My blogging fell apart in 2013. I was doing well and reached a goal of 10,000 visitors in a month. Then it fell apart. I spent a lot of time trying to learn Cisco products, and I felt that I did to have anything interesting to add to the internets – it was stuff that all Cisco people already know.

And, I got lazy.

Goals for 2014:
My goals for this year are about the same: 8 posts per month (two per week). I also want to get my Microsoft Certification updated to the new MCSE track.

Anyway, here are my visits for the year:

December      4034
November      4424
October       4964
September     4600
August        5106
July          5502
June          5934
May           7409
April         10913
March         11440
February      10312
January       11256

And my Summary:

And my downwards traffic trend:

I missed my blogging goal of 2-per-week/104 for the year. I ended up 98 posts. Same goal for this year.
I also missed 10,000 in a month. I was on track at the beginning of December, but then I had a big drop during the holidays.

My monthly break down:

December	 9085
November	 9827
October		 9427
September	 9010
August		 9440
July		 9151
June		 8171
May 		 7352
April		 5027
March		 3966
February	 3160
January		 2741

Here is my year end traffic graph from Google Analytics:

And here is the breakdown for the traffic:

My 2013 goals are 2 posts per week/104 per year, as I said above. And 15,000 visitors a month. 15k may be out of my reach, but I would love it!
