How Many Posts? Where From? What Have I Got Planned?

I've just been looking at the number of posts each year since 2010. At that time (2010) this was a backup blog for the WordPress CBO because the number of views each day was so high that WP kept going down. There were also other problems and Blogger seemed far easier to use in the long run.

One problem is that Blogger continuously shifts where it operates from. I was once asked what my job was as I seemed to travel and post from all over the world. I was an agent of U.N.C.L.E.!  I checked and found that the blog url identified the server as Italy, France, Germany....well everywhere really.  This causes some problems as some countries block others or use systems that will block others.  Also Blogger blocks views from various countries for their own reasons -the Peoples Republic of China for one.

Here are the years and post totals

 2024 (so far)  347 posts

2023                731 posts

2022                495

2021                747

2020                993 -apparently I stopped a lot of people going insane in lockdown!

2019               865

2018               765

2017               979

2016               1188

2015               1271

2014               1167

2013               443  (this was a back-up blog back then)

2012               541

2011               227

2010              33

And yet, with all of those posts garnering over 10 million views comments and feedback are rarer than a solar eclipse (if I had thought ahead and had that reference a few weeks ago it would have been topical!).  Even the mega posts that took a few days to put together and had thousands of words and in some cases a hundred or more images -on topics not handled before on the net....virtual silence.   

It is one reason why I stopped doing the mega posts even though the ones I posted are still getting lots of views.  Go figure.  

Reviews I noticed are still being read years after posting such as Titan Books The Secret Service - Kingsman was posted in 2014 and as you can see (to the right) it is still being checked out a I've been told people are still buying based on CBO reviews. Checking the dashboard every so often I look at what posts are being read and in the last week there were five that I just asked "What the heck are those?" but they went back to 2013, 2016 and so on (but I cannot remember them!).  

How many posts for 2024? Who knows because I review whatever I receive and I post what I like -comics, action figures, music -why not? My blog and enough people check the stuff out -68,013 last month alone. 

So...we'll see.
