Most Popular Topics of 2011
2011 was a year that saw the world suffer tragedies like the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, tornados ravaging the South and Hurricane Irene hammering the east coast.
But we were also captivated by other events throughout the year like the birth of several new animals at the National Zoo, the launch of the last space shuttle and the troops coming home from Iraq.
We’ve shared information about a lot of different subjects over the course of the year. Here’s a look at what was most popular on our blog and on USA.gov in 2011.
