Blogiversary: Get Moving by the numbers
Happy blogiversary post number two! This is our second post to mark the one-year anniversary of the Get Moving blog (in case you missed it, here is the first post on the subject).
This post goes out to all of you who are data junkies. Here's a breakdown of all things Get Moving broken into two parts: One about me and my numbers, and one about the blog specifically.
First let's go through the blog stats since I find this wildly fascinating from a data-nerd standpoint:
