My year in blogging – in color. 
The following is a cloud I created containing all the names of countries from which someone viewed my blog during the last year. Larger fonts represent nations with more numerous visits, smaller fonts represent those with less. Outside of the anticipated drop-ins from my own U.S.A, the bulk of visits originated, surprisingly, from Asia and the Pacific Rim. Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and India led the way. The greatest climbs came from the latter pair, both jumping from level five to level two. I extend a happy hello to our two newcomers (for this year, not all time) China and Nigeria.
Once again, I am humbled by the breadth of viewership on my tiny little slice of the internet.
As always, my thanks to every visitor, near and far.
The following is a cloud I created containing all the names of countries from which someone viewed my blog during the last year. Larger fonts represent nations with more numerous visits, smaller fonts represent those with less. Outside of the anticipated drop-ins from my own U.S.A, the bulk of visits originated from Northern Europe, Africa and Southern Asia. The greatest surprises came from Kenya and Mauritius. They generated the second and third most traffic on the site. Both nations were newcomers just last year. In that spirit, I extend a happy hello to all our newcomers for this year, including all four Scandanavian countries. The newbies (for this year, not all time) are as follows: Romania, Chile, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Lithuania, Trinidad and Tobago, Tanzania, Norway and Spain.
