I like numbers, especially when they give feedback on how we’re doing. Something I’ve wanted to do for a while, and am now just getting around to, is post a snapshot of stats on the blog for the past 30 days. First, a little context, and then the top posts and numbers below the fold.
For this round-up I took the top posts that were posted in the past 30 days. Some posts get more traffic from a high volume of google searches, but those searches don’t tend to focus on the youth climate movement.
In the last 30 days, we’ve had 106 posts from dozens of different authors, covering almost every corner of the globe, and a broad view of all that makes up this movement. We’ve had 260 comments and there are 325 people registered to post. We’ve had over 55,000 unique views, and it goes without saying, played a big part in the largest global day of climate action ever.
If you’re interested in learning more, check our technorati rank and read about what all this means at Fired Up Media. And for contributors, please look at the stats in the back-end to see more about where web-traffic comes from.
This post is a bit of an experiment. IGHIH is a community project with hundreds of contributors, and we’re still learning how to get our voices out there louder than ever. For thoughts about how to share community news like this easier, discussions about what this all means, and how we can do better, I’ll see you in the comments.

And, where people clicked to from our blog:
Did you all dress warm for your global dooming demonstration?
Why don’t you be real activists who challenge authority instead bowing to this politicized dogma you call science that says my kids are going to die on a dead planet. How brave you all.
You are not rebels, you are obedient Greenzis and climate cowards.
If you spent as much time loving our planet as you do giving it the last rites and throwing it under the bus, you would see how misguided you global warmers are.
Spread love, not fear and needless panic.
Face the future with courage, not this candy a s s THE END IS NEAR garbage.
Be real liberals, not lemming who worship a fat politician who promises to save the planet.
The next generation will get even with you for leaving this false death threat over their heads.
History will not be kind so get ahead of the curve and renounce this CO2 theory. Pollution is real and the CO2 death threat is false.
as far as i see, there are a lot of people have their blogs here, at wordpress. i found a lot of different information here. but i see taht people like to write more than discuss or comment. – a lot of writings here but not so many comments usually. only separate blogs are being commented but new one (even if they are very interesting and informative) stay without feedbacks.
Meme, you seem like a troll. Your comment doesn’t seem to reflect the diversity of tactics and approaches to fixing what’s messed up in this world that this blog shows. Nor does it seem particularly relevant to this post, which makes me disinclined to have your comments in the future.
From now on, your comments will be moderated.
I think it’s HILARIOUS that Meme called science “politicized dogma” — really? science? I’m pretty sure science has the deductive and experimental evidence to prove theories – i.e. evolution, curing diseases, etc
I have seen a dropoff in comments on this blog recently.
Hopefully everyone is so busy creating sustainable communities and fighting dirty energy that they just dont have time to comment.
I do miss the intelligent discourse and wide spectrum of ideas that used to be voiced on IGHIH though…
Certainly a wide spectrum of thought is reflected in the blog. What I have always found interesting is the wide variety of perspectives that are brought here.
Thanks for pulling this information together Morgan – Helps us see how far we’ve come since 2005!
