I was interested to see the statistics on how many blogs I have put up – and remember, that excludes my blog at www.lawblog.co.za. This particular site has over 1,560 blog articles and believe it or not, more than 390,000 words. If the average book is about 80,000 words it means that if you have been reading the blogs over the years you have almost read 5 books just from reading this blog!
I am sure some of the blogs have not dated well – in other words, including predictions that are completely wrong by me and probably lots of comments by BlackBerry supporters about how they will never be parted from their BlackBerry, etc as well! It is quite interesting when one sees the statistics of what countries the various readers come from and only a very small percentage of those who read the blog on a daily basis actually contribute comments. My most prolific year for blogs was 2010 when there were 278 blogs, but in terms of words, in 2014 there were 67,700 words across 227 articles. The average blog, when you take all of those statistics, works out at 250 words long.

I do enjoy the blogs, sometimes I really learn a lot. It's quite interesting as well to see everyone's views and how different we all think about a certain topic.

I enjoy reading to either get information or to evoke emotions. I find blogs too short to really evoke any emotions and I'd rather read a company's website instead of their blog because I find blogs too subjective. Having said that some of your blogs do evoke emotion and are informative as well. Congratulations Michael on having put up so many blogs!

Bianca R said:

Wow that is a substantial amount of blogs. With those stats at least I can say that I then definitely had read more than 5 books haha. It just shows how much one can actually learn from reading, even if it is a blog.

I believe it is very important to read. It’s relaxing and very good for the brain. Sometimes I like to go back to previous blogs just to get reminded again of what I’ve read previously. And it’s also fun to see what other people’s comments are.

That's quite impressive... Who would have thought a blog could amount to that much?! Well I will keep reading...
Although a book is completely different to a blog - who knows, you might really have a book published soon. That would be an interesting read.

It appears that you are a seasoned author - Congratulations! Why not publish a book? Your writing is impecable and you have a strong opinion. None the less, I have enjoyed reading the many blogs thus far and will continue reading.
