We’ve been tossing around this query on the Habari mailing list that will extract some basic statistics from the blog.
I’ve run this query and published the output here:
| Year | Comment Count | Post Count | Average Post Length | Total Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | 9 | 1 | 4825.0000 | 4825 |
| 2007 | 867 | 128 | 3731.9375 | 477688 |
| 2006 | 967 | 312 | 2711.8013 | 846082 |
| 2005 | 3349 | 890 | 1339.7146 | 1192346 |
| 2004 | 1132 | 712 | 1477.3399 | 1051866 |
| 2003 | 154 | 301 | 2511.2093 | 755874 |
| 2002 | 5 | 52 | 1861.2308 | 96784 |
| 2001 | NULL | 1 | 6820.0000 | 6820 |
| 2000 | NULL | 3 | 14876.0000 | 44628 |
| 1999 | NULL | 189 | 2844.7619 | 537660 |
The stats for earlier years are off since much of that content wasn’t migrated over time, but there is at least one interesting trend here: I’m blogging less frequently, but writing more. And that is probably a good thing.
