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 Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 92,000 times in 2010. If it were an exhibit at The Louvre Museum, it would take 4 days for that many people to see it.

In 2010, there were 234 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 922 posts. There were 11 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 3mb. That’s about a picture per month.

The busiest day of the year was July 9th with 585 views. The most popular post that day was Tanabata: The Star Festival.

Where did they come from?

The top referring sites in 2010 were groups.google.com, news.searchina.ne.jp, google.com, twitter.com, and Google Reader.

Some visitors came searching, mostly for yakudoshi, japanese religion, chicken sashimi, ohigan, and fudo myoo.
