Introduction
It's exactly a year since I started this blogging lark, so I thought it would be a good time to recap what I've done in the past 12 months.Statistics
Over the year, my blog has had:- 99 posts (this is the 99th). My goal of 2 updates per week almost worked, but there were periods when holidays or other events intervened.
- 30550 views.
- Visitors from 89 countries, including every single state from the USA. Some countries have a single visitor only, so a special message to these individuals: you're not alone as long as you have a shared interest with so many others around the world!
- 59 followers. My most sincere thanks to each and every one of you!
Here's a rough breakdown of the articles I've posted:
- 6 battle reports (Hordes of the Things)
- 8 battle reports (Full Thrust)
- 14 battle reports (All Things Zombie)
- 5 battle reports (The Rules with No Name)
- 5 battle reports (Adventures in the Lost Lands)
- 8 battle reports (other rulesets)
- 12 articles on designing and making cards and other game accessories
- 26 posts showing off or reviewing models
- 15 others (workbench updates, competition and award announcements, 20 questions &c)
Highlights and Lowlights
It's been both exhilarating and humbling to see how much (or how little!) interest has been generated by some articles. After a while, I thought I could predict which posts would gather a lot or a little of response - but on looking back I realise that my estimates weren't always close. There have been a few real surprises in there!Most popular post (by a long way):
- ATZ Event Cards: Finally! The most sincere form of praise is when people start to reference or to copy your work. Some of these random events made it into All Things Zombie: Final Fade Out and I'm always delighted when I see such events or ones from the card set appearing in other people's games!
Least popular post, at least when judged by lack of response. Tie between:
