Bye Bye 2013

As another year draws to an end, it is indeed delightful to hope for pleasant surprises and fulfilling revelations in the brand new year that is round the corner. 2013 has been a good year for Woodooz. Though I would have loved to have 1 post in a week, work in all its glory took away most of the time that I would have otherwise reserved for  DIY.

As is customary, I wanted to look back at some of the key high-points of 2013. But before that, here’s some of the important statistics.  Statistics, though are mere numbers, they certainly help me understand where the blog is heading, and so I make it a point to keep close track of them.

• We managed 32 posts in 2013
• That is about one post every 11 days
• We hit 600+ fans in Facebook
• We reached 250 Email subscriptions and
• 250+ RSS Subscriptions

Popular posts of 2013

• The series post on “STAINING WOOD” was well received and is the most read this year
• The Anniversary post was a re-post and enjoyed as much hits as the earlier one
• My favorite post (more so because of the model featured) certainly was the "17 Point recipe on how to start a hobby in woodworking"

Some high points

• We had a good start to the year with a feature in the Craftziner magazine
• We received our first cheque from Google through the Adsense programme
• We managed a short vacation during April and another one during Christmas - Much needed breaks

Time has been playing the killjoy and we haven’t been able to spend as much time here as we want to. A slight decline in traffic in the last quarter of the year comes as a jolt, but we want to leave that behind. There are so many ideas in mind, and we hope to convert them all into blogposts. Until the next post, here’s wishing you all a year filled with joy and happiness.  Leaving you now with some clicks from our recent vacation.
