Happy blog-birthday to me!
As of today, I’ve been blogging as web-goddess for six years. SIX YEARS! It blows my mind. And just as I’ve done the past few years (2006, 2005, 2004, 2003), I’ve pulled together some statistics to celebrate and reflect…
- Number of posts: 949 (An increase of 170 from last year!)
- Number of comments: 2457 (Down 71 from last year)
- Comments to post ratio: 2.59
- Posts mentioning the Snook: 238 (An increase of 38, for a total of 25%. TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT. I need more friends.)
- Most commented posts: Oscar Contest 2006, Rude Customer?, WW Before and After, Oscar Contest Results, Becoming an Australian Citizen
- Top 10 commenters excluding myself: Amy (135), M-H (101), Eileen (79), Crumpet (67), Hank (64), Tricia (60), Max (51), Bex (50), Miss Helen (48), and jussi (41)
- Most famous commenter: Bill Gaghan from The Amazing Race
- Polls: just two, but one was rather contentious
- Moblog posts: 30
- Number of teeth lost: four (two here, then two more here)
- Percentage of Year Spent in Stomach-Churning Pain: approximately 30% (culminating in an endoscopy to confirm my gastritis, and then a minor bout of depression as I healed)
- Media appearances: User Friendly Link of the Day, article in MX (scan here), radio interview on 2GB, knitting on Sunrise (footage here), quoted in The Daily Southtown, knitting with Nuala on Channel 7 (again), WWKIP Day mention on the ABC site, blurb in SMH Fashion Police column, article and photo in Sun-Herald, interview on Radio 4BC, interview on Radio 2UE, interview on Radio National, interview on Nova 96.9 (And after all that, STILL NO CHAT SHOW?!)
- Weight loss goals met: getting into a size 14, getting into the 70kg’s, attaining a healthy BMI, reaching my WW goal weight, achieving Lifetime Membership
- Races run: 4 (Mother’s Day Classic 8K, City 2 Surf 14K, Daily Telegraph BridgeRun 9K, Bridge to Bridge 10K)
- Nephews born: just the one!
- Photos of my cat: two. (TWO? JUST TWO? I should have my blogging license revoked. Well, she does have her own Flickr account….)
Thanks to all of you who stop by, and especially to those of you who comment and e-mail. It’s especially nice that so many of you have become friends in real life. May we all have an interesting 2007!
Awesome and totally worthy of accolades and gratitude–congrats, Kris! Here’s to at least six (or sixteen or even sixty, whatever floats your boat on down the line) more years of great links and posts.
happy weblog birthday, and happy new year!
Hey, congrats!
Happy blogiversary!
happy blogday to you
Happy blog-birthday Kris.
Happy blogiversary Kris. I didn’t realise I talked so much! 🙂 I’ll shut up now…
Thanks everybody! (And please don’t, M-H.)
(I should note that the Top 10 commenters list might not be 100% accurate, in that it relied on the commenter always using the same name. A few of you occasionally like to put in joke names, and that might have shifted the totals a little bit. )
Happy happy blogiversary to you, Kris!
Happy Blogiversary (from your biggest poster!)
Happy Blogday! I’m pleased that I made the top 10 this year!!!!
Happy Blogiversary!
Six years is quite an accomplishment. Any blogs I’ve started can never lasts six days!
Is that true? I’m really in top 10? Now
i must learn to read (and delete) my comments before i push that “submit comment” button.
BTW I’m the only one who don’t have a blog or webpage :-)) Good me, i’m an individual!
Happy (belated) blogday, and here’s to many more! 🙂
