Those nice people at WordPress send out an end of year summary for each blog, mine is reproduced below.

I get the feeling though that blogging is ‘very 2010′ (and familiarity with some of the blogs that I link to will show that this opinion is widespread, it’s awfully quiet out there).  I will pause for a while and think about my future direction (current ideas include something Twitter-based that automatically squirts out charts at regular intervals during the trading day i.e. some upfront API effort reduces my workload and gives people what they really want).

Back soon in some form or other; perhaps the same or perhaps not. I’ll keep annoying you with my predictable comments though. Here’s that report…
