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:

Healthy blog!

The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.

Crunchy numbers

The average container ship can carry about 4,500 containers. This blog was viewed about 17,000 times in 2010. If each view were a shipping container, your blog would have filled about 4 fully loaded ships.

In 2010, there were 237 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 382 posts. There were 545 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 283mb. That’s about a picture per day.

The busiest day of the year was April 11th with 946 views. The most popular post that day was About Kelly.

Where did they come from?

The top referring sites in 2010 were suzannemcminn.com, mail.yahoo.com, chickensintheroad.com, facebook.com, and everydayruralty.com.

Some visitors came searching, mostly for helen frankenthaler, across the universe, old truck, impressionists, and singing in the rain.

While I didn’t paint much over my vacation I did do quite a bit of crocheting. Here are the hats that I made that will be available at Delilah’s should you need a warm, fashionable hat during this cold weather. It’s very satisfying to put colors and textures together to come up with new hats.

Tomorrow, a special order cupcake hat. 🙂
