All the fireworks: As You Were’s 2012 stats

If you’re a nerd like me, you can’t get enough of infographics and stats. (This doesn’t, by the way, mean I understand Google Analytics any better than you. Probably less.)

So I was a bit disappointed when I got a year-in-review animated report from WordPress.com on my blog — which only included data from my time hosted on their site. All the data and stats from when I moved to a self-hosted site in May were not included, so for the WordPress.com report to be all rah-rah about my meagre posts and hits for the few months I was with them was a bit anticlimactic.

I was quite happy, then , to see a separate report generated from my Jetpack stats from my WordPress.org version of As You Were on my self-hosted site.  Far more impressive, even if it excluded all the data from the earlier WordPress.com version!  Nuts. Well, maybe by the end of 2013 I’ll have a nice, unified animated report.

I realize I’ve lost nearly all of you by this point, and only the data and stats nerds have hung around. You lucky dogs, you: you can take a gander at my 2012 report right here.

2012: What a year it’s been

werewolfUsually by this point in the holiday season (and the year) I am totally exhausted, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank you all for being part of my first year of blogging here at As You Were.

I started in February with a WordPress.com site, and started connecting with great bloggers such as Offer Kuban (wonderful writing on wine and travel), sj (brilliantly booksnobby), Amy (hilarious and with many deep thoughts), Andreas (witty and smart scientific posts), and The Booksluts (who very patiently bore with me as I tried to figure out WordPress.) (Actually, I’d say that goes for everyone who stops by here.)
