When I wrote my first post in the 1 Day 1 World Project series I hoped I wasn’t promising something I wouldn’t be able to deliver. Could I really write 24 posts documenting 24 real-life hours and still publish content that was interesting or worse, would it be like hosting the dreaded party that no one attends… Six months later I’m happy to report success, not only has this project been a great experience for my family I’m thrilled to see how many bloggers came by to read, leave a comment and even join in the fun through posts and adventures of their own.
I try not to spend too much time looking through my stats but when I decided to finish this series with a recap post I thought it would be interesting to see which posts came out on top in terms of views, comments and participation. I know the results will change over time as some posts have had months to gain views while others have only been visible for a few weeks but as of tonight here is what I found.
- The most viewed post in the series is my Introduction To The 1 Day 1 World Project.
- 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm post drew the highest number of comments and was the most viewed hourly installment.
- The 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm hour was the most popular in terms of linked posts from other bloggers.
If I narrow my stat search to the past 12 months I am delighted to see the Introduction at the top of my views list and that 10 of the 1 Day 1 World posts are currently sitting in my top 20.
My first goal was to write content that you found interesting and it looks like we did just that. My second goal was to have a few of you join me in this crazy adventure and I’m thrilled to say plenty of you came by every week to share a view of your daily life. We had participants from 11 countries including Germany, England, Singapore, Australia, Slovenia, India, The Netherlands, Canada and America. Many of these countries saw entries from more than one blogger and within the United States, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Virginia and Washington are represented. Wow!
I want to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has come by to read, comment and participate. I’ve learned so much from each of you and though I’m sorry to see this series come to an end I know there are plenty of fun moments ahead for each of us to experience, capture and share!.
Participant recap results are linked below:
I never took part, but now that it’s over I am sorry to see it gone, though honestly I am not anywhere close to be able to participate in such challenge. Congratulations Lisa to you and the participants. This has been the most interesting challenge I have encountered so far 🙂
I agree with everything about Paula’s comment! And reading your “after the fact” stats is so interesting, too.
Thanks, Cindi!
Thanks so much, Paula it’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed following the challenge!
This has been a fabulous challenge to follow….I almost joined a few times….but time….anyway now it’s over I want to say, again, again!
I don’t know if I’m up for attempting this one again but maybe we’ll try something new after a few months off. 😉 Thanks for following along and sharing your supportive comments, Seonaid!
Well done !
Thank you!
You are welcome
Well done, and would echo Paula’s sentiments!
Thank you, Sue. 🙂
It was a really fun challenge to follow, Lisa. What a great wrap up report. You know what would be fun is to somehow, on one page, see all entries for the same hour side by side. A glimpse of that hour from different corners of the world in one view. Not even sure how to do that logistically, but thought it might be cool.
I’m so glad you enjoyed following the hours here, Nancy. 🙂 Posting entries side by side would have been something fun to try and I think I know a good way to do it but not sure if there are enough hours in the day right now to set it up properly… If I try something new later though I’ll definitely include some form of a participant grid. 🙂
If got here late but loved them all
Thanks, Tony!
Well I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and thank you for challenging me. I shall go and see which of my entries got the most likes / comments now 🙂

My round-up: http://wp.me/pL5Ms-1XS
Jude, I forgot to mention you were the one linking participant who had a post for every single one of our 24 hours! Your enthusiasm for the project was one of the keys that kept me going through the dark hours of the night. 🙂
Yay Jude!! Congratulations 🙂
Congrats on a very successful and fascinating challenge, Lisa. I’ve so enjoyed seeing all the entries. 🙂
Wonderful to hear, Sylvia. Thanks for your supportive and engaging comments through the entire series!
Forgot to say that your main image here, is gorgeous. 🙂
I’m glad you like it. 🙂
I only wish I had been a genuine supporter of this project, Lisa – it was a wonderful idea !
Now you must come up with something even more clever, of course …
[grin]
I appreciated your support every time you came by to visit, M-R. 🙂 As for something even more clever, I have a few ideas floating around but need a little more time to work them into something real. Maybe in a few months. 🙂
I have to thank you M-R, because you’re the one who introduced me to this challenge and I had sooo much fun doing this!
That makes me feel a whole lot better, Joanne ! I hated the fact that I was so totally unreliable …
Congratulations for staying up 24 hours within 6months. I would have joined you but I have a sleepy head 😛
Thanks, Perpetua. 🙂 I’m usually a sleepy head too!
As I’ve said many times, thank you , thank you , thank you!
It was a lot of fun 🙂
And a huge thank you right back, Joanne! Your late night adventures were inspired and it was so much fun to follow you through cities I’ve never had the pleasure of visiting. 🙂
Congratulations, Lisa. What an achievement. The hardest ones must have been the wee-hours-in-the-morning ones. Like some others, I didn’t participate but it was great to follow along and see you rise up to the challenge each week. You certainly got many of us excited through this project. Well done 🙂
Thanks for the kind words, Mabel! It’s been so nice to hear how many of you enjoyed following our round-the-clock adventures. 🙂
Great challenge, and well done.
Thank you, Angeline. 🙂
I’m going to miss it, too – although I fell down badly on the late-night early-morning posts. I enjoyed seeing what you’d been doing in the middle of the night, though!
I’m glad you had fun following along and appreciate all of your great contributions. 🙂
well done, Lisa 🙂
Thank you. 🙂
This was a fun challenge to follow. I knew better than to begin as I’m no longer one to “burn the midnight oil”! Great job! 🙂
Thanks so much, Linda. 🙂
Well done on achieving this. Dedication to blogging is certainly when you rouse yourself from bed at all hours to go and take a photograph for a specific time.
I had a great time during the whole process but the only thing that got me through the late night sessions was knowing I wouldn’t have to do them again. 😉 Thanks for following along!
What a fantastic project. And the recap here is really beautiful – and my favourite being the big, opening picture. Well done!
Otto, thanks so much for your nice comments! I really enjoyed this 24 week project and am glad you like the photo I chose for the opening. It is my favorite too. 🙂
Lisa
[…] are the other 1 Day 1 World Wrap-ups. I really enjoyed this […]
[…] Thanks to Lisa’s wonderful idea and vision for the 1 Day 1 World Project! It started in May at 11 am and ended October at 11 am. Lisa had been dedicated to the project. While we were sleep, she was posting in Seattle. 🙂 See her REVIEW… […]
Congratulations, Lisa! I love this review post. Here is mine: https://shareandconnect.wordpress.com/2014/10/21/1-day-1-world-review/
A wonderful review post, Amy thanks for all of your great images and stories!
Great round up, Lisa. I was so impressed with the people who stayed the distance (and have been to tell them so 🙂 ) A satisfied feeling of a job well done for you, and time to spend on other projects. Have a happy week!
I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the project and thank you for visiting everyone’s posts and sharing your appreciation! Enjoy your week as well! 🙂
I know this is an old post, but I stumbled across this and I have to say I’m very impressed that you took on such an ambitious project.
I’m happy you found and enjoyed the series. 🙂 It was a lot of fun to plan each photo and coordinate links from bloggers around the world.
It sounds like an unbelievably colossal project. I can’t imagine!
It wasn’t that hard… Maybe just a minor, colossal project. 😉
Well, hats off to you anyway! 🙂
