I got this email in my inbox recently:
The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:
The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.
Crunchy numbers
In 2010, there were 178 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 271 posts. There were 112 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 238mb. That’s about 2 pictures per week.
The busiest day of the year was September 9th with 542 views. The most popular post that day was Quick (yet important) update with special guest blogger.
Where did they come from?
The top referring sites in 2010 were community.dooce.com, daycaredaze.wordpress.com, blogger.com, builtinbirthcontrol.com, and stumbleupon.com.
Some visitors came searching, mostly for if by yes, ifbyyes, my perfect future husband, if by yes perfect, and site:wordpress.com.

Well, that’s fun. I don’t think I got such an email from WordPress. I see you’ve posted another cutie of a picture that will count toward the 2011 stats! 🙂
They included that pic in the email! Kind of creepy. That’s Babby at around 4 weeks of age.
Receiving an e-mail with a picture of your own baby would be bizarre!
I didn’t get an e-mail like that either (not just one with a picture of babby, but one with stats in general). And I am totally in awe of your sort-of-relevant search terms. 🙂 I just checked mine for kicks, and the first mention of “emotional umbrella” or anything related was number 17. The top sixteen and most of the rest are all about hugging animals and stick people.
I’m saddened by the frequency of “future” with the term “perfect husband”. Do they only exist in the future tense?
