The people at WordPress created a year-end report to highlight the year on my blog.  Here are a few details from their report:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 43,000 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 16 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

The busiest day of the year was September 30th with 428 views. The most popular post that day was Experience The Supernatural.

Your most commented on post in 2014 was Help Me Pick A Book Cover Design
