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…
Crunchy numbers
The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 120,000 times in 2011. If it were an exhibit at the Louvre Museum, it would take about 5 days for that many people to see it.
In 2011, there were 206 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 782 posts. There were 990 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 1,012mb. That’s about 3 pictures per day.
The busiest day of the year was August 14th with 4,028 views.
Where did they come from?
The top referring sites in 2010 were wordpress.com (due to being Freshly Pressed TWO different times), mommasunshine.wordpress.com, lifesclassroom.blogspot.com, and twitter.com, and thru Google Reader. I really appreciate the linkage, kids! You all rock!!
Geographically speaking…

Great performance! I wish my blog performed at par with yours. I guess I need to work on my writing skills and discipline a LOT MORE…whew…just thinking about it makes me sweat!

I actually thought the stats weren’t as good as 2010′s, but I’m okay with how 2011 turned out.
I’d love to try and double this for 2012, though.

I wish I was more of a commenter, myself…but that’s what the “like” button is for, right?

HOW INTERESTING that I was one of your top commenters, CaNook!
Did you know that you WERE NOT one of mine?
You must get bored of bacon and booze talk.
January 4th, 2012 at 7:32 am
Heh.
It’s because people on yours comment a dozen times per post and have conversations. I’ll NEVER be able to catch up.

Damn! I missed being top commenter by 1!!
Love these stats!
