fromtheheartofeurope_feed Apr. 19th, 2026 11:54 am)A little belatedly, I have discovered that now that I have ticked the “digital creator” box on Facebook, I can get the system to show me the levels of engagement for each of my posts there. These are the top five from the first three months of this year – two cute photos from my Gallifrey One trip, one book review, one Guardian article and one scammer.
5) Messages with someone pretending to be an old acquaintance.
4) Cute pic from the convention.
3) Scary story from the Guardian. (Incidentally it does not seem to have been a problem that I linked directly to the article from the Facebook post.)
2) One of my book reviews, which in fact outperformed all of the other book reviews that I posted in Q1 by a factor of at least ten. Perhaps the photo of Carole Ann Ford helped?
1) Another cute picture from Gallifrey One.
Last weekend’s post about car nationality stickers beats all of these put together.
But then, what about Bluesky, where I focus more energy though I admit I get less return? Well, three of the best performing posts there from January, February and March are all links to articles by other people; and the most quoted is only eight words long…

My top performing post of my own content was this anniversary one (start of a very long thread):
Last week’s post about Ian Watson did better than all of the above.
I post less on LinkedIn, though I should start investing in it more consistently, not least because it gives me analytics without having to do anything extra. My three top posts there for Q1 were:
3) A brief note on a small aspect of EU-US relations:
2) Yet another scam:
And finally 1) a querulent note asking why an EU story from the UK was passing without comment in Brussels. This one had neither an image nor a link.
Al three of these are a bit spiky, I must admit. So many LinkedIn posts are annoyingly positive – perhaps bring grumpy is the way to stand out.
NB that you are welcome to follow me on all of the above, but I am unlikely to accept a connection request if I do not know you personally.
