Birthday Week - Statistics

(Quick mouse update - Ed laid a trap, baited every day with peanut butter but not set, for a week. Every day Mr Mouse ate the butter. After a week, Ed set the trap. Next day the trap was untouched, peanut butter not eaten. Day after that, peanut butter gone, trap sprung, but no mouse. I think we're dealing with Pinky and The Brain)

As part of Bean-Sprouts birthday week, I've rounded up some of the statistics and numbers from the previous year:

• over 30,943 visitors have viewed the site this year (see the counter at the very bottom of the page for the latest figure)
  


• They left 1,428 comments


• I wrote 336 posts


• This blog is ranked 74 out of 5000 in the Brit Blog charts (top 1.5%)


• It is ranked 39,305 out of 77 million by Technorati (top 0.5%)


• 117 blogs link to this one

This is all just unabashed showing off, because I'm really pleased with how this blog has grown in just one year. I hope I can continue to write regular interesting content for the next twelve months, and I hope you'll all keep reading and commenting.
