Now that 2010 is done and dusted, I figured it was time to have a look at how the blog has done over the last year.
Before I even had a look at any of the numbers I knew that there was one area that would be way below the level that I had hoped for. This number refers to the number of blog posts that I put out during the year. I had started the year with a view to post at least once a week – 52 blog posts. Well that didn’t happen… only a paltry 21 made it online last year. This needs to change this year.
Here’s a look at what took place:

I’m pretty happy with these numbers and they certainly give me a benchmark for this year. If you have any feedback on these numbers let me know, I’m always interested to hear your views.
In my next post I’ll outline my goals for the blog and what I hope to achieve for 2011.
