The stat monkeys over at WordPress.com mulled over how my blog did in 2010, and here’s a summary of its overall health (the following preso is theirs):
The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.
Crunchy numbers
A Boeing 747-400 passenger jet can hold 416 passengers. This blog was viewed about 8,400 times in 2010. That’s about 20 full 747s.
In 2010, there were 80 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 104 posts. There were 56 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 38mb. That’s about 1 pictures per week.
The busiest day of the year was November 7th with 320 views. The most popular post that day was Cougars vs. Leopards.
Where did they come from?
The top referring sites in 2010 were huffingtonpost.com, facebook.com, mail.yahoo.com, en.wordpress.com, and lynnespreen.com.
Some visitors came searching, mostly for any shiny thing, anyshinything.com, anyshinything, lynne morgan spreen, and carolyn sollano.

Lynne here: I tell people if they’re thinking of starting a blog, you can’t go wrong with WordPress.com. I didn’t even know they did this kind of year-end summary, but it’s another reason to feel good about them. And they didn’t even have to pay me to say that.
On Tuesday, how about we talk about your personal goals for 2011? Be thinking about it. See ya then.
I like your blog. I’m following.
Thanks, Shalilah. See you around.
Congrats, Lynne! That’s totally awesome! It’s gratifying when we find that something we’ve written strikes a chord in others. I’m eager to read your thoughts in the new year.
Hey Lynne,
You go, girl! Congrats! Where do you find this info? I know mine will be lots lower than yours but I’m curious.
Keep up the good work!! 🙂
Vonnie, I was surprised too, but apparently WordPress.com just sends it to you if you have a blog. Kathy got one too.
Congratulations Lynne for filling up 20 747’s this year. Phenomenal stats,girlfriend. I am looking forward to following you in 2011 for more lively, thought-provoking discussions~ Onward!
Kathy
Ditto, Sis! HNY!
Happy new year,Lynne. I can’t wait for your post in 2011!
