2010 in review

January 3, 2011

The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:

Healthy blog!

The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Minty-Fresh™.

Crunchy numbers

A Boeing 747-400 passenger jet can hold 416 passengers. This blog was viewed about 1,300 times in 2010. That’s about 3 full 747s.

In 2010, there were 21 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 120 posts. There were 57 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 168mb. That’s about a picture per week.

The busiest day of the year was September 27th with 20 views. The most popular post that day was Elise Sorum Talks About Belgium.

Where did they come from?

The top referring sites in 2010 were Private networks, valdezcityschools.org, facebook.com, en.wordpress.com, and seo.reachnetwork.com.

Some visitors came searching, mostly for elise sorum, cynthia rylant, library bulletin boards, elementary libraries, and elementary library.
