The other day, my buddy Joe Rossignol wrote this on Threads:
Looks like I surpassed 8,000 blog posts at MacRumors recently.
My typed word count has probably well exceeded 2 million.
Sheesh.
That got me wondering about my own output, so here are some random stats:
- Including this article, there are 11,337 posts on 512 Pixels, published over the course of nearly 17 years.
- I have published 1,655,996 words across the previous 11,336 posts.
- The XML export of those posts is 43.2 MB in size.
- I don’t expose them on the website, but 51 different categories are in use, and every article is in at least one of them.
- There are 55 pages on the site. There are another 20,981 words in total across those pages.
- There are 5,396 items in the site’s media library within WordPress.
- In the last three years, my macOS wallpapers page has been visited over a million times.
- In the same time frame, the largest referrals of traffic to the blog have been Hacker News, Daring Fireball, and Flipboard. That last one surprised me.
