1) That this would be a useful tool to share information and communicate with our team and the community.
2) That it would spark an interest in readers to comment and engage in dialogue with me about the various topics discussed.
3) That I would be able to find the time to keep up with this experiment and find new and interesting things to talk about.
By and large, I would consider this project a success and hope to keep it going in 2010. The reason I claim this has been a success is based upon looking at a year-end statistics report that I got from Google. Based upon the analytic tracking tools that are embedded in the blogging site, there were just over 18,000 visits to the Hospital Life blog in 2009 from readers in 72 different countries! I had hoped that I would get a lot of readers from within the hospital and our system, but I never thought that I would reach such a wide audience from one little blog on the web! And of the roughly 8,000 unique visitors to the site, over half of you continue to check back and follow the blog on some sort regular basis, for which I am greatly appreciative!
As I look forward to this year, I hope to continue to find new ways to stimulate thought and discussion through this blog and hope that my readers will also become more engaged in sharing their thoughts and opinions as well. Recently, I have tried to make the site even more accessible by linking posts and stories to my Facebook and Twitter accounts to make it easier for everyone to read. If you aren't connected to me there, please feel free to add me and help continue the discussion!
Thank you all for making this such a worthwhile endeavor, I look forward to a great 2010!
