Quick Update:  You might remember that a couple months ago I mentioned that I had submitted an application for WordPress’s ad service, WordAds.  Well, today I finally was accepted into their program and now you will see a couple banner ads on top and on the right of the page.  Hopefully I’ll eventually get enough money to offset the cost of maintaining (domain name cost) this site:)  Also, since this blog now has ads, I’ll try to find time to increase the posting output to 2 posts per week until June, and in the summer maybe 3-4 posts per week.  If you have any comments about this change (or anything else) please post in the comment section below.

Thanks,

Courtesy of the folks at the WordPress.com, here is an animated page summary of the stats from last year.  To see the full report click on the picture below.  Thank you to all my readers!  2011 was a great year.

Here’s an excerpt:

About 1,000,000 people visit the Seattle Space Needle every year. This blog was viewed about 3,800,000 times in 2011. If it were the Space Needle, it would take about 4 years for that many people to see it.

I’m sorry for the lack of posting during the past few weeks.  I usually try to post a wallpaper set two times a week, but with my current homework load, its been hard to even get one posted.  Until the month of June (when school ends for the summer) expect 1, and maybe (if I have time) 2 wallpaper sets a week. Thanks for your understanding,

P.S. For now I’m sticking with small wallpaper previews because the large previews caused some usability issues.

Just a small update… Most of you like( or at least are indifferent to) the new theme.  A couple of you commented on the slowness of the page loading, and I realize that this theme is slower than the other one (because of the custom background).  But overall, I think the good outweighs the bad, so I’m going to stick with this theme.  Here are the results of the poll:

Well, as you can see I have switched my blog’s theme to a theme called Coco.  I did this mainly because I thought the previous theme design was getting dull.  Time for a change:)  So what do you think of the new theme?  Please vote in the poll below or leave comment.  Thanks!
