And in other news, the final tally for this blog at midnight last night was 99, 399 views. I'd been hoping to make it to 100,000 by the end of the year. Nearly, but not quite. Just my bit of fun.
Even so, many many thanks to everyone who has read, commented and looked at my special place over this past year! I can't be precise about how many of those have been in 2014, but the average has been 4500 a month, so that's about 55000 this year. Fascinating yes? I thought so too :)
Have a great year and keep coming here!
UPDATE: As of 18:00 today, Jan 4, 2015, I have topped the 100,000 views mark! Four days over my goal date, but I'm very chuffed!! Thanks to everyone all over again!!
RIVERGIRL: books, blog and barges: My posts are mini-memoirs about about life on a barge, our travels and the Netherlands. Oh and sometimes about my writing.
Happy New Year to you, Val, and I wish you health and happiness for 2015. Congratulations on your fantastic stats - 100,000 is amazing. It has taken me nearly 4 years to hit 75,000 this week. Your blog is always enjoyable, thank you :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Patricia! I've been at it a bit longer than you though, so 75,000 is terrific! I've only really been 'promoting' my blog in the last 18 months, so before that, I just coasted along. I love your blog too! Happy new year to you and your family!
DeleteHappy New Year! If I'd known about your stats I would have popped in more often! Here's hoping its a great year xxxx
ReplyDeleteA wonderful new year to you too Ms P! Not far off from the 100K now. :-)
ReplyDeleteHello Val, good to see that you are receiving some great stats; mine are currently at 88k+ & rise at about 1k per month depending on the number of blog posts that I put up.
ReplyDeleteFinally. I wish you a Happy Gregorian New Year xxxxxx
Many blessings to you Val in the coming year.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed reading and following your writing this year even if I haven't always left a comment - look forward to your posts in 2015!
Thank you so much, Fran, Jo, Mel and Jane! It's been lovely having you here and visiting your blogs too. Of all the social media forms, this is still my favourite - I've made so many really good friends through blogging. Bless you all! xxxx
ReplyDeleteThis is my second Happy New Year comment on this - Val, have you rejected my comment or has blogspot eaten it?
ReplyDeleteHmm, the latter, I think…this is the first one I've seen, but thank you for both, Jo! When are you off? Okay, I'd better ask you that on your own blog...
DeleteHappy New Year Val ... and just enjoy the year ahead .. cheers Hilary
