Blog 2008 year in review

In most sports, numbers are used to analyze everything from a baseball batters performance to the percentage of free throws a basketball player makes. In businesses, managers will use numbers to analyze their profitability as well as well as to identify profitable products and markets. I have likewise been trying to balance what I am interested in with what the people that come to my blog like to see.

To that end, earlier this year, I implemented Google Analytics to track statistics on my visitors. Don't worry I do not track any personal information about anyone stopping by here (I don't even think I can) but rather just information about how many people, what part of the country or world where they are logged in. So how did I do for 2008?

Since I only started blogging here in December, things are still getting rolling and 2009 promises to be a great year with a lot of exciting photos and stories to share. These statistics also include my main web page as well as the blog.

The main goal of this blog was initially to have a place to share things I learn about photography, some of my favorite photos and to have a place to discuss any random photographic topic that strikes my interest.

It has been fun watching the statistics here. The one I enjoy looking at most is the countries and states visited. I had visitors from 22 states in December of 2008. It was also fun to see visitors from all over the world. I hope that some of them find something interesting or entertaining and keep coming back from time to time.

Now here is the audience participation part. If you are reading this, please take a minute and post at least a short comment to let me know where you are. Also, feel free to post a comment to any blog entry you like or dislike and let me know what you like or don't like about it. You can also leave comments and rate individual photos in the photo galleries.

Thanks for stopping by and i hope to see you again soon.
