Four Years

Four years ago today I put my website online and started this blog. Still enjoying both, so no plans to change things! As of yesterday, I've put 568,683 words on the blog. Not as much about logos and lettering as I'd prefer in the past year, but when I get busy there's less time for that, so I guess it's not such a bad thing, really. Wordpress stats have recorded 756,611 views on the blog, and I didn't start using that feature right away, so I missed some. Still quite a lot, and my Logo Studies continue to get the most traffic, with Batman in the lead.

I don't really understand the stats on my website provided by Lunarpages, my web host, but the numbers are quite large. From what I can glean, there seem to be about 5,000 unique visitors a month to the entire website, and far more "hits," which are probably mostly searches that don't result in actual visits. Is that good? Seems so to me.

Recently I joined FaceBook, after resisting that social media site for years, and after an initial adjustment period, I've grown to enjoy it, and check in there frequently, posting at least once a day. Twitter is still not something I have any desire to take part in, but that could always change in the future. Is Facebook increasing my blog or website traffic? I can't tell, doesn't seem to be making a large difference.

To all of you reading this far, my fans and constant readers, thank you! I'll try to keep things interesting here in the coming year.
