WordPress stats can be weird.
At the moment, for today I have 29 views, 20 visitors, 43 likes, and 3 comments.
It seems strange to have more likes than views.
I’m guessing that means that some of the likes are through the reader or through people who get instant email messages of new posts.
Maybe there are reasons I don’t pay that much attention to my stats page…
My regular readers know that I only occasionally look at my stats, but WordPress has helpfully compiled an annual report for me to share with all of you.

All of you stats fans can read it! I would like to point out that, while it looks like I do not follow the blog of Ellen, one of my top commenters, I actually do. It isn’t a WordPress blog, though, so it isn’t showing up as followed on the list. I wouldn’t want anyone to think I was dissing Ellen’s lovely blog!
I was chuckling over the map. While it says that Canada and the UK are not far behind the US in blog visits, they really are far behind. US has 5,676, while Canada has 512 and the UK has 218. Interestingly, India has 218 also but didn’t show up in the caption.
Thank you all for your visits and comments in 2015! I hope I will write interesting posts to keep you coming back in 2016.
Peace and best wishes for the new year,
Joanne

Last night, I posted about getting a notification that I had reached a new record for “likes” in a day. I did get a few more likes before midnight to boost my total a bit further.
Just thought I’d let you know that my final tally and new daily record for likes is 59, shattering my old record of 48.
Thanks to all my readers and “likers”!

While watching the first Democratic Party debate, I am also perusing some blog posts and got a notification that today, Tuesday, October 13, 2015 is my best day for likes ever here at Top of JC’s Mind. Yay!!!
And there are a couple of hours left, so who knows if I may wind up with more than the 49 that has set the new record for me?
Thanks to all my visitors! I appreciate you stopping by!
OM has a thread open for bloggers to promote themselves, their book, their project, etc. Come one, come all!
I’m grateful to everyone who has been visiting Top of JC’s Mind over these past couple of weeks. Since I did my 500(ish) followers and SoCS posts, I have received many encouraging compliments, likes, and follows.
It is so heart-warming and affirming that I have been trying to get a post or reblog out every day, even if it is short, as this one will be. It’s a busy week, as we try to fit in appointments, family visits, shopping, packing, and move-in for T in the one week between the end of her summer internship and the start of the semester.
It’s finally starting to sink in that this is the last year of grad school for both E and T. The end of the journey of having one or both daughters in formal schooling which began in 1991.
Wow! That looks like such a long time when it is written down.
Maybe I should take a rest…
Thanks to the combination of my SoCS post and my 500(ish) follower post, which was re-blogged by OM of HarsH ReaLiTy, I set a new record for followers on August 16: eight, breaking my old record of seven.
Thanks, everyone! Now I am up to 510!
I think that everyone should read Tric’s blog! You can tell her I sent you. 😉
I was toying between that title or perhaps, ‘How not to increase traffic to your blog’. I’ve been blogging over two years and for the most part have enjoyed every day of it. However in the last month, due to life, holidays, my children annoying me and my husband expecting me to feed him, I’ve had less time to write, to read and to post here on wordpress. This has naturally meant my usually high stats, (not!) have nose dived, leading me to wonder, and wondering is not always a good thing!
For as I wondered I grew envious (and bitter). Why do I not have a following of thousands reading my blog? Am I not interesting? At times funny? At times inspirational? Ok perhaps not.
This week I read a couple of posts from bloggers who had big stats. They were kindly telling me, and everyone else, but I…

Today is my first blogaversary.
This is my 164th post, which includes some re-blogs from other bloggers and the occasional re-blog of one of my own posts. I’ve at least proved to myself that I can keep a blog going, resolving what was the biggest doubt in my mind at the start.
I have been happy to read and follow other blogs, especially those that, like Top of JC’s Mind, are eclectic in their choice of topics for posts. I am very grateful for Jason Cushman of HarsH ReaLiTy for his generosity via re-posts, meet and greet threads, guest author posts, and blogging advice posts. I also grateful for Linda Hill for her features, One-Liner Wednesdays and Stream of Consciousness Saturdays. I have connected to many blogs that I follow and have gained a good share of the followers that I have through following, reading, commenting, and meeting other bloggers on their blogs.
I am also grateful for my readers and my stalwart band of followers. I realize that some are more interested in certain kinds of posts, such as poetry. I’ve tried not to drown you all in anti-fracking commentary, which is a frequent topic in my daily writing. Believe me, if I cross-posted all my fracktivist activity, there would probably be at last 500 posts this year. Such is life on the NY/PA border! 😉
In the coming year, I’m hoping to learn to do more with images with my blog. I want to get some of our Hawai’i pictures uploaded and re-post my travel posts from May with photos. I also hope to continue to refine the look of my blog, either with a new theme or by tweaking the one I am using. I am very slow on the uptake with techie things, although I did finally get an image uploaded so that ,when I comment, there is my picture rather than a graphic. Score one for me! I know it will be good if I can use images on most posts so that the Facebook and WordPress shares are more striking. I just need to learn how to do it without it taking too much time and fiddling and without violating anyone’s copyright. The upshot is I’m much better with words than images!
Anyone have any advice/requests/well-wishes they would like to bestow? Just pop down to the comments and let me know!
JC
