Sure, if it were a couple longer you would have a problem but at the moment it's fine. Matt, I don’t think you do have too many posts in the Top Posts section.

Easy to set-up, and offers flexibility. You should give it a try. Why not use the popularity plugin from Alex King and display the top 10 posts that have been enjoying the highest popularity.

Polling visitors is also a real possibility, although I wouldn't want to do it too often or after a while people would just lose interest and stop voting. Keep the thoughts coming guys!

An ever-growing list of top posts not only gets too long to scan, but, unless you change its order, it always looks the same. How about this: (1) decide on how many to list on the current page (e.g. five) and link to (2) a new page where you put the others (3) do a FIFO every time you add a new one. It might also be an idea to periodically poll your readers to see what THEY think is you pillar content. You might be surprised...
