The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
19,000 people fit into the new Barclays Center to see Jay-Z perform. This blog was viewed about 59,000 times in 2012. If it were a concert at the Barclays Center, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

And may I just wish you all, whoever you are, a Happy Hogmanay. Even those of you who have never commented upon let alone liked one of my posts. Even you!

I mean, like, a LOT!!
And you also Like a lot too. Thanks again. I am not as prolific a commenter as you but I reckon I must be one of the most prolific Likers of posts on your blog?!
I just had a second look (my first was cursory) and see that I comment a lot.
You are my most prolific commenter Noeleen. I should give you a prize. I do appreciate it very much. Does my appreciation suffice?!
Thanks Sam – & happy new year to you
How do you get these reports? I noticed last year, people were doing posts on them but I never got one. And now this year again I haven’t got one. boo hoo! I’d love to see it .
And the self portraits post was popular of the day, which doesn’t surprise me. I liked it much. How about a self portrait of you?
- by me?
oh! doh!
Hee hee, 4.33 am, 1 January!!
I don’t know what the rhyme or reason is for who gets these reports Noeleen. Any more than why some posts get Freshly Pressed.
All you need to know of me is written between the lines on this blog
Cool, I’m one of your commenters! Happy New Year, Sam! May you have a wonderful new year.
Wishing for you in 2013 what you wish for yourself Amy.
You too, Sam! Thank you.
