More turn-over than I would have guessed. I’m apparently big in La Jolla. And last year my posts about the giant sequoias were big, whereas this year things have tilted toward redwoods. It’s probably meaningful.

Here’s a list about pages viewed (don’t know how these worked out last year). I’m omitting the home page and pages that are virtual duplicates (e.g., the multiple pages about the DIY entertainment center that isn’t very good).

So 2008 and 2010 were big years. Most popular posts written this year were about my fake plastic rocks and my Versa-lok retaining wall — they were tied for 66th. I didn’t post a lot this year.
