Ringing My Own Bell : 2010 in review

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. (Yippeee 😀 )

Crunchy numbers

About 3 million people visit the Taj Mahal every year. This blog was viewed about 30,000 times in 2010. If it were the Taj Mahal, it would take about 4 days for that many people to see it.

In 2010, there were 323 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 460 posts. There were 415 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 110mb. That’s about 1 pictures per day.

The busiest day of the year was November 3rd with 718 views. The most popular post that day was By The Water Cooler !!.

Where did they come from?

The top referring sites in 2010 were orangeicecandy.blogspot.com, blogger.com, google.co.in, Google Reader, and mysoul.wordpress.com.

Some visitors came searching, mostly for jeet, bitter gourd, new moon poster, momofrs, and bittergourd.

( I KNEW that silly Karela would be the end of me !!)

=================================

At the end of it all, I can’t help but think how vapid my blog really is!!

I mean, other blogs attract people with subjects which are funny, intelligent, thought-provoking, full-of-awareness and what not! And what do I offer?? A highly searched post on the karela and a flighty review of a not-so-captivating teen romance!!

Maybe, I need a makeover.

Except…..maybe I shouldn’t. Because then I might shift the focus away from the twins. And frankly, this blog is a diary of sorts ….to capture the days and lives of my little tykes. I may meander into other different topics at times, but I then get back to the twins 🙂

I’m not the one to spout wisdom on how to bring up children (Heck, I rely on YOU guys to help me out 😀 ) . So as long as you aren’t bored of the twins, I think I’m doing good 🙂

What say people? Does this blog interest you enough for me to keep it as it is??

It’s All in the Name

A pregnant Irish woman from Dublin gets in a car accident and falls into a deep coma.

Asleep for nearly 6 months, when she wakes up she sees that she is no longer pregnant and frantically asks the doctor about her baby.

The doctor replies, ‘Ma’am you had twins! a boy and a girl. Your brother from Cork came in and named them.’

The woman thinks to herself, ‘Oh No!!! not my brother… he’s an idiot!’

She asks the doctor, ‘Well, what’s the girl’s name?

‘Denise.’

‘Wow, that’s not a bad name, I like it! What’s the boy’s name?’

 ‘Denephew.’
