You may or may not be interested in statistics about this blog. I find it interesting. In case you’re wondering, I don’t go through and count these things. This information is easily accessible to me. Here are some figures:
- The blog has been running for about 70 months.
- There have been 1,467 posts. That’s about 21 per month.
- There have been 9,009 comments.That’s about 129 per month (a lot!).
- That comes to about 6 comments per post on average, and about 4 per day.
- February is on average the month with most posts (27). August is second (26). December and May tie for third (25). January is fourth (24). April is fifth (23). See table below.
- October and November are typically the months with the least amount of posts (16). See table below.
- The people who have made the most posts are: Gary (474), Audrey (244), Janice (128), Seth (109), Micah (100), and these account for 72% of the total. Some people participate more through comments, but I don’t have that information readily accessible.
- The year with the greatest number of posts was the first year. Since then the monthly average of posts in a given year has generally gone down. See table below.
Here is a table showing the number of posts:

Looks like a fun graphing assignment for school! 🙂
Very interesting–I always like statistics. And I’m certainly one who participates more through comments, as I’m doing right now 🙂
Now I just wonder why we would have so many posts in August! HA HA!
Fascinating! I like the graph, very much.
