The week in review: Our most popular stories, blogs, Facebook posts, more
Throughout the week, we publish various top 5 or top 3 lists of roanoke.com content on Page 2 of the newspaper. For the first time, I’ve rounded up all of our weekly stats for this one blog post (and thanks to some new metrics, I’ve added the top 5 stories on roanoke.com).
Is this something you’d like to see weekly? Your input would be helpful.
