I received this funky little Annual Report today from WordPress. Perfect timing! I’ll share my year of blogging with my blogging friends. After all, YOU helped make this blog what it is! Thank you so much. I’m looking forward to sharing and learning much more in 2016.

This blog was viewed about 2,900 times in 2015. There were 67 pictures uploaded. The busiest day of the year was June 28th with 53 views. The most popular post I wrote was “Reflections from the All Write Institute — #3.” (You can review that post here. It is one of my favorites, too!) My most-viewed posts came after workshops and conferences, All Write Institute and NCTE 2015. I was fortunate to attend both and I learned so much and met so many people (and fell in love all over again with my old pals).

The best day of the week to see a new post here is Tuesday. Of course! That’s “Slice of Life” day, where I post with Two Writing Teachers blog. (Check it out here.) This blog won the BEST GROUP BLOG for teachers in 2015, and I’m so happy to be a part of their world! Thank you, ladies! You rock my blogging world, that’s for sure.

The top referring sites in 2015 were: Twitter.com, Linkis.com, Facebook.com, Bookwhisperer.com (Thanks, Donalyn!), and discoveredjewels.blogspot.com (Thank you, Ms. Kelly!). People from 78 countries in all visited my site. Wow! My most active commenters were friends from Two Writing Teachers blogs. I highly recommend their blogs, as well: elsietrieswriting (lcinmo.wordpress.com), Tara Smith (ateachinglifedotcom.wordpress.com), Ramona (pleasuresfromthepage.blogspot.com), and To Read To Write To Be (jarhartz.wordpress.com).

What a wonderful year!
