Hedley Park Blog: 2010 in review
As you may know 2010 was Hedley Park’s 20th Anniversary Year, and as such we thought we’d start a few new traditions to carry us through the next 20!
The blog was one of the new ideas and we are so glad that it became as popular as it did. Daily I am delighted at how many visitors we get and the response of parents and students, past & present to what we are doing and how we are documenting that. So a big thank you from our blog mistress as your enthusiasm via comments and visits makes this such a worthwhile endeavour.
Crunchy numbers
Here are a few statistical infobites that WordPress captured regarding the visitors to our blog!
A Boeing 747-400 passenger jet can hold 416 passengers. This blog was viewed about 2,300 times in 2010. That’s about 5 and half 747 jets of our blog visitors!
In 2010, there were 16 new posts, not bad considering we began in September! That works out at a post a week, over the 4 months Sept-Dec. There were 152 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 150mb. That’s about 9 pictures per week.
The busiest day of the year was September 20th with 94 views. The most popular post that day was The Pink Tower and The Post Office.
Where did they come from?
Our visitors are from all over the world, USA, UK, Saudi and India, all of which reflects the international heritage of our student body. But of course the biggest visitor group come from all over Ireland. This is so encouraging to us and we love to see all your friends, and family visiting. Let them know we’d love to read any comments they may have, or just if they’d like to say hi. 🙂
