Thank you to all my readers who helped the StoryWiseGuy experiment off to a good start in 2010. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and I’m looking forward to even better offerings in the year to come.

Stay tuned!

In the meanwhile, here’s a look back on how we’re doing so far. The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how we did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of StoryWiseGuy and its overall blog health:

The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.

(Not sure what that measures, but hey we’ll take it!)

Crunchy numbers

A Boeing 747-400 passenger jet can hold 416 passengers. StoryWiseGuy was viewed about 1,300 times in 2010. That’s about 3 full 747s.

Since we came online in September, 2010, there were 8 new posts, not bad for the first year! There were 85 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 33mb. That’s about 2 pictures per week.

The busiest day of the year was December 6th with 67 views. The most popular post that day was Brawly Old Saint Nicholas.

Where did you come from?

The top referring sites in 2010 were mail.yahoo.com, googleads.g.doubleclick.net, twitter.com, facebook.com, and kiva.org.

Some visitors came searching, mostly for saint nicholas of myra, saint nicholas tomb, storywiseguy, old saint nick, and saint nicholas myra.
