We love numbered lists – everywhere!

This week, we’re chock full of the content you – and I – can’t resist clicking: numbered lists and how-to’s! They never cease to pull me in, and as much as we like to make fun of those headlines – they still work! We love ’em, our readers love ’em and so the content creation world turns.
