Everything I do on Google+ (and on Twitter, and some stuff I just do there) ends up on my WordPress site, "***Dave Does the Blog". Here's the JetPack report on what went on there in 2015. A few highlights:<\/p>\n

– 280K blog views. Peak was 16K on 27 June.<\/p>\n

– The most popular post (in terms of views) was from a few years ago, "76 Things Banned in Leviticus (and their penalties)"<\/b> [https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/2012\/06\/13\/76-things-banned-in-leviticus-and-their-penalties.html<\/a>]. This ends up being viewed and linked to on a pretty regular basis, which I guess says something. It was also the most (natively) commented upon post during the year; it regularly garners comments, which have been remarkably civil, all things considered.<\/p>\n

– The "top commenters" in the stats linked below are just for folk who commented on the WordPress site; the G+ comments brought over didn't count for that purpose (though they do count for "most commented on" stats). <\/p>\n

– Everything that posts on the WordPress blog also gets echoed to Twitter, thence to Facebook. Interestingly, I get more hits coming back from Facebook than from Twitter.<\/p>\n

If I can gather up some G+ statistics, I'll post them separately.<\/p>\n
