Let’s start with the December Statistics, from Statcounter

Monthly Stats Report: 1 Dec – 31 Dec 2017

Summary

And the Annual Statistics from Statcounter: I installed this in 2015 so the numbers from that year are low.

WordPress Jetpack counts things in a different way, and the traffic in the last year was lower than 2016, but that is not easily found. The top five posts were…

1. A snarky post about lowering academic standards.
2. The cold religious war in England
3. A vegan social activist who fisked PETA. It was also one of the easiest posts of the year to write
4. Alt-Christianity and Generation Z (for Zyklon)
5. And a pink pill post: women have a decade to set their life up. Men have longer, much longer

Thanks to those bloggers who have linked and followed, particularly Keoni, Cappy and Social Matter, from whom I get a fair number of links, and the people who pray for me and email me… including those who at times this year I have skyped and phoned when in crisis. Thanks to Robyn, who generally is next to me when I am blogging the lectionary. And let us praise God. We have not been silenced.
