2011 has been a great year for airō. The Lord allowed for me to transition from blogger to WordPress, which has caused an increase in traffic for a number of reasons. The Lord also blessed me to become a contributor for the Christian Research Network shortly after the transition. The consequences of these changes have resulted in a huge increase in traffic, which means many more people have been exposed to the Gospel and other helpful resources to examine one’s faith and be exhorted to holiness and sound doctrine.
I am so thankful for the many readers who have visited the website and shared it with your friends on the internet. It’s been wonderful and encouraging to get to know many of you through facebook and the comment sections on the blog. I hope to hear from many more of you in 2012 as we sharpen one another in Christ. If this is your first time here and you like what you see, feel free to subscribe by email (to the right) or add airō to your preferred RSS feeder (like Google Reader).
Below you will find a top 10 list from 2011, which is based on the number of views for each article. I’ve also provided a top 10 list of my favorite posts, in addition to links to a few of the series I’ve done in 2010 and 2011.
As always, I welcome and encourage your feedback so I can make airō a place that glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ to the best of my ability. May Christ be glorified in your life in 2012 as you seek His face and be conformed to Him by the marvelous grace of our great God and Savior.

It’s wonderful to hear God is using you and your blog to spread His message. 🙂 My blog is on blogger…out of curiosity…what made you switch? 🙂

Hi Katy, several reasons actually. Blogger had gotten too heavy and page load times were too slow. This was due to various widgets and a tweaked template. I also liked the professional look of WordPress and the commenting system. SEO also seems to be better for WordPress, and I like the Dashboard better as well. Overall, I think it’s more user friendly than blogger and very happy with the switch – never looking back. 😉

Thank you for the information :). So far, for the past few years, blogspot has served me well. I think I would be too nervous to ever switch! 🙂
