Each year on Dec.31 WordPress gives you a summary of your blog/website for the year past. Yesterday I received mine, and once again it is a humbling experience. From this point of view, that in terms of sheer numbers my blog is a peanut in the blogging world, a real lightweight. I cannot and do not share the popularity that many other bloggers have. Nor do I want to or seek to. But it’s humbling all the same, and that’s a good place to be.
But my “report” is humbling in this regard too, that I was blessed to be able to add 732 new posts this year and have 39,000 people from 147 different countries view this blog! That latter number is more than double the year before. It humbles me to think that there would be that much interest in reading what I post. So to all of you readers – whether casual or regular – thank you! And I hope you come along for 2013 as we press on with more fresh material to strengthen us in the “3 R’s” – being righteous in Christ, being Reformed according to the Word of God, and being readers of good books. If you wish to become a “follower” of this blog, there is a place on the right side bar to sign up (subscribe free!), so that you will automatically receive any post via email. And if you are interested in trying to find something on this blog, there is a powerful search box for doing so.
If “stats” are your kind of thing, I have made this WordPress annual report public for you. Enjoy the visual presentation!
Here’s an excerpt:
4,329 films were submitted to the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. This blog had 39,000 views in 2012. If each view were a film, this blog would power 9 Film Festivals.
