2012 web stats for A LEGO a DAY

by | Jan 11, 2013 | About ALAD, Blogging | 4 comments

Let me start out by saying “Thank you!” to everyone who has visited A LEGO A Day.  This journey has been very rewarding for me in many ways.  It’s forced me to get back into LEGO.  To build, and to create.  It’s allowed me to connect with a lot of great people.  And I’ve learned a LOT about WordPress and the interwebs in general.

Are you a numbers geek like me?  If not, this post won’t really do much for you.  If you are, you might find it interesting.

A LEGO a Day officially launched on June 1, 2012*.  All the statistics I will present here are from 6/1/2012 – 12/31/2012

* the first recorded traffic came to A LEGO A Day on April 30, 2012.  I also had some hits here and there in May 2012.  I think most of that was me tinkering with things, and getting the site ready.  Some was legitimate traffic though.
