My Blog’s First Birthday

I’ve just finished the first year of my adventure in ‘personal publishing’ with this blog, and to celebrate I’m going to share a bunch of ComfortZone stats with you (and show you a picture of me on my real first birthday!).

This sure has been a good creative outlet for me. I have enjoyed the interactions and comments I’ve gotten from people, and I have learned a ton from fiddling with it. Here are some ComfortZone stats from Google Analytics:

Content:

Visitors:

  • Unique visitors: 920
  • Record number of visitors in one day: 58
    (Thanks to Sherry for putting a link in the church newsletter!)
  • Total visits: 3,059
  • Visitors have come from 37 different countries and 43 different states

Other (I think it’s interesting!):

  • Browsers: 49% of you use Firefox, 34% of you use Internet Explorer, and 17% use Safari
  • Operating systems: 41% of you are on Macs, and 59% of you are on PCs
  • Traffic Sources: Referring sites: 58%, direct traffic: 29%, and search engines: 13%
  • Top referring sites: mauriandsherry.com (98), greggsgambles.com (88), and janellwoods.blogspot.com (77) — Thanks!

My goals for the next year are to keep learning CSS, keep writing, designing and drawing, and keep having fun with it.

Celebrate this season too

I have to admit, fall is not my favorite season…

but today I was reminded that it does have much to enjoy and appreciate.

The sight of the sun shining on our Big Leaf Maple this afternoon brought me a new appreciation…

…and then there is leaf raking — which I actually do enjoy.

But I am glad it is only once a year.
