As for the overall stats on my blog, it has been a very good year with almost 300 000 Pageviews and over 170 000 Unique Visitors!

Also, when I compare the stats to last year, I can see that the blog has been a lot more visited, but since I shared a lot more news & quick fixes then last year, some of the stats went down.

I hope you all liked my blog posts in 2014 and I am already preparing some for 2015!
