Wow, holy crap that was fast! I honestly feel like I just finished my June Wrap Up a few minutes ago and now I am expected to do a July wrap up already? This blogging crap is out of control sometimes.
Nah Im just kidding I am actually pretty excited to get the July Wrap Up posted, I enjoy doing the wrap up’s regardless of how time consuming they are, I like going back over some of the important articles and users that are kind enough to leave a comment when they come through. Not to mention you know I’m a stats freak and I have a feeling that July was probably one of the best months ever here at Extreme John.com
Those of you that have a blog or read a lot of blogs might have a pretty good idea what the wrap up is all about, a blog wrap up gives the blog owner a chance to look back over the previous month and do a recap post. Doing a recap post is an excellent idea if you plan to grow your blog and your readership.
It is important to remember that not every single person that visited your blog today actually visited it every other day of the month, in reality chances are they did not visit it every other day of the month. A wrap up or monthly blog recap allows you to expose your previous articles to your new readers. I like the results of doing them so much I now do a monthly wrap up for our tanning salon business, you can see my June Wrap Up for Extreme Tan and Smoothies.

Gettin Out of Here
That’s it for July it was certainly a mentally challenging month and I am honestly happy to see it get the hell out of here, on the more positive side of things Nate and Nadia are finally moving forward with a new bright eyed baby! Wahoo! In addition to baby news there is no question that our continued spray tanning growth reached enormous levels of success in July, thanks to all of our faithful long term customers.
Insane Limos had a decent month as far as the limousine business goes, we quickly learned that July certainly is not prom, wedding or party season for limousine service in Florida. However after speaking with a few of the people I know that also operate limousine business’s they actually felt we were busy in comparison to what we could have been, so I guess I will smile and look forward to August.
The Extreme John, Extreme Tan and Smoothies, Insane Limos and MMA Punk blogs all continue to show nice levels of growth moving through July, this makes me pretty confident that August should continue to show increases within every part of our social networking and social marketing divisions.

Wow, that’s alot of visits, good job
If you don’t mind me asking, how did you look up how many comments you had in July, does it require a WP plugin? And the same goes to finding out which commentators made how many comments in that month too.
Thanks!

@Jason my goals for August are all aimed at growth in other areas, of course I would love to see the blog grow but I would rather see my commentator base grow more.
@Klaus Two seperate Wordpress Plugins to get that info and make it simple
You can see those plugins here http://www.extremejohn.com/sunday-smash-weekly-wrap-up/
If you need any help please let me know.
