At the end of last year, I posted the 2008 blogging statistics for my site including the previous years. In keeping with that trend, below is the amended table which now includes 2009 as well.
| POSTS | AVG. POST LENGTH | TOTAL POST LENGTH | COMMENTS | AVG. COMMENTS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2004 | 1 | 478 | 487 | 0 | 0.0 |
| 2005 | 82 | 1949 | 159835 | 511 | 12.7 |
| 2006 | 103 | 1837 | 189259 | 865 | 4.5 |
| 2007 | 127 | 1977 | 251150 | 229 | 1.0 |
| 2008 | 68 | 1597 | 108623 | 78 | 0.6 |
| 2009 | 77 | 2114 | 162804 | 104 | 0.8 |
While I haven’t managed to get back to my peak of 2007 in the total number of posts, I’m happy that I’ve managed to increase it slightly over last year. In 2010, I’m going to try and increase it again to between seven and eight posts per month. While that doesn’t seem like that many, it can be difficult to write at least one post every four days – I challenge you to try it yourself.
For those that are interested in doing the same, I’ve made the blogging statistics SQL script available for you to use.
