And just how quickly did that go? As the time flew by so quickly in 2018, hereโs a quick recap of blog related facts and figures, interspersed with a few trips backwards and forth through time itself. You canโt say I donโt do research for this blog!
The top ten countries with the most visits to call by Beyond The Sphere in 2018 were (in no particular order)โฆ
United Kingdom
United States of America
Turkey
Canada
Romania
South Africa
New Zealand
India
Malaysia
Australia
From the top three, one country had 3699 visits, one had 3680 visits and one had 703 visits. Which country is which? I hear you wonderโฆ well, you shall have to read on to find out!
Random factsโฆ
To count from 1 to 3699, it would take roughly an hour. Try it and see!
3680 seconds is equal to one hour, one minute and twenty seconds.

As years go, 2018 was rather quiet compared to previous years. The busiest month for visitors here was February.
Random factโฆ
In Welsh, February is โy mis bachโ, which translates to Little Month.
The top six commenters during 2018 were (once again in no particular order):
Prenin, Beverly (BCParkison) Diane Henders, Visionkeeper, Sue Dreamwalker and Raili (from SoulGifts). So, that is the USA, Canada, the UK and Australia represented โ but do these countries appear in the top three visits list above? Hehehe! Keep reading!
I posted 309 times (310 including this post), and those 309 posts held 71,261 words. Iโd actually typed many many more words, but with my atrocious typing (and hindrance from Fingers, my Inner Typist) Iโve gotten through eight backspace keys.
Random Factโฆ
The first film on page 309 of the 1988 book by Leonard Maltin, โTV Movies and Video Guideโ, is โFathomโโฆ a 1967 fast-paced tongue-in-cheek spy caper starring Raquel Welch. Iโve never seen it.
Iโve been liked, well, I say โIโ but I mean my posts, a total of 3,473 times during 2018. Iโve been viewed (and I refer you to my previous comment!) 177,611 times. Iโm grateful for each one.
Random Factsโฆ
The year 3473 begins on a Wednesday. The calculator didnโt go up to 177611, but I have a feeling that year begins on a Wednesday as well.
Feel GOOD! was my most used category during 2018. I use Feel GOOD! for anything, as I think no matter what Feeling Good is always the basis for the next best thingโฆ even if my posts werenโt quite as good as they could have been, there is always the chance the next one will make up for it. Or maybe not, but whatever.
And thatโs it for 2018. I shall see you again in 2019, so Happy New Year! to one and all.
Oh, I did promise. The countries with the highest visits wereโฆ ah well, just have a look at the map. Stats are fun, but they arenโt everything, are they?
