2014 Year-End Numbers and Open Thread

We've done it before and we're doing it again! We've got a lot of data generated on readership and page views, but they're mostly only visible from the back end, so we've collected some screencaps and some numbers crunched for those of you who wonder, hey, just how many people are reading this thing

Thank you for sharing your user experience with us! ...That sounds so disgustingly corporate, but honestly, we know there must be a bunch of different ways people go about devouring each issue, but we don't hear about most of them. So perspective is nice

Oh, that kind of 'Save For Later' thing is an interesting idea, definitely one we've never thought about before. I know it's not possible to do anything to modify LJ's existing structure, and I'd think that adding stories to your LJ memories is sort of assigning them greater permanent status than just 'oh yeah, remind me to look at that later'. But maybe there's a Wordpress plugin that would allow for bookmarking like that, hmm

There are user accounts on our website -- you can see your options for setting one up here, and it doesn't take having a Wordpress account. But plugins seem more geared toward site owners than to individual users. Still, definitely worth keeping an eye out for, even if it's just a simple save-for-later thing. All good thoughts to ponder! Thanks again!
