Two Year Blogiversary
Two years ago we rolled out the welcome mat for this blog. And here we are 80 posts later! On last year’s blogiversary I shared 5 Things About Our Blog. Today I want to share some numbers and stats.
If you run any kind of website or blog, you’re probably familiar with a tool called Google Analytics. This allows a website manager to monitor dozens of data points that can be helpful toward optimizing the website for visitors.
I thought I’d take this opportunity to allow readers to look under the hood a bit to see what posts are most popular along with some additional data.
