We had 15 posts that merited over 500 visits.  Whew!  What a year.

In fact, we had just over 3,000 visits last December.  This month we broke our readership record with over 16,000 visits and just under 30,000 page views.  Thank you to all our readers for making the New Santa Ana blog the TOP civic blog in Santa Ana.  I assure you all that next year will be even better!
