Wordpress sent me this "blogalysis" for Joyful Molly 2010. My own stats give me different numbers, though - each review of the "Garrow's Law" episodes had more readers than my review of the Garrow-biography, and there are many posts which got far more hits than "Anne Lister". Hardly anybody came looking for the "Colossus of Rhodes", but tons of people were looking for "18th century navy uniforms". I guess that many visitors have blocked Wordpress cookies, and that's why the stats are flawed, but still, it's interesting to see what I've been up to last year.
I don't post fanfic or personal content on Wordpress and, the odd review about a period drama aside, no "fannish" content, either. So I wonder what the same analysis would look like for Joyful Molly on Livejournal - I can only guess, but I think "MOTEMS" would be very popular!
