As a surprise present I decided to make an overview of the page statistics. I like sharing the blog backstage information, it makes one feel being part of the process. At least I feel that way whenever I get to read someone elses statistics.
MOST VISITED?
During this time I have written 17 blogposts about MOOCs, writing and other related topics. The most visited ones being these:
Most commented post is "Author´s guide to slow twitter" with its five comments. The same post has received eight likes on google+. The second most liked post in google+ is "Creative imagination in art of education #artofeducation" which has received 6 likes.
SOCIAL MEDIA MENTIONS
Since I have been active in social media for some years by now I am used to send my seeds out and share materials (created by me or others). Facebook is the most common place where I send my articles or small news pieces but also Google+ and more recent discovery twitter.
During the last weeks I have had many mentions out there in the social media world. Most of them initiated by me but also by the other writers or readers. At first it came as a big surprise when a "real" writer took time to comment or send a message. I have been especially interested in twitter world in these recent weeks probably because it is new to me, therefore I would like to share some of the twitter comments here:

I have been active in twitter nearly every day and really like the idea of being present while tweeting. Welcome to connect and slow tweet with me @tammevelin.
WHO ARE THE VISITORS?
It is so inspiring to know that people who arrive here to learn to write in English come from all over the world. US and Sweden are the most active in visitor numbers but there are also many other countries on the list. Blogspot.com stats are quite poor because they show you a very limited number of entries and because of this I do not know exactly how many contries could be listed if we counted each. I will post here the list that is available via blogspot.com. There are possibilities to use other tools for counting but I am not so seriously into the statistics, it is much more about the writing process, communication and sharing than numbers to me.

SHARE YOUR STORY!
One of the most important part of social media and blogging is that it is connecting us in our thinking, writing or other creative work. To be connected means to get engaged in the process via commenting, sharing, reblogging. The bloggers are like a huge global community constantly working in millions of different directions. The beauty of this fragmented lot becomes visible when we start to find the connecting points and really meet each other.
Part of this blog is the idea to be publishing texts of other people. We are nearly always quoting each other but I would like to share some stories about learning experiences of people from all around the world. Therefore I invite you to send me a story where you tell how you become a writer or started to write in English. I would like to feature your story in this blog to inspire others who are just starting their journey.
If you have a story you would like to share, please send it to tammevelin@gmail.com. Who knows perhaps your story is the one that will be published and read worldwide?
