2007 Year-end stats

There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, and statistics. Here are my lies for the year. I do think that these statistics shed some light and truth on what were some of the more interesting and engaging posts of the year. It also gives me a chance to say thanks to the websites sending traffic over here and to the organizations whose employees read this blog.

Wow – the #2 referring site. I am so proud. My stats as of my 6 months of blogging: 1,142 visits, 590 uniques. Google, Acronym and you are my top referring sites. My generational issues post was my top post.

Happy New Year!

I SO hope this means that other people in my office are reading your blog… and if you are, my NACHRI colleagues, start commenting!

Of course, there is the distinct possibility that I spend way too much time reading your blog. But it is worth it…

@Matt – Actually Google is my #1 referring site, but I excluded all search engines and feed readers from my referring site stat.

@Kristi – Thanks for your long time patronage of my blog!
