Good morning! It’s day two of my experimental blog series in which I list the most clicked-on stories and the most commented items from the previous day. The top stories list comes from pageviews data in Google Analytics, and the most commented items are tracked in our CMS.

As always, if you have any questions or feedback, leave me a note in the comments. I’ll write an update with a list of today’s top stories so far before I head home this afternoon.
