WordPress automatically created a “2011 in Review” post summarizing some of this blog’s statistics in 2011. It turns out that the numbers reported in that summary are way off! They do not match the statistics provided by WordPress itself, which is weird to say the least. So I decided to put together some of those statistics for the “amusement” of my readers. In addition, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who visit, share, and write comments. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
