Do you like crunching numbers?
We do! Sometimes.
Especially when we get to the end of a year.
Or just begin a new one…
Taking a look back helps us plan for moving forward, so each year we like to take a little time to evaluate what we accomplished the year before.
We published 177 new blog posts in 2023!
That’s an average of 3.4 new posts every single week.
The reality is there were some weeks when we published seven and others when we only managed to do one.
Now that 2023 is over, we’re diving into our numbers to see which posts were most popular with you!
This will help us plan what kinds of posts to write more of in 2024.
