I like lists. And I like numbers. So finding this WordPress plug-in that would count all the numbers for my blog and then list them out was like finding technical candy for me. Indulge me if you will. Here’s how the roughly first five years of the blog have gone. It’s interesting to note how writing more on Ooh Shemo in 2010 affected how much I wrote here (the Ooh Shemo stats).
The number of posts in each month:

Dang it. Mom Giles edged me out this year. Clearly I need to step up my game.
That’s what Mom’s are for
@AmandaStretch: I don’t think it should count for you to artificially boost your score by talking about artificially boosting your score.
1 – I was legitimately commenting on the content of this blog post, so it counts. If I were commenting on a completely different post, I would agree with you.
2 – You’re just jealous, because you haven’t even broken into the top 3 yet.
But you get to see her everyday, and I do not, so I guess that’s a win for you.
I think there is plenty of room to go around for everyone to comment. And I’m so glad you all do. It took over 2.5 years before the number of comments was above the number of posts. So yea ya-all!!
