Last fall, we launched a new platform for telling the stories of Girls Inc. Our blog, “The Inspiration Project,” has provided a space for sharing program highlights, personal reflections, and the inside scoop on all things Girls Inc. The Inspiration Project is still young, but I thought it’d be fun to review what you, the reader, found interesting in our first few months.

Here’s what drew your attention (via pageviews) in 2010:
