The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for my blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 5,300 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 9 years to get that many views.

(I’m especially impressed that people have apparently read my blog in exciting places like Namibia!)

I did not make it into the top reply group (>5) but have unofficial status and will work on official status in >2012 <2014 (I am not superstitious) so 2013. After a challenging ending to 2012, 2013 should be smooth sailing.
