The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
I decided not to do the postaday challenge, choosing the postaweek challenge instead, so my stats are a lot
lower than many of you who opted for the daily challenge – and I take my hat off to you!
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 10,000 times in 2011.
(WP short-changed me there, because in actual fact, it was 11,104).
If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
Click here to see the complete report.
The following details are in the report, but I want to make a special mention of my five most active commenters just incase some of you don’t click through to the report.
These were your 5 most active commenters:

Here’s hoping 2012 is a better year for you.
Congratulations sweet Barb! Your blog is amazing and there are people out there that just don’t know what they are missing…hope they find your blog this year. Thank you for all the times you have visited my blog and commented. Hugs
Thank you so much for saying that about my blog, I really appreciated hearing it. It’s that kind of encouragement we need to spur us on doing what we’re doing, so thanks again, and for all your support throughout the year.
You have an awesome blog too, I love reading about Chancy and the crew, they all feel so real to me, but Chancy is the star of the show – he is so cute and opinionated, I love him! His antics always bring a smile to my face!
Congrats Barb! We all did it, made the one year mark. Day by Day or week by week what a sense of accomplishment. I love that you brought up the most commentors and I guess I have to learn how to do that. I do not know where to find that stat! LOL Happy New 2012! Best Friends with Pets in our lives… our connection. ♥Jackie
Yup, we made the one year mark Jackie, and it feels good to have achieved our goal!
That stat is in your review from WP – I just copied and pasted it.
Happy New Year Jackie, and I hope your hopes and dreams are fulfilled this year! x
Happy New Year Barb!
… and the best Happy New Year to you too Vix – may all your hopes and dreams come true this year!
I am just calling by to wish you very
happy New Year in 2012 and also to
congratulate you on such a fangtastic
year in 2011
I hope 2012 is even better Barb
Androgoth Xx
How sweet of you Andro, and so nice to see you here!
Thank you for your good wishes, and I hope 2012 fulfills all your hopes and dreams!
I haven’t visited you before, Barb, but I see how you are connecting two passions – people and animals – so I figure I’ve missed out. Thanks for commenting on my blog today so I could come over here and discover you.
I’m very grateful to bloggers who post weekly or sporadically. Posting for the sake of posting can turn a blog into an email format.
Hi Amy, thanks coming over here and checking me out! I hope I can entertain you with my blog.
Here’s to 2012 Barb! and another great blogging year!
Thanks PiP, I second your thoughts on another great blogging year!
Barb, my report numbers were off by a smidge as well, but it was fun to look at and compare to the previous year. BTW, I love the new look on the blog! Happy 2012!
I think WP collated the stats well before the end of the year Jeanne, because everybody’s stats seem to be inaccurate. But no matter, it’s still good to see where we are and what we’ve accomplished for the past year!
Happy New Year to you too!
Congratulations on such great stats. I’m looking forward to another year with you and your wonderful blog.
Thanks EC, that’s a lovely thing to say!
Based on the number of posts and stats they showed on mine I figure they pulled the data for sometime earlier in December rather than waiting until the end of the year.
I reckon that’s exactly what’s happened with most of us Bongo.
Congrats! That is a great report.
That is totally awesome Barb, CONGRATULATIONS!!
I have seen a couple of blogs with this report on them, but I have no idea where to find it for my blog. I’d be interested to see what my stats are. Can you tell me where you found it?
Happy New Year, I wish you as much success this year as you had last year!
Thanks Jodi.
I received an email notification from WP and you should have got one if you are subscribed to wordpress.com.
If you’re not subscribed to their emails, you might have to go through your settings to add yourself. Hope you sort it.
Happy New Year to you too Jodi, and much success!
Congrats Barb! Great stats. I very much looking forward to more of your posts in 2012.
Thanks Shell. I’m also looking forward to more of your inspiring and thought-provoking posts in 2012!
I am ashamed not to be among your top commenters, because I am definitely a very frequent visitor! I will try to at least be more mindful of at least clicking the “like” button – I don’t know why I keep forgetting to do so, but you are not the only one for which I fail to do so!
I love, especially, the subject of your blog. Thanks you so much for your words, inspiring, delightful, and wonderful! Thank you also for visiting and comenting at RFACM! Your attention means a great deal.
Have a wonder 2012 – full of happy surprises and the love of our wonderful animal friends.
You blew me away with your comment dear Paula – your words really touched me; (I’m blushing!) Hearing how you feel about my blog spurs me on to write more! I don’t know what to say except “thank you” from the bottom on my heart. You made my day! {{{hugs}}}
Happy New Year to you and yours!
pressed the button too soon..
i was also going to add that I love the new theme and the colours. It brightens up my day
Does it really brighten up your day? I was thinking of changing it, but now I might leave this one up a bit longer!
Thanks P!
Good to know that your stats are good and I congratulate you..well done
Thank you so much Patrecia!
Your blog has thrived because of YOU – if you weren’t interesting, we wouldn’t come back
Thanks for saying that Tilly, it means a lot.
Congrats Barb. Nice to know you. Have a great evening ahead!
Thank you aRVee, so glad we connected!
You’re welcome Barb
Congratulations dear friend, Happy New Year, and here’s to a great year of blogging!
Thank you Elizabeth, you are my #2 commenter, and I appreciate all your support over the past year. Without people like you, our blogs wouldn’t survive. The inter-action on WP is fantastic!
Way to go Barb! YOU rock! Happy New Year, Margie
Thank you dear Margie – and Happy New Year to you!
It’s been a pleasure reading each and every one of your posts, Barb ~ your focus on nature, pets, birds, kanga, roos, and Scotland is wonderful.
Glad you survived your move this year. Take advantage of those gorgeous walking trails along the water . . . and share your bounty with us!
Happy New Year!
Nancy, you are my #1 commenter! What can I say? Only “thank you” for all of your support last year, you rock!
I never thought to take photos of the beach when I’m walking there, but since you have given me a nudge, I will try to remember!
Good Morning Barb….I don’t believe the stats either…darn sure I didn’t miss more than a hundred days of posts!!!!
Yeah, they have got the stats wrong with a lot of us, from what I have been reading so far.
Have you posted your review yet granny? I haven’t had a notification yet; I’m dying to see your stats.
Hi barb19,
Good on you.
There was a couple of mistakes in mine also, number or posts, and not all the links work, so I also did a cut and paste, mine is already to go for tomorrow.
I can’t wait to read your stats Mags!
Wow! A year has passed with so much post and meaningful blogging friendship. A toast to a bountiful and inspiring 2012. Happy New Year!
Yes, there are a lot of meaningful posts out there IT, and new friendships established; this is a wonderful place to be!
Wowzer! That’s a lot! I thought it was so nice of them to send that out … totally unexpected! Love your blog …and the animals too.
Thank you for this year … I’m truly happy to have connected with you!
Hugs
Thanks Rebekah! It was a pleasant surprise that they did this for us.
Your blog is awesome and I’m so glad we connected and have become more than just blogging buddies; I have learned a lot from you my friend.
