February 2019 Blog Statistics

February has been a frustrating month for me in the blogosphere, for reasons I cannot disclose at the moment - although I probably will be able to Friday. My stats are down, too, but not as bad as they used to be.

I was able to publish five posts this month:

• Fixing My Wife’s Timex Ironman Watch
• January 2019 Book Reading List
• How Marginal Tax Rates Affect Effective Rates
• Second Half 2018 Merch by Amazon Sales Report
• How Do You Report Virtual Currency Transactions to the IRS?

I also have some new “sections” on this site that aren’t blog posts per se:

• Blog post archive which is a little different than my “sitemap” page in that you can link to a specific month or a specific year.
• Comment archive with every comment on this blog on one page. The comments might not make 100% sense without context, but it’s more for me to be able to find comments quickly if I so desire.
• Featured section where I attempt to archive places that backlink this site.
• Referral links section where I list referral links that might make me money if you click on them - most of them are redirects.

A few of these have existed for several months now. I’m just now remembering to mention them on one of my monthly blog stat posts.
