I blogged with WordPress for over 13 years at www.comfortspringstation.com. Just last week, I set up my new blog here on Blogspot. My old site will only continue to be live only until March. My goal is to post the most popular posts from Comfort Spring to Carol On The Lake. I wrote over a 1000 posts on that blog, and I certainly don't need to bring all of them over to my new one.
Since my old blog, www.comfortspringstation.com was a WordPress.org website, I had several plugins that gave me lots of information. A very important plugin is Jetpack. It provides protection, stats, and other functions. At the beginning of every month, I'd get a report from Jetpack on the visits to the blog by day, week, month. You can modify and search for a 12-month report, a report from the start of the year until now, and other interesting subjects like leading referrers.
In 2025, www.comfortspringstation.com had 146,841 views with 114,493 individual visitors.
The statistics from Jetpack were:

You will notice in the top 7 posts, 6 of them have links and have already been published on the blog. I apologize for so many posts in the last week. At first, I thought I should add these to the new blog right away, but that's not a fun nor practical way to share them. I put up the 6 from the top of the most visited posts list. I will add the others in the future. I like to blog on Monday about whatever is on my mind or happening. I'll sprinkle these mostly top recipes in the future posts on Mondays & Tuesdays. As I publish or schedule from the list, I'll add a new link to this post. I'll feature this post for the first year. Let's see how many actually are published.
Update 2/9/26
I have written and scheduled all but 5 posts of the top 50. I should easily finish writing and scheduling the 50 in the next week.
On Thursdays, I usually post nature photos. I like to participate in Yogi's Den's link party, Sky Watch Friday on Thursday afternoons. The quality of photography is outstanding, and I do love looking at the sky. Whether blue skies, dark winter clouds, sunrise, or sunset, I like them all.
That is my plan for my blog. It's a similar pattern of posts as Comfort Spring, but I did lots more posts there. I hope you drop by and visit me here at Carol on the Lake, and I'll drop by and visit you on yours if you have one. Have a great week and STAY WARM! The weather is terrible!
