Yesterday marked the third anniversary of my starting this
blog.
On the last two anniversaries I got curious about the stats.
You see, it’s hard to get in to Blogger without going through the stats, so you
are always aware of them. But something odd has happened. The stats tell me
that in October 2009, for instance, there were 409 page views. This is not
interesting, apart from the fact that I signed up with this site and started
blogging only in August 2011! So I’ve no idea why there are statistics like
this going back to July 2008! And only for certain months! Maybe my blog has
got mixed up with another one. So now I’m not at all sure how often this blog
has been visited (not all the 32,248 times the stats say, therefore). Maybe
some techie can advise … without getting too nerdy about it as I’d rather talks
about frocks than figures. If I was better at coping with technical stuff I’d
also sort out my blogroll better since I can’t see how to delete dead blogs or
even properly load some new ones like Hannah’s Illustrated Biography of a
Crossdresser, which I really like.
Anyway, I do know that by far the most popular posts are
those concerning my trips to Nottingham for the girls’ monthly Invasion (23 Jan
2012 and 18 Mar 2012). And why not, it’s a great event and there’s another
Invasion to write up about shortly. The TGirl Bar of 2013 (1 Dec 2013) is also
a popular read, as is the Nostalgia trip to Pink Punters (16 Dec 2012) and my
contribution to Our Different Journey (5 Jan 2013).
And I do know that 39 of you follow me publicly (though I
reckon some followers are now functionally dead). Hello there, and thanks for
reading. I have no plans to stop writing about my trans life yet and there are
plenty more posts coming up.
It’s been very up and down emotionally and in terms of
activity this past year and, sadly, my going out time is over probably for the
rest of 2014, though I am pleased that this horrid skin complaint is gradually
improving as a result of the care I’m taking, even though the solution is
rather drastic.
Best wishes to you all, and to my fellow bloggers.

Happy blogbirthday - is that even a word? :-) Lots of blogs come and go, so I think it's great to see the ones that keep on trucking. <3
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lynn, there's plenty of life in the old girl yet. And coming from someone who has been blogging for nearly ten years, that's a real compliment. And thanks for all your contributions over the years. Sue x
DeleteLynn is making up words.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday blog :)
:) Thanks, Becca. I should have made a birthday cake! And thanks for all your contributions, too. Sue x
DeleteSue, thanks for writing your blog ... 3 years gone by - it doesn't seem it. I'm absolutely useless with blogs - I follow yours and one other girl's! As for my own - I have been registered with wordpress for several years. (Yes, that is a full stop). As for the techy stuff, that sounds so like flickr stats and like you I much prefer frocks to figures!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, before I become too accustomed to typing on this keyboard (once I do start I can't stop), I'll just join the birthday wishes!
Thanks, Nikki. It's nice to know you follow, and thanks for your contributions. I think I prefer blogging to Flickring, but each to her own. And when frocks are as gorgeous as yours I can understand your preference. Sue x
DeleteHappy third (plus a month-or-so) anniversary! :-)
DeleteThanks, Lucy, and thanks for reading. Sue x
