The "Stats Monkey" is recovering from New Years

For those of who who were looking forward to my Year end Review (Part 2) please be patient as I should have it out later today….  For now I thought I would share a bit of a laff with you…

As you might know my host here (WordPress) gives you some stats that come complete in a posting for your blog.  Its nothing really that the regular stats that WordPress supplies to me does not really cover but they put it together nicely in a package and as I’m normally feeling lazy around this time of the year why not let them supply the posting to me… 

An example of this posting could be found on VE3HG’s blog or VE3EMB’s blog which are both on my blogroll…

So I waited a little bit then sent off an email to WordPress which readed like this:

>
> I noticed that the stats monkey gave some fantastic info to me last Jan 1st but
> nothing this year.  I also saw that he gave some info to other wordpress blogs
> this year…
>
> Will the stats monkey be sending something to me so I do my year end review for
> 2011 blog post…
>
> thanks
>
> bob of va3qv.wordpress.com

so in my email when I checked it this afternoon came the following:

Hi Bob,

We only include blogs that got more than 30 views in November, and more than 1000 views overall in the year

Thanks.

Karim – Happiness Engineer
Automattic | WordPress.com

to which I replied (after I finished laffing….)

Hi Karim and thanks for the reply….

 

So my blog stats or just over 71,000 visitors in 2011 and just over 6,100 visitors in November 2011 don’t count?????

 

So now I figure that the Stats Monkey might be overtired or this one just slipped though the cracks  so anyway…  I will work on my year end review (part 2) which should be out later today and then the detailed stats which would be part 3 will take a little longer to compile unless WordPress jumps in to help a bit…

 

I have been exceptionally pleased with the service supplied by my host (WordPress) in the past and I am sure this will get rectified in the near future but I find it slightly amusing when they told me the reason they were not providing the stats…
