WordPress tells me how my blog did in the year that just ended.
Their report was just too colourful and too loaded with graphics -
the images and fireworks just made things too slow to load.
My poor laptop froze a few times and had to be just restarted
for me to just see the crunchy numbers, top posts, & top referrers.
But a report of the hard work past is just important ey? to go forward!
So, I am just reproducing it here in a bit plainer form -
for me, just as much as for anyone else who is interested
Thanks
Crunchy numbers

——————————————————————————–
P.S. That’s the report WordPress gave in a nutshell.
I have added some of my thoughts in [square brackets] ![]()
Thank you all for the support ![]()
Now I promise, this is the last post until I tick off something from the pending list. I couldn’t hold this one – for it was sent by WordPress
THANK YOU ALL








LOOOL That just makes me smiiiiiiiiiiiile!
Am all over your page, amn’t I?? lol …. awesome!
I like being numero uno!!! lol
hehe. i see that you beat everyone to it this time
lol… too scared that i might end up writing a post on it???!!!!!
and you are right. you are all over my report card
You are numéro un – that’s for sure
truly truly humbled by the attention you have given to my writings.
THANK YOU. May God bless your life
It’s my pleasure Amira!
I enjoy your blog so much that I dont mind spending hours on it! lol … It’s like swimming in the ocean, the Maldivian ocean.
Now, you just made the comment of the year!
and the year only started
And when you said report card, it reminded my of my school days back in Ethiopia lol … ah, those pink/green colored report cards, my life had depended on them to proceed from one grade to the other
lol… “report day” was the scariest day of life when I was in school.
parents are never happy with anything other than full marks…
and in my secondary grades I did very badly and OH MY GOD!!!!!!
what agony it was to listen to all the scolding
lol I’ve so many beautiful memories related to “report day” … Inshallah, I will write them down someday!
It sounds like you got an A+ on your report card! I wish you the best in 2012!
It looks like an A+ report card ey????
the last two months was really good. atleast now I have something to show for all the time I spent glued to this laptop
seriously, this has been a wonderful journey. have learnt new stuff, met new people, and it has had a calming effect on my disturbed brain
so , overall it is an A+
Thanks Belle for the continuous pat on the back
Amira….you are so sweet to add a number 6! Thank you. I’m so glad I met you too!
Have a great start to the year and good luck ticking off your list!
Judy, no way I can walk away without thanking you!!!!
You are really a very charming lady. Glad to have “met”
My offer [the offer I made LAST year] is still valid for this year too
Give a yell when you head your way over here
I also thought of posting my blog summary of 2011 from Word Press. Wish good thoughts for 2012!
maybe you should. i didn’t wanted the post to look the same as everyone else – because few people have taken the simple option of taking what WP offered.
I had fund meddling with mine
Happy thoughts to you too
Congratulations Girl!!
