For those new to this series, "This Week's Picks" is a (loosely) biweekly blog where I share some of my favorite ArcGIS Online content with you.

If you are interested in earlier posts, they’re archived here: This Week's Picks - ArcGIS Online: Archive

It's the time of year for resolutions, goals, and new beginnings. But for This Week's Picks we are not quite ready to begin 2020 yet, and wanted to highlight the most viewed ArcGIS Online Content of 2019. This list excludes the "What's New" and Map Viewer Beta posts. Thanks to Kelly Gerrow for suggesting this idea. 

Most Viewed ArcGIS Blogs in 2019

In 2019, the most popular blogs tended to cover map authoring workflows: 

  1. Heat Mapping in Two Simple Steps
  2. Adding and using photos and images in ArcGIS Online
  3. Visualizing population migration by where people filed their taxes
  4. Create Custom Field Calculations Using Arcade Expressions
  5. Using images as custom point symbols
  6. Combining Arcade and HTML for a Real-life Pop-up Display

Thanks to our blog authors Julia Holtzclaw‌, Lisa Berry‌ and Bern Szukalski‌!
