January 2012 was an amazing month. We established a new standard, surpassing last January, for the most views in a month ever on the site. There were 47 posts published, which was a lot. That included fifteen posts with video embedded (including initiating a series from the ReBuild My Church broadcast) and two posts with audio.
We had three “longer form” posts this month, all of which are found in the top ten of the month according to the stats meter. That might explain why, despite our November theorizing about our standard post size, why we averaged about 250 words per post. And you did your part as well, posting up nearly 30 comments this month. Thanks!
Again, we have taken all the words of this month and placed them into a wordle. (Click on image to enlarge.) But, all the key words – - young people, youth ministry, Jesus, Lord, Catholic, witness, faith, church – – seem to indicate the we have remained on message throughout all the verbiage.
