Another year down, and another year of possibility has just begun. It’s weird to think that this blog began “way back” in 2010, and even weirder to receive an email from Word Press giving me the low down on my site stats “for 2010.” My blog only saw two months of 2010. Don’t they know it was only yesterday when I endured a difficult birthing process, full of ice chips, epidurals, and breathing exercises, to produce Miracle on 32nd Street?!?
Still, it is pretty neat to see some analyzed site statistics, even though my blog’s just over 2 months old. And, as you, my readers, are the responsible ones for these stats, I thought it only proper to share them with you. You are the people responsible for turning this little “project” into a fully blown blog, so I bow down to you, ever so humbly.
It’s interesting to note which posts were the top attention grabbers (maybe they had sequins or glitter or aluminum foil on them to snatch your focus…who knows?). Perhaps you saw some of those posts yourself, and perhaps they passed you by. At any rate, have a look at “what you did,” and know that I’m appreciative of each and every one of you.
In the meantime, while you’re feasting on this little appetizer of sorts, I will be readying my final post centered around RACs and my holiday challenge, which ended on New Year’s Day. Fear not, though! Miracle on 32nd Street will still remain open for business! The RAC Challenge, however, will take a hiatus until next November, when it shall return for it’s second run.
Enjoy the analysis work done by the folks at Word Press, and I’ll get moving on my own analysis of the past two months and my RAC Challenge. Thank you all for a wonderful (albeit brief) 2010! I am all a-twitter with what’s to come in the New Year!

I love how they did such a cool thing with the stats, views, and searches. Thank you for sharing with us. I’d say you did VERY WELL for only two months!! I’m happy for you and know you will only find more success in your future. 🙂
My most found in searches was lumps, itchy bumps, and red festering welps (emphasis mine). I wrote about having plate-size hives. Isn’t that weird? Out of all my stuff THAT is the most viewed from searches. LOL.

Well, at least your blog us famous for something searchable! That’s the good news! Maybe you could sell skin cream on your blog, too?
Thanks for your well-wishes for the new year! It continually means a lot!
