As we look forward to an amazing 2013 here at Caspio, I wanted to take a look back and re-visit some of the more popular posts and topics that were popular over the past year. The following posts saw constant traffic even months after their initial posting on the blog.

I initially started looking at the most popular blog topics from Jan 1 – Dec 28 (when i first started researching the page view totals) – and realized that some of the most viewed, shared, and commented upon topics were actually written in late 2011. So, while this is a “best of” 2012 post, some of the content is admittedly from 2011. Regardless, all of these posts are still highly relevant to anyone looking to migrate from Excel, build a secure online database, or optimize an existing Caspio app.

Enjoy (and for those who have referenced the valuable tips and tricks in these posts) Enjoy Again! Just click on the image to get to the corresponding post.

One of our most popular series was around creating a Caspio online database from your Excel spreadsheets:

As marketing and otherwise engaging with customers, prospects, partners and basically anyone via social media becomes more important – our post on building Facebook apps with Caspio was quite popular:

Caspio Facebook Application

Great performance for your apps is always important. Lots of people wanted to learn how to make their search-based apps run at optimal speed:

Search was a popular topic in general – with thousands of visitors accessing these tips on making super simple, highly usable search forms in Caspio:Creating Search Form Usability
These are just a few of the most read blog posts from the past year or so. And as we begin 2013, you can expect even more great tips, tricks, news and more from Caspio!
