Jetpack Annual Report 2014 – My Posting Patterns

I’ve really grown my blog in the last few years, with Reviews of books, films and technology seeming to make the big difference to increasing the number of visitors. But what keeps my visitors returning seems to be blogging about my personal life. Below is the result of a readers survey undertaken in 2014. It that shows that readers enjoy the current content I create and would like more of everything. It shows that 80% of readers surveyed said that they would like more personal blog posts:

Readers were asked: What sort of blog posts would you like to see more of?

I think these statistics are great. In the next year and beyond I hope to continue to grow my loyal blog readership.

The blog costs money to host and takes up a considerable chunk of my time. So if you have a product or service that you’d like to advertise on the blog, please don’t hesitate to Contact me. Your advert could reach 20,000+ unique visitors a year.

Blog soon,

New Years Eve – Cat Napping

By Amazon, Books & Authors, Happiness & Joy, PetsNo Comments

On New Years Eve, I spent the day and evening relaxing with Dylan and Russell, my bengal cats.

They enjoy anything warm and spent most of the evening cat napping on their new heated mat and the Sky Box, see photos below (click on images for full size):

While they napped, I read and watched TV. I got throughly absorbed into the world of James Frey in his book A Million Little Pieces. I’m about 100 pages in and will complete a review when I’ve finished reading it. If you want to know more about A Million Little Pieces by James Frey, click on the image below to visit Amazon:
