A blog year in review

Administering Grace was launched August 18, 2005, just over a year ago and I thought you'd enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at the behind-the-scenes blog.

I've posted 133 entries in the past year.
The two entries that generated the post comments were:
Grace Church Video Phone System on March 2
The Sword-Wielding Pastor on March 6

An average of 14 people check the blog each day, a blog-record 51 checked it on January 9. If I were all about numbers I'd keep posting on topics like last Friday's because that generated a lot more hits that usual - 46 today as compared with 20 hits last Monday.

An average of 94 people check the blog on a weekly basis with a monthly average of 378.

The highest percentage of readers visit the blog between 9 and 10 a.m. and Monday is the day when people read the most.

While read predominantly by people in the United States, the blog has attracted readers from Canada, The Netherlands, Japan, India, The Russian Federation, Philippines, France and Australia.

Inspite of my recommendation, the vast majority of the readers access the blog through Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Through all of this, hopefully those who are connected with Grace Church on a regular basis have gained a behind-the-scenes insight into why we do some of the things we do at Grace and learned a little bit more about the Business Manager.
