And here’s another way to look at the passing year… got this cool email from wordpress showing me how I did as a fledgling blogger. Technically I opened this account in June so it only reflects 6 months of posts, but still I’m really HAPPY at the results! Not surprisingly the post with the most views was the Pirates of the Caribbean one. Maybe I should become a paparazzi?
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
A Boeing 747-400 passenger jet can hold 416 passengers. This blog was viewed about 9,200 times in 2010. That’s about 22 full 747s.
In 2010, there were 141 new posts, not bad for the first year! There were 43 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 13mb. That’s about 4 pictures per month.
The busiest day of the year was September 27th with 302 views. The most popular post that day was Pirates of the Caribbean:On Stranger Tides | Greenwich Gets Back To It’s Nautical Roots!.
Where did they come from?
The top referring sites in 2010 were WordPress Dashboard, stumbleupon.com, thebluebookcase.blogspot.com, bookblogs.ning.com, and twitter.com.
Some visitors came searching, mostly for pirates of the caribbean 4 greenwich, pirates of the caribbean greenwich, blackbeard productions greenwich, la poderosa, and some may never live but the crazy never die.

Congratulations on such great report! Here’s to another wonderful year ahead! –Cheri
I agree with WordPress, Zee–those were great posts. I remember each fondly.
I missed those posts, but now that I’m subscribed, I won’t miss anymore! I have Word Press sites, too, and loved that stats e-mail.
Well done Zee … my your blog grow and grow.
Grats on your great stats! I also love that you used the numbers with a different framework to demonstrate just how awesome they are. Something about visualizing a Boeing 747 really helps one appreciate those digits. 🙂 Here’s to another great year!
Isn’t wordpress great? I got the stats too and it says something about how long it will take for visitors to visit Taj Mahal. 🙂 Thanks to Happiness engineers in wordpress! 🙂
Amen! Thanks for everybody who has stopped by and made the blog a ‘blog’. I’m sure 2011 will be another great year for blogging and book banters.
Oh, JoV, finally finished the Rushdie. Will have that final question up tomorrow. What an ending! I feel like I’ve climbed Kilimanjaro.
