This blog of mine was started in 2005 and is approaching 16 years of age. It will make a terrible driver when it gets its license.
Here are a few random stats as I contemplate where to next take this blog (of mine):
- 3,597 posts
- All-encompassing General category has 1,151 posts. The next most:
- 673 for Outdoor runs. One might say I obsessively document my runs. I say I’m thorough.
- 381 for Health. I’m sure this has been on an upward trend as I get older and closer to being a Futurama-style head in a jar
- 294 for Writing. So many dreams crushed. But some good laughs, too.
- 237 for Photography. This went up significantly in the last three years and bird pics started in January 2021 after I got a mirrorless camera.
- 220 for Creative. Like photography, most of these posts happened in the last few years, seeing a big uptick when I did Inktober in 2019 and 2020.
- 100 for Lists. It’s probably higher than this, I sometimes forget to use the Lists category. I liked lists before listicles became a thing. Also, listicle is a gross-sounding word.
- 26 comments (most very early on, when I asked people to test comments–they pretty much count as a vestigial feature at this point)
- 46 pages (only a handful are actually publicly viewable, but I’ve deleted very few once they’ve been made)
- 2,418 spam comments blocked (this is pretty low, considering how long the site has been up–even the spambots generally ignore this site)
- 61 posts in September 2020. I was posting my snack intake every day. I took in a few snacks.
- And so much more
In 2022 I plan on reworking the site design, which will make it magical or something. I expect it will still be mostly ignored, but that’s okay. As blogs come in and go out of fashion, creolened.com will be here, wearing its bell bottom jeans and not caring who (if anyone) looks.
