The year that was in outsideleft
These stories were huge. Overall.
Then I began thinking about weighting them... To be the top story, you'd have to divide even crudely the opportunity to amass page views by the number of days the story was available... So, massive impact or steady eddie's... The tortoises and the hares. And well who could be bothered to even read that... So The big ones from 2016... Great to see one of our favorite artists Greta Alfaro at the very top. Her summer show was hugely creative. Looking forward to seeing her work on display in Wales in 2017.
