The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
WordPress emailed me a very nice summary of my blog stats for 2012. Actually, they emailed me twice because at the start of 2012 I self-hosted then I moved to WordPress when I realised that would be much cheaper and take a lot less effort. The only downside being that I had to give up Google Analytics. Below is a bit of a summary, I’ve tried to combine the numbers from both sides of the fence to give a more accurate picture:
4,329 films were submitted to the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. This blog had 103,000 views in 2012. If each view were a film, this blog would power 24 Film Festivals.In 2012, there were 36 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 492 posts.
These are the posts that got the most views in 2012.
