The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
4,329 films were submitted to the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. This blog had 36,000 views in 2012. If each view were a film, this blog would power 8 Film Festivals








A scary thought having those two characters at the top of your frequent commenters list. Congrats Elyse … and all the best for 2013! Be safe tonight … and Happy New Year.
I know — I should not be broadcasting my shame
.
Hope it doesn’t scare readers away.
Woohoo!! I came in third!!
That’s cause while you were on leave I did a couple of gun control posts. You would have been first.
Oh, definitely. I’m sorry I missed that.
I can see the tears streaming down the mask.
I just had the ducts built in this year. It was a sad, sad year.
Good for you. Otherwise your face gets all mushy. And storm troopers cannot be mushy.
Right. And then my face gets all soggy and stuph. It’s a mess all the way around.
I hate crying in general. It never makes me feel better. It makes me stuffy and wet. I avoid it whenever possible.
Yeah, me too. It’s not too manly, either. I gotta rep to maintain you know.
I think you can take the “OUCH!” off your numbers. Congratulations on your impressive year. Happy New Year!
But it still hurts when you hit me, Georgette!
Actually I think I need a whole revamp. But I can never figure out the widgets!
Happy New Year to you too!
Looks like you had a great year, Elyse!
And reading your stuff made mine better too. Keep on going in 2013!
(And have a good new year!!)
We all do seem to make each other better — like all good friends do!
Happy New Year to you, Guap! But this year keep your clothes on.
Why start now?
Because you are a fine upstanding citizen. A married man. A grown up.
OK, go ahead and take it off. But you must promise to write about it when you do!
Happy New Year, Elyse. Have a great 2013. I’ll see you on WordPress.
Thanks, Sabra. Happy New Year to you, too!
Hi,
Congrats.
It is great to receive these stats at the end of the year.
It is New Years Day here (2am) Happy New Year.
I wish you, your family & friends a wonderfully joyous and healthy, safe, fun Happy New Year….See you right back here next year….Namaste.
Happy New Year to you, too.
Looking forward to hanging out with you in the ‘sphere in ’13!
That we will do. Ciao Bella.
Congrats on your sweep of next year’s Cannes. Wait…is that what the stats mean? Mine said my site views would power 80,000 butt plugs in Christian Grey’s red room of pain.
Your is way more topical for your blog, though. I don’t think I’ve ever written about a movie. Although I have been to Cannes (sans movie stars).
Happy New Year, S7!
I had a really cute, pithy comment written and in my holiday haze (I’m exhausted) hit the wrong button which erased my comment! Aaugh!!
Congrats on your wonderful stats. (I can’t believe that Frank beat me as the most frequent commenter–I shall have to up my game in 2013.) As to changing some of your formatting, I can’t figure out the widgets more than I have either. Frank tried to help me download a video and I thoroughly flunked his tutorial. Have a very happy new year from our house to your house!
Thanks Eleanor, and the same to you. We should try to do a DC area blogger lunch one of these days!
“Macy’s fucking sale”? Really? That’s awesome.
Isn’t that amazing? I had forgotten that one!
Happy NewYear, Fork!
Clearly this is how Queens roll, with greatness. Your days of peasantry are officially over your Highness!
Thank you. No need to kneel!
Happy New Year, Tops! May it be a happy healthy one for you.
Nice stats. Happy 2013.
Well done. I had no idea Macy’s had that particular facility.
I had totally forgotten about that one! Hilarious. I would brave the crowds to go to a fucking sale. Normaly I just say “Fuck No!”
Mrs GOF might not be terribly pleased if she discovered I’d been to a few fucking sales while she was away.
!! As long as you didn’t buy her replacement, you’re probably safe!
Congratulations on a good year of blogging. Happy New Year!
Thanks, YS. It’s been fun hanging out with you.
Very impressive, my friend!
Thanks, Lorna!
Very well done, even if you have two seriously disturbed characters as your numbers one and two commenters. I’m gonna have to see if I can’t overcome that slight, 13-comment discrepancy so we can get them in the PROPER order!
Yeah, I know, I’m behind in things. I’ll get my stats posted soon – turnabout IS fair play, after all.
You have, according to today’s stats, taken the lead. Frank is falling down in his duties.
Al-RIGHT, I’m kicking the old man’s … (Ahem) Er .. um .. I mean, ya gotta cut Frank a little slack, he’s been a bit overwhelmed with his new celebrity status. (Snickers, goes off mumbling softly) “I’m number one! I’m number one!”
Actually he commented a zillion times on the post I put up last night. But I am not encouraging this competition by looking at stats….
Oh, don’t worry, I could NEVER compete with the likes of Frank. (Okay, now I cut this, then I can paste it into another box, and another, and another….. wait, is this thing still on? @#$&%!)
