Not sure when I did my last review. Might as well use today to get caught up, eh?
Numbers have been dropping since April. The month of the A-Z Challenge has been the best since. April was the last month to top 2,000 views.
June saw 25 posts bringing 1,470 views. While this is 137 fewer than May, this brings me to a total of 11,221 views for the year. I’m already 2,000 views ahead of last year’s total. Thank you everyone for coming back to read this little space.
There were 564 visitors, which is 64 fewer viewers than May. A huge thank you to those who read more than one post.
The like button was clicked 480 times. That’s 11 more times in June than in May. Keep clicking!
477 comments were left in June. That’s 71 extra comments from May. Y’all are too too kind and your discussions make me smile and motivate me to write more. All y’all are my muses.
Science Questions I Asked My Kids gained the most views for the month of June with 84. It was the first time I asked them science questions and it proved fairly popular. They did give some funny answers as to how our world works. A close second was Sunday Share Happiness with 71 views. I like when my Sunday Shares are at the top. I enjoy sharing what others have written. This one happened to be a tag post about what makes me happy and I got to share which bloggers I enjoy reading. Third was a fun facts post about a unique little pet.
Thank you to all of you for clicking the follow button. I didn’t just cross the 400 followers line, I leaped across it. I now have 438 followers. Scarlet Piper, Over the Line Show, and Wanderlust Jessica are my newest three followers. Thank you! I’m eyeing that 500 mark now. Perhaps I’ll get a little something something for the 500th? A guest post? A reblog? An interview highlight your space?

So things have slowed a bit here and there around the blog. I’m not too worried. As I have said before, my blog doesn’t operate on likes and views. It operates on discussion. Thanks for all it. I can’t wait to see what the second half of the year brings! (aka my birthday!)
Your welcome! and Congrats…I look ffd to being a part of your blog fam 😀

I found that June and July are usually low in numbers. People are away and outside more. Wait until August. Last year I had a massive spike in August…

Thanks Momma! I’m curious to see what the totals will be for July and August. Views will go back up when everyone gets back from vacation.

Keep it up! I think you should buy shots for your top commenters after you hit 500, but that’s just me.

I notice you occasionally skip a month 🙂 But I enjoy these posts. I don’t know why, I just do!

I don’t mean to skip months. I just keep putting it off until there’s no month left. I enjoy these posts, too.

I don’t schedule my reviews. I just stick them in when it’s a slow news day. But I’m thinking I’ll start putting it back in at the 1st of the month. It got more views that day then my normal posts have been getting!

OOO! I am a nerd for numbers! I went back to the post you did for me to see if I could glean some more cool information for you. I can see that you had 48 likes and 26 comments on that one, but I have no idea how to look at the views. I think of you and your sweet family often, and hope that you are having a great summer!

That post has 112 views. I haven’t had very many posts go over 100 in a day. Thanks! We are having a great summer so far. Both boys have started playing baseball and are learning tons. Crash got his first base hit last night, actually. Thanks for thinking of us and hope your summer is going just as well!

Glad you found it so helpful. My blog reviews (of my own blog’s stats) are always honest and frank. Glad you were able to randomly come across my blog. Hope you hang around and read a bit more. There are more interesting things (in my opinion) than my stats review 🙂

I am so sorry that I didn’t see it! I’m glad you like my writing style. It has certainly evolved over the years. I think I’ve honed it to where I like it too. Also, my Month in Reviews are fun to write. Thanks for stopping by and again, sorry I missed your comment.
