This post, animation and all, comes courtesy of WordPress — and a good thing, too. Joe and I arrived home last night after a 21-hour drive from Florida, stayed up even later to watch the ball drop in Times Square, and are now trying to organize our lives for the upcoming work week. Words are definitely not at the top of the to-do list. Nap, yes. Words, no.
So my thanks and gratitude to all of you for making 2012 extra special. Happy 2013!
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
4,329 films were submitted to the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. This blog had 39,000 views in 2012. If each view were a film, this blog would power 9 Film Festivals

Hi Kevin, that WordPress review is so neat! I am afraid Blogspot has nothing like that, we have to make our own reviews based on the statistics. I wish you and yours a very Happy New Year, and hope for lots of blogging for 2013

Hi Helene. I was first exposed to the WP monkeys last year. I think it’s a great way to illustrate the stats — and it gives me some breathing room and recuperating time for January 1.
Be well in 2013!

Happy New Year to you, as well. WP does a very cool job at illustrating stats — and the animation was a fun addition.

I’m glad you and Joe arrived home safely, Kevin. Happy New Year to you both. Oh, those well deserved stats are quite impressive.

Personally, I liked the animated fireworks.
Happy New Year to you, as well — and days and days of daylilies ahead!

Happy New Year! This time of year is always crazy, but have no fear — I am in the process of writing a novella as an acceptance for your nomination.

LOL! Well I cannot wait.
