2011 was a great year for joshandjenny.org. Heaps and heaps of people checked out our website. 3,469 actually, which is up a whopping 1,637 from 2010! Jeepers. We started this website late in 2008, and 2011 has definitely been our busiest year, which is funny cause we started this site to chronicle our overseas missions adventures, and 2011 was the only year we spent entirely away from the foreign field!? Anyways here are our numbers.

There you have it. Tis quite a spike. It is also interesting when you look at our monthly traffic.

In the blue are visits to our site in general. In yellow are returning visits by those who had been to our site before. Our worst months were February, July, and January. I've no idea why? Our most trafficked months were December, April, and October. October shattered the other months by far, mostly because of the tragic and untimely death of Volonte Luxama, and the post I did in his honor, which is my most trafficked post of all time, by far.
It is also touching that December had the most 'returning visits' as people returned again and again to see the progress Charlie (our mouse) was making during his attempted recovery from severe ear infections. Unfortunately he did not make it :(
It is tragic that the most popular events on our website involved the death of loved ones, but it is also proof that people congregate in times of tragedy and bond with each other in different forms.
Thanks to everyone who checked out our site in 2011, may we have an amazing, challenging and growth-filled 2012.
