Crunchy numbers
About 3 million people visit the Taj Mahal every year. This blog was viewed about 48,000 times in 2010. If it were the Taj Mahal, it would take about 6 days for that many people to see it.

The busiest day of the year was April 3rd with 3,709 views. The most popular post that day was Easter Bunny Cake. (It appears my blog was THE place to find an Easter Bunny Cake pattern in April of 2010. This post got 7,480 views during the entire month of April and a total of 13,493 views for the entire year!)
