Note: This is not an Excel post…

I totally forgot that today is the 3rd Anniversary of my Excel blog.  Time really flies.  Thanks WordPress for sending this 3rd Anniversary notification to me.  What’s a pleasant surprise! 🙂

Did you know how many posts are here in wmfexcel.com?

I can’t believe it.  It’s 185 posts! Including this post, it turns to 186 posts.  That means I published more than 1 post per week since I started it.  I didn’t know I am so hard working.

So which posts got most views in 2016 so far?

Obviously, VLOOKUP is still the most common function that people like to explore.  But you know what? The more I know Excel, the less I use VLOOKUP indeed.

Also tell you this…

I am actually a bit complacent when I Google some key words like “cannot unhide row in Excel“, “Dropdown calendar in Excel“, “vlookup 2 values“, “copy from protected excel sheet” and see my posts appear on the first result page, sometimes even on the top.  🙂

Where are my readers coming from?

<Top 10> 

Not surprisingly, majority of readers come from United States.  Even less surprisingly is the number from Hong Kong, where I come from and live in.  I doubt if all the views from Hong Kong are coming from my friends or people who knows me.  🙂

The journey starts at low… but rewarding!

Honestly, the first year was difficult.    What I mean is not the writing process but the emotional one.  I kept writing but no one was reading… not such a good feeling, right?

Nevertheless we have a proverb “萬事起頭難” in Chinese.  It means “The first step is the hardest. As long as you persevere, you are bound to succeed.”

I wouldn’t say I have succeeded.  But frankly, this journey is quite rewarding.  I learn so much in the progress.

If you are (still) reading this, I sincerely thank you!  You are the motivation for me to keep on writing on this blog @ wmfexcel.com, aka BeExcellence!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.  Let’s Excel together!
