I started this blog on Jan. 5th, 2010.
In some ways it has been less a blog and more a chronicle of my poetry career… but that is what it was always meant to be, so it’s all good. 🙂
As 2010 winds down I thought I would take a stroll through the blog and find some factoids… a year in review, as it were.
Total # of views (Not including my own) : 2,741
Busiest day: June 9th, 2010 – 74 views
Not exactly Wil Wheaton…
Top Referrer: Facebook and rpriske.livejournal.com get the nods, but that is almost unfair since that (along with Twitter) is where I announce a new entry.
Top Referrer that wasn’t directly from one of my pages: monkeypudding.livejournal.com/friends
That is the one and only R.C.Weslowski!
Top Search Engine Terms that led to this blog: “Ian Keteku”
Hey, a guy becomes World Slam Champion and suddenly gets important.
I just tried to look at which post had the most subscribers…. but it is a big tie…
The biggest Click Through FROM this blog (after the links to my Live Journal and the JRSW blog I share with some friends) is a tie between:
Ian Keteku and Song for an Ancient City by Amal El-Mohtar.
Before I get to the TOP POST of the year, what about it’s poor cousin, the BOTTOM POST of the year…
Which post got the least hits? (Not counting one line posts that just give an update on my weekend poetry plans. Only entries with actual content are eligible):
A poem that was a sequal of sorts to Why Art? that I wrote to perform at the National Art Gallery.
It isn’t the worst poem I ever wrote, but neither does it deserve great fanfare.
So, which post is the TOP POST of the year?
That says more about Amal’s fans that my blog. She linked to the post I gave me a cavalcade of hits.
The POEM that received the most hits was Moving to Arizona.
Interesting. That isn’t my most popular poem, but it seemed to strike a chord on-line.
So, my poetry career, crammed into a year, with some interesting side tangents along the way.
Not a bad year. 🙂
Anyway… here is 2011… and the new poem I will be debuting on January 3rd!
