Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 17,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 6 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

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:

The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.

Crunchy numbers

About 3 million people visit the Taj Mahal every year. This blog was viewed about 52,000 times in 2010. If it were the Taj Mahal, it would take about 6 days for that many people to see it.

In 2010, there were 84 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 120 posts. There were 71 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 15mb. That’s about 1 pictures per week.

The busiest day of the year was May 17th with 693 views. The most popular post that day was Fame Whores.

Where did they come from?

The top referring sites in 2010 were facebook.com, thedeadparrot.dreamwidth.org, en.wordpress.com, twitter.com, and critiquecircle.com.

Some visitors came searching, mostly for spongebob, spongebob squarepants, red carpet, spongebob pictures, and diary of a wimpy kid.

Vacancies plural

As you know, we’re currently looking for a new blogger to take Amy’s place on Sundays. We’re also now in need of a temporary stand-in for Paul Carroll.

Paul, just like the rest of us, has personal commitments that he needs to give his full attention to. As such, he’s suspending all of his online activity for the near future so he can do this. Life happens, and it demands attention.

So, we need a stand-in blogger until he returns!

We need fresh ideas and a small amount of commitment for these two exciting blogger positions.

If you’re interested in either of our open vacancies, please email me at doc@terrierandy7.com, or leave me a note below.
