Every year, the magic pixies that power WordPress, crunch up the numbers and produce some facts and figures for their bloggers. Just to let them know how they are doing. Alas, my blog is clearly in decline. But I've know this for a long time. It all went a little downhill the moment I left … Continue reading The Mexile 2014
