Happy 3rd Birthday, Poly Land!

Hey folks. It’s official. Three years ago today, I began posting daily here at this site. And at that same time I made a private commitment to myself and a public commitment to anyone watching at the time that no matter what, I would publish a new article here every single day.

Three years in, and I’ve been able to keep that promise.

Poly Land’s third year was very exciting. This year, I launched my third book Dealing with Difficult Metamours, the first book devoted solely to troubleshooting metamour relationships.

In addition, this year Poly Land was the recipient of Kinkly’s Reader’s Choice award, the first polyamory-focused blog ever to win that honor. Huzzah!

Readership is continuing to grow. In recent months, our Facebook page has grown to over 100,000 followers. Woah.

Anyway, as is our long-standing birthday tradition, here are the most popular posts from the last year. (Posts that made last years’ lists were ineligible, see this post for the top posts of our first year and see this post for the second year).
