Happy Birthday to I’m Turning 60…!!
I really want to thank you for visiting during the years, whether you have dropped in on a daily, weekly or occasional basis during the past nine years.
I especially want to thank those who have commented. I really appreciate it when you tell me that your family enjoyed a recipe, or when you ask if I have a recipe for a particular dish.
The past nine years have been full of changes - some good, some bad - and I want to thank you for sharing the years with me.
I’m Turning 60… continues to be more popular than its older ’sibling’ blog
Really!!
I’m Turning 60… - with 1037 posts - has had 689,015 visitors since July, 2010.
That's when Blogger started keeping track of both blogs.
That's more visitors than its ‘elder sibling’, Winnipeg is Better Than Chocolate, which has 2,741 posts, and received a bit over 407,000 visitors.
I’m Turning 60… has less than half the posts with over fifty percent more visitors.
Quite the growth for this little blog!
Thank you for visiting and for telling your friends!
Okay… enough with tallying the reader numbers.
Let’s get back to the recipes which deserve the credit for all these visits!
I recently took a look at how this blog’s posts have been doing.
There have been a few changes from last year’s favourites.
Here are the current all time top ten posts:
Italian Easter Pie with Ricotta and Meat
During the past month these have been the top posts:
Hoito Restaurant’s Finnish Pancake Recipe, a Thunder Bay Favourite
Carmela Soprano's Anginetti / Italian Lemon Knot Cookies with Lemon Glaze
Carmela Soprano's Anginetti / Italian Lemon Knot Cookies with Lemon Glaze
Please, if you haven’t already, do try the recipes on these lists.
They’re not popular recipes because people don’t like them!
I also get a kick out of seeing how you search for my blog.

Back to the visitors...
Turkey is a new member of the top ten club, knocking Romania off the list.
So glad to get to meet you folks in Turkey!
Hope you've been enjoying the recipes.
Now the top ten countries and their visitors are:
United States………….. 328,275
Canada………….……….…. 58,917
Australia………….………… 35,126
Malta……………..…………. 33,616
Turkey………………………. 29,224
Russia…………………….…. 27,438
United Kingdom…….…. 21,412
France………….………..…. 16,942
Germany……….…..……. 14,758
Ukraine.…….…….….……. 9,646
Want to compare the numbers and recipes with those of last year?
No problem... here are the stats from 2018.
I'm always amazed at learning where you live.
I expected many visitors from the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom since many Maltese immigrated there, especially after World War II.
During the years there have also been visitors from Italy, Finland, Poland, Spain,
the Netherlands, Macedonia, Mexico, Afghanistan, Thailand, Slovakia, Ireland,
Denmark, Bangladesh, Sweden, Israel, Moldova, Malaysia, Singapore, Kuwait,
Greece, Kenya, Vietnam, Czech Republic, Brazil, Bermuda, Namibia, Cyprus, India,
Philippines, Japan, South Korea, Norway, New Zealand, Madagascar, Armenia,
South Africa, Romania, Iceland, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, Tanzania, Argentina,
United Arab Emirate, Belgium, Tunisia, Taiwan, Paraguay and China.
It is a small world after all!!
During the past few months there has also been a new, mystery visitor which Blogger is calling ‘Unknown Region’.
I haven’t a clue what that means or where these readers live.
All I know is that they seem to like my recipes.
