This is the third article to highlight an anniversary for this blog, which was launched on September 9th 2009.
The first one marks the major milestone of the tenth anniversary.
The second milestone article was published on the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary.
I now think it best to mark the occasion with annual summaries.
I still monitor the Blogger Stats as, although I produce articles mainly for my own benefit, it is fascinating to see what people are reading - and from which countries. There have been some changes since my previous report.
Three articles about Benjamin Disraeli now appear in the top 20 All-Time statistics; one of them has even moved into the list of 10 most Popular Posts. This is unexpected, but it is good to see that Disraeli is still a person of interest.
I have no idea why the article about Diana Wynne Jones's witch Gwendolen Chant should have recently slipped into the top 20 posts!
I have managed to keep to my commitment to produce two posts per month.
I still hope to find enough material for at least another year's worth of articles, even though my debts to certain authors and books in the form of tribute posts are well on the way to being paid off and I seem to have exhausted many relevant topics.
The cupboard is by no means bare: I have a list of leads and ideas for articles, and I plan to work through them for as long as the inclination to produce articles lasts and I still get some satisfaction from working on and publishing them.
I will also need some more inspiration from Odin!
