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 4,800,000 times in 2012. If it were Liechtenstein, it would take about 87 years for that many people to see it. Your blog had more visits than a small country in Europe!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by in 2012!

No joke! Total 2011 views were 580,000, so it’s pretty giant increase.
heh. my blog is so tiny they had to compare it to the number of people who climb everest in order to make my visit count sound impressive :). But the report was still pretty neat when i got it.
Congrats on writing such an amazing blog, Captain (and friends)! And mega-congrats and thanks for being so widely read and keeping such a safe and welcoming comment space. It must take a huge amount of work, and you should know that it is appreciated.
That is so cool! Do they do that for every blog?
