-quiet-game/" target="_blank"> my favorite posts</a>. What do you think?

I must admit that my time on the site has been limited and I don't have much on the the <i><a href="http://ihec-djc.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">IHEC Blog</a></i> but I do hope to change that as it seems relatively easy to Pin things...stay tuned!<br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Five years ago today I started <i><a href="http://ihec-djc.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">International Higher Education Consulting Blog</a></i> (<i>IHEC Blog</i>). My first post "Initiatives in 2006 to Increase Student Diversity in Education Abroad" is available <a href="http://ihec-djc.blogspot.com/2007/02/initiatives-in-2006-to-increase-student.html" target="_blank">here</a> and this past week I also posted my <a href="http://ihec-djc.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-book-one-white-face-by-hilary-corna.html" target="_blank">900th post</a> on <i>IHEC Blog</i>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>IHEC Blog</i> pushed me to create <a href="https://plus.google.com/111848031801692293699/about" target="_blank">related internet properties</a> and I have enjoyed playing in these spaces as well. I've met many great people along the way. Some I have met in person and for some our paths have yet to cross! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>IHEC Blog</i> has gone farther than I ever imagined. Today, <i>IHEC Blog</i> is one of five blogs worldwide selected by the <i>New York Times</i> editors to feed in the 'Headlines Around the Web' area of the <a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/e/education_and_schools/international_education/index.html" target="_blank">International Education section</a> of the<i> New York Times</i> online.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
