Looking back at two years of blogging about public speaking












After two years and 256 posts, it is time take a look back. Based on my labels, the numbers of posts for the top 30 topics were:

39 - Fear
29 - Social anxiety (social phobia)
27 - PowerPoint
26 - Visual aids
19 - YouTube
18 - Storytelling
15 - Surveys
13 - Graphics
12 - Joy and Toastmasters
11 - Research
10 - Planning
9 - Stage fright
8 - Rehearsing and Body language
6 - Films, Gestures, Humor, Speech topics, Top lists, and Video
5 - Blogs, Churchill, Color, Evaluations, Introductions, Jargon, Naked audience, Props, and Speech titles

The blog title promised both fear and joy, but there has been much more on fear. The biggest surprise on the list was having a series of five posts about picturing the audience naked. There have been many thoughtful comments and a few silly ones.
