A New Brothel Feature: Top Posts

Top Posts
Klaus Varley

Careful readers of The Brothel may have noticed a new addition to our site. If this is you, you are welcome to stop reading this post at any point; the rest of this piece merely explains the details of the new section in an uproariously humorous fashion. (Plus, I just won a bet by using "uproariously" twice in the opening paragraph of a post. Okay, NOW I won.)

Haven't spotted the new section? Perhaps this is your first time here. If so, welcome to The Literary Brothel! We're a creative writing site that has been around - in one form or another...yes, "404" was one of our home pages - since 2001.

Still haven't spotted the new stuff? Alright, jokes aside, it's that group of links on the left side labeled "Top Posts." (I refuse to write "widget" in a sentence. I mean, starting now.)

The point of the widg...page links is to hook those who may stumble upon The Brothel via Google searches of everything from "vegas brothels" to "nevada brothels." However one finds us, we wanted to make fans out of them. Our plan: point them toward some of our most popular posts.

This is not a full-proof plan (more like a 20 proof plan) because even though the posts are popular, it doesn't mean they are our best posts. Why don't I put our best posts on the wid..list? Because there isn't a Google Analytics statistic for "best," that's why.

So, if you have a favorite post (or two, or three, gosh so many favs, m-i-rite?) you feel should be listed in our Top Posts, please leave a comment, shoot me an email, Tweet, etc.

And if you haven't read the current "Top Posts," you've got your reading assignment.

Seriously.
