As I did for 2006 and 2007 (but not in 2008, it seems), here are the results of my 2009 blogging.

This wasn't a great year for me blogging wise in terms of the number of posts. I believe I write something every day, and with 365 taken away from 379, that leaves only 14 posts that double up on another one? Ouch.

Even my "own comment" ratio is as low as it's ever been (2002 excepted) as well. Words per post remains low. Comments remain above 200, but not by much.

So do I have any goals in 2010? Sure. I want to post more. I want to comment more (though not at a higher ratio, which means more comments in general). And I want longer, more in-depth posts as well.

I feel as though I can do it. I may be hurt in word count by the inclusion of more images (they may be worth a thousand word but not to an SQL "count(*)" query), but I'm not going to worry about that.

P.S. As always, Alex King has the simple scripts. They still work - though do yourself a favor and use the "LIKE" method for getting the posts in a year. It's simpler.
