Lower Numbers

I was looking at the number of posts I have had in September and was rather disappointed with my output. With 6 days (actually 5 because I will be in Elkader on Saturday, September 30th and offline), in order to reach the number of posts from last month, I would have to write, after this post, 40 posts by Friday. I may be wordy and have a lot to say but I'm resisting the urge to post 8 times a day just to reach a number. I looked back at the last 21 months (1year, 9 months), to get some historical perspective. Right now, were I to not post this post or any other post in the remaining days of September 2017, I'd be at the 20th value in a list of month / posts, arranged from 'most' to 'fewest', as illustrated in this table:

 See September 2017? Ranked #20. However, I realized I've also a numbered list of 54 items that are political in some way on this page - http://prhmusic.blogspot.com/p/get-your-political-opinions-here-30.html. If I would have posted each of those as a separate post, instead of a single page, I would be at 117 posts, which would put me at #9 (below March 2017 and above January 2017. I would consider that pretty good!
