The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,300 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 22 trips to carry that many people.
Hi there,
it’s been a while since I last posted and that’s been due to work commitments, a certain amount of social activity and working on the third book in the Col Sec series.
The second book, entitled Omega, is in the editing phase and will soon be ready for publication. I have tentatively set a deadline for publication of mid July and I hope everything will be in place so that I can fulfill that promise, although ‘promise’ is probably the wrong word as so many things can go wrong to delay that expectation, so it’s best I just say that I hope to deliver on that forecast.
Everyone concerned with the other aspects of the process is working extremely hard to get this project off the ground and on to the Amazon websites and I’m looking forward to it immensely. My expectations are high and I just hope I don’t disappoint any readers.
I’ll keep you all updated on the progress and hopefully Omega will be available to you all.
See you soon,
Jan.
Hi there,
it’s strange how something so obvious can be overlooked so easily.
I clicked on the link for better blogging in 2011 and followed it through to the ‘writing headlines’ feature and after reading the tips it occurred to me that it was as plain as the nose on my face. It couldn’t have been more obvious if it had slapped me in the face which led me to wonder what other things are so obvious that we overlook them because of their obviousness? There must be many examples and I’m throwing the floor open for anyone to start off a list of these things. It may be trivial, but it’s just a bit of fun, so go on guys let’s see what we can come up with.
See you soon,
Jan.
Hi there,
I read recently about an idea the admin have had for giving people on wordpress inspiration to write more, and thought I’d give it a go.
Two ways this idea can be used, post every day or once a week, I thought I’d try the once a week thingy and anything after that is a bonus.
Not putting too much pressure on myself I’m trying this unofficially, by that I mean I’ve not added the tags required to enter this thing, I’m not sure if it’s a competition or just something someone suggested to give people like me a chance to connect with other a little more and at the same time gain some experience in blogging.
However, so far I’ve managed to add a post every day since seeing this and I’m quite enjoying it. I can’t guarantee the input will remain at this level once I start back to work on tues but I’ll certainly try.
I know this sounds a bit like waffling, a lot of words that don’t really mean or say much but if the purpose of the idea was to get people like me to blog more regardless of the content then so far it’s been a success. In time the quality of the content will improve I’m sure, no one who writes get’s worse at it the more they do so having said that, I bid you farewell for now,
see you soon
Jan
