The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. Thanks to all of my readers and Happy New Year. I will still try to pick topics, but suggestions are always welcome. – MG
Here’s an excerpt:
600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 4,800 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 8 years to get that many views.
