ISW: From infant to toddler

Yes, believe it or not, ISW is now a whopping three years old. Happy birthday to us!

Needless to say, I wasn't sure back when I did the first post here whether this endeavor would succeed. But I think by any measure, we have reason to be proud of what's happened at ISW:

• 330 total posts by our 11 contributors, eliciting over 1,400 comments
• over 4,000 unique visitors, with an average of 100 visits per week
• visitors from 124 countries
• 70+ followers, plus over 400 RSS and e-mail subscribers

And here's our 'greatest hits' (or at least those posts that have drawn the most comments!):

1. Evaluating teaching credentials (September 2007, me )
2. Business and ethics: A disconnect — Part One (July 2007, by John Alexander)
3. Does philosophy provide any answers? (October 2007, by Mike Austin)
4. Teaching pre-college philosophy (March 2009, by Jason Nicholson)
5. Recommending students do what they shouldn't do (February 2008, me)
6. A frustration: Evaluating reasoning vs. evaluating premises (January 2010, me)
7. The reading brain (February 2008, by Becko Copenhaver)
8. On Course, #1: Before the Beginning (The Syllabus) (October 2008, me)
9. Reading student e-mails (January 2010, by Chris Panza)
10. What's philosophy for, anywho? (September 2008, by Chris Panza)
