The blog is over one year old! 54 posts and going strong…Thanks to all of you who put up with my educational, somewhat humorous and abstract nonsense each and every week. (and a special thanks to those of you who pass it along!) The reason for this very special Tuesday edition of the EDGE Blog is because I have a busy week of travel, sun and family on tap! My sis-in-law’s birthday (Happy 30th Tiff!), my parents’ 32nd wedding anniversary and my little sister gets married on Friday to cap it all off. So to be short and sweet, here are some stats of the blog’s growth and readership over the past year as well as the most viewed posts of all time, enjoy!
- The very first blog post had 30 views total. (This is when I questioned a lot of things regarding to writing this…)
- Last week’s blog post was viewed 108 times the first day. (not a bad increase in one year’s time…)
- The least viewed month was November of ’09 with 174 (apparently this was when I was still trying to be mostly educational…)
- The most views in one month is 594 in March of 2010 (no longer “smart” just funny. Go with your audience!) and that was with a week in Vegas…nice!
- The closest reader to the blog “hub“ (the studio) is .05 miles shared by 3 people
- The farthest is deep, somewhere in Russia deep. If you read this today man, thanks! (seriously, Russia, Australia, Europe [I know, continent, not country] have all posted comments or have return tags on their views…I’m an international sensation!)
Thank you once again to all that have read the blog, inspired a blog or passed along the blog. I really do appreciate it each and every week. Alright, enough sentiment…Here’s your entertainment!
