How do people discover this blog; revisited?

2012 is nearly finished.

A time when many people look back at the past year.

We have seen what were the top search terms in search engines, from which internauts discovered Dear Kitty. Some blog in 2012.

WordPress statistics also give the answer to the next question: from which Internet links did people arrive at this blog in 2012? (OK, it is not completely 2012, as the year still has to finish; and I have included the time after 8 December last year, when my blog moved to WordPress).
