While my actually number of posts were down, site popularity increased. This was also the first full year that I’ve used flickr, so bandwidth was also decreased quite a bit. I’ve very happy about the almost 200% increase in comments. That means people are reacting to what I say…which is part of the point of having a blog (although not always the point).

Google was the most used search engine to reach my site.

Inktomi Slurp (Yahoo!’s crawler) was the most active bot on my site.
