So let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s see some facts and statistics on my blog since it started:<\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/blog.flashcolony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1.jpg' title='Blog statistics'><img src='http:\/\/blog.flashcolony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1.jpg' alt='Blog statistics' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It is still 21st of December and as the statistic shows, the number of visitors has doubled since last month. The numbers are far greater than what I have been expecting. Lovely\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n<p>USA, Kuwait, Canada, and Europe were top countries visiting my blog respectively. I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t imagine how Kuwait got the second place, I never advertise for my blog and I only know several people in Kuwait who actually reads my blog. In addition, Google, msn Live, and Digg were my top referrers to my blog. BIG TIME!<\/p>\n<p>The topic which took most attention and had most comments is &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.flashcolony.com\/?p=396\">PHP is not a bad programming language<\/a>&#8220;. That topic alone had 6 comments and over 1000 readers worldwide which is kind of scary number for single post and unpopular blog.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/nocreditcard.nl\/\">NoCreditCard<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lowagie.com\">Bruno Lowagie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Online Gazette<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/iamjustprogrammer.com\/\">I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m just a programmer<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/olkenava.com\/\">Olkenava<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/myhobbyisprogramming.com\">My Hoppy is Programming<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archrain.com\/\">Archana Patchirajan<\/a> for referring to my blog. And also my thanks to all who referred to my blog not mentioned here. I wrote all the blogs who technorati reported to me.<\/p>\n<p>Al-3baidly and Nosayba thank you for your constructive comments and arguments we had in college. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s so nice to discuss with people I know about my blog and topics in my blog. Al-3baidly I hope we can continue discussing about tech and IT more in our free time.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you all enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy writing it.<\/p>\n<p>Next, let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s talk about the web at a glance in Part 3 of this topic. It might get boring for some of you since most of the stuff I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to talk about (part 3 and over) depends on my personal perspective, you might agree or disagree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Continuation of 2007 in Review &#8211; Part 1 The blog!
