For each of the five years I have been blogging, I have posted a fairly geeky post about my progress and numbers. It’s something I look forward to, and it helps me get an idea of what the next year might look like.

I did VERY well this year on posts, almost doubling my total last year. I tried to blog each week about my weight loss journey, but that still leaves a lot of art and life posts
The users have picked back up after dropping last year, and the analytics reports that Facebook is my main source of engagement (no surprise there.)
Data Trends
I’m going to go light here this year. I have a lot of data that I find fascinating, but I’m not sure how readable it is!
