My 2011 Blogging Results

This year wasn’t my best effort blogging but I did see some fruits of my labors.

My personal blog stats.

Eransworld.com

This year eransworld had some serious setbacks.  I changed hosts and it killed a lot of my seo and site functionality for  months.  It plagued me for much of the second half of the year.  The other thing that happened is that I had some serious writers block. I didn’t know what to write about and the blog suffered.  I did still improve however.

I posted 79 posts.

2011 Unique Visitors = 36,587

2010 Unique Visitors = 26,346

Starchild Music

My friend and guitar teachers website did better as well but not as well as we had hoped.  Jon had some serious challenges that prevented us from being more successful.   This year we are going to be hitting it hard and hope for bigger and better success.

2011 Unique Visitors = 2,513

There are three other sites that I am a contributor to but I chose not to list their stats due to privacy concerns.

 

Utah NENA Technical Committee Chairman

Last year I was asked to join Utah’s chapter of NENA as Vice Technical Chairman.  Today I was nominated to replace the Chairman on the Technical Committee.

I also presented the state of the Utah NENA website and presented ideas on how to grow our content and increase our readers and participants.  The committee loved the ideas and we started on assigning tasks to implement these ideas.   It should be an exciting year for Utah NENA.

 

UTAH-NENA.ORG

A few years ago I was asked to build a website for the Utah Chapter of National Emergency Number Association (NENA).  I was asked to develop a logo, and a site design.  Mostly Utah-NENA wanted a simple site to share information. I set it up and populated it with their content.  (See It Here) Soon after I finished version 1.0 of the site another person took over the daily operation of the site.

After about two years of the site languishing, I was asked to join the Utah-NENA board as the Technical Committee Vice-Chair. Soon after joining the committee I was asked to redo the site and make it more exciting. I decided that I would convert the site to wordpress and use thesis as its back bone.

This is what it looks like now.
