Longstraws 2010 in review
The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how Longstraws did in 2010, and provided a high level summary of my overall blog health:
The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads This blog is on fire!.
Crunchy numbers
A Boeing 747–400 passenger jet can hold 416 passengers. This blog was viewed about 1,500 times in 2010. That’s about 4 full 747s.
In 2010, there were 16 new posts, not bad for the first year! There were 128 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 7mb. That’s about 2 pictures per week.
The busiest day of the year was November 4th with 163 views. The most popular post that day was Interviews Bogans Like.

Personal blogging learnings from 2010
- This shit is hard. Trying to find something interesting to talk about every week was more difficult that I anticipated
- Keeping word counts below the 1000 word mark can be difficult ,but it vital if you want to keep your audience's interest.
- People love photos.
- Wordpress.com is a terrible platform, but Wordpress standalone is awesome. At some point I want to port this over to the stand alone version.
- Writing is meditative.
