2012 in review
December 30, 2012
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
About 55,000 tourists visit Liechtenstein every year. This blog was viewed about 190,000 times in 2012. If it were Liechtenstein, it would take about 3 years for that many people to see it. Your blog had more visits than a small country in Europe!
Breaking the 500,000 barrier

I found it ironic that the 500,000 barrier was broken on Christmas Day. Thank you for the 500,000 viewers over the past three years.
Looking back on 2011 Blogging
December 28, 2011
By Rev Ed Hird
When Chip MacGregor encouraged me to set up my own blog in June 2009, I had no idea that 306,000 people would find their way to this blog. Thank you for coming to visit. My blog was officially started in August 2009, with 14,439 people visiting by the end of December 2009. In the second year of 2010, 73,876 people came to visit the blog. As of the third year of 2011, as December is wrapping up, 217,622 people have paid a visit.
Most of my 372 blog articles are reposted from articles that I originally wrote over the past 24 years for the Deep Cove Crier and the North Shore News. My peak month so far has been November 2011 when 25,856 people came for a visit. Many of these visitors appear to be students researching for school assignments. God is so creative in the ways that he is reaching the emerging generation, who may have never been to church. Please pray with me that God will continue to use this blog to reach young people who may know little or nothing about the good news of Jesus Christ.
My hunch is that over half a million people cumulatively will have visited this blog by sometime in 2012. May God touch these half a million people with abundant lasting life, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
200,000 visitors…
July 13, 2011
Within the next 24 or so hours, we will have had 200,000 visitors to this blog (100,000 new visitors since Jan 2011 http://edhird.wordpress.com
Through your dialing in today, you will help us reach that number of people .
This blog started on August 2009, less than two years ago. The next goal will be to have a total of 500,000 visitors which we will hopefully see within the next two years.
