Once upon a time, I think I got a year-end summary from WordPress that compared how many people visited the site to various buildings or transportation modes, like trains. You could share it to your blog.
I assumed that WordPress sent us an email with a link to our personal information, although I didn’t remember. I have been on the lookout, though.
I finally searched for my 2015 summary and realized that I had the info well before now. I started searching and found out that, unfortunately, WordPress is not sending out year-end summaries for 2016.
As a (less fancy and engaging) substitute, I am taking a (rare) look at my stats page to share a bit.
In 2016, Top of JC’s Mind had 226 posts, which garnered 7,507 views from 3,578 visitors from 62 countries. (Or thereabouts, given that people who read my blog via email don’t show up in my stats.) The United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada were the top three countries.
The top posts were:
Shock
crying does not help dry eyes
Poem: Crowning Glory
Feeling the Bern in Binghamton
the legacy of Father James
April 8
It’s a fairly eclectic list, albeit a bit heavy on the personal trauma scale, but that was the kind of year that 2016 was.
I want to thank everyone reading this post and everyone who visited Top of JC’s Mind in 2016.
And thank you to Linda for once again motivating me to get off to a good, energetic start in January with Just Jot It January. No promises, but I’ve made every day so far…

I found your blog via John Hilton, so “hi!” This post reminds me that I didn’t get a year-end summary from WP. What the heck?! Seems downright anti-social of them to not send me one. Although I like how you’ve made your own. That’ll show them. Good idea.

Hi, Ally, and thanks for visiting and commenting. Apparently, WP did not have very good automation for preparing the year-end reports, so they didn’t want to spend all the zillions of hours it would take. They are hoping to have a replacement in place for the end of 2017, but I agree it is a bummer not to have it this year.
