I used to call it magic. A couple of years after I started blogging, I’ve got this amazing blog stats about my particular post on Mama Mary in one day. Most visitors are fellow Filipinos who just loved Mama Mary. We are a Marian country, we venerate her. I looked at the yearly summary of blog stats on Mary Mary alone from the year 2012 up to September 8, 2020. The lowest was when I didn’t blog about her birth but just mentioned it in passing last year because I blogged about my stay at the UST Hospital during Nissa’s operation. I’ve got the recap on my stats on my yearly posts about Mama Mary alone.
2011 – 1,214
2012 – 3,777
2013 – 4,131
2014 – 2,826
2015 – 5,400
2016 – 2,959
2017 – 2,481
2018 – 1,235
2019 – 805
2020 – 2,144
These figures added up to my total blog stats of 625,997 as of today. I am glad that those who are not even regular subscribers visit my blog. In an ordinary day, the stats has dwindled of course between 100 and 150. I don’t mind much how many subscribers I have because most of them are not even liking or commenting on my posts. Some have deleted their own blog sites but are still using WordPress to access the site.
It’s funny how when someone views and likes a blog post and he or she is quite new in your eyes, their blogs don’t exist anymore. I follow about 135 bloggers to date and I try to engage with them although some are really not active. Posting though once in a while is okay. Lately, I got in touch with some of them and just said hello. Some said they have stopped blogging for a while.
Sometimes I spend my time on Facebook looking and reading at the poems and shoutouts of several authors I follow. I linked their sites here on WordPress. There are two Irish photographers that I recently followed and and their photos about Ireland are simply amazing. They remind me of my dream of a place here in our country which is Batanes.
It might interest you to know that it is the only place in our country which is Covid-free. It is the northernmost province in the country, and also the smallest, both in population and land area.
