The 2007 site stats report
By William M. Hartnett on Jan 1, 2008 in meta, site stats
Resolution for 2008: Adhere even more lazily to widely accepted rules of “good blogging.” Thought- and/or commenting-provoking lists? Not around these parts. Have another picture of Pokeweed. Stay focused on a single topic? More videos of sweet cars and Japanese people dressed as Star Wars characters dancing to Motown hits, I say. Here’s the year-end roundup, bearing in mind that my year started Feb. 13, and that I switched from Blogger to WordPress mid-year, killing a bunch of old comments and even a few posts.
