[Happy New Year! As you can see, I’ve switched to a completely different blog theme and layout, a fresh start for a new season, with bigger easier-to-read text and far less clutter on the page, not to mention I finally have a header image now! I hope you like the redesign and bear with me while I iron out the kinks and final colours etc. A similar change has been made to my personal blog to keep a common thread between my sites.
This is quite self-indulgent, apologies for that. The following stats were sent to me as an email by WordPress, it offered the option to publish it and I thought.. why not? I’m not one to crow but I’m really pleased with how the site grew in visitors over the past year, and I also thought you might be interested in the most popular posts in 2010. Thanks to everyone who stopped by in 2010 and I hope you’re interested enough to return! I have a few other little projects to finish off and then I’ll be back to normal blogging. Here is the unedited email.]

The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:
The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.
Crunchy numbers
The average container ship can carry about 4,500 containers. This blog was viewed about 16,000 times in 2010. If each view were a shipping container, your blog would have filled about 4 fully loaded ships.
In 2010, there were 137 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 361 posts. There were 17 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 3mb. That’s about a picture per month.
The busiest day of the year was May 15th with 181 views. The most popular post that day was 38th ADAC Nurburgring 24 Hours.
Where did they come from?
The top referring sites in 2010 were sidepodcast.com, twitter.com, toomuchracing.blogspot.com, vivaf1.com, and google.co.uk.
Some visitors came searching, mostly for too much racing, 2010 alms google calendar, izod indycar, goodwood 2010, and indycar google calendar.

Very Interesting stuff, you must be chuffed with what you’ve achieved. I’m a bit surprised that the TMR game isn’t listed as one of your top posts, let’s see if we can rectify that this year, I can’t wait for it to return.

Thanks, glad you like it. I’m pleased people keep coming back and really quite amazed. 🙂 To be honest I don’t really want a game post in the top list, I don’t think they are a proper reflection of the site. Too often last year the site became more about the game than about the blogging and that’s not how I want it to be.

Like the new look… very clean.
Happy New Year by the way.
Hopefully I can play the game this year instead of giving Jackie bad advice.

Thanks, hope you do. 🙂
The sidebar and comments section are untidy, I plan to work on that.
