To kick off the New Year, here is a quick recap of my Audiology Blog activity from 2013.
Crunching Some Numbers:
As of December 31, 2013, my Audiology blog has nearly 2,000 subscribed followers; every time a post is published, subscribed followers automatically receive posts via e-mail. In 2013, 46 new posts were published, growing the total archive to 207 posts. In addition to the nearly 2,000 awesome people who view blog posts via e-mail, my Audiology blog was additionally viewed a little over 24,000 times in 2013.
