My favorite part of the blog year is the annual report. I think I did great this year. My readership has grown. Last year I had 204 posts and 4,600 hits. This year only 44 posts but 2,400 views. That’s great. All of my posts come from my journal and there was a lot of stuff I just couldn’t post this year.

I’m really proud of myself for keeping my blog going even when I thought it was doomed. It’s scary to go back to posting after long dry spells. If you’ve ever considered starting a blog I say GO FOR IT! Maybe a ton of people read it. Maybe nobody reads it. But you get to have a voice and share it with the world. I took a chance. I feel proud and accomplished.

Check out the report from the WordPress helper monkeys (click here.)

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,400 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 40 trips to carry that many people.
