December was a pretty good month overall for Superbowl. I should have checked subs before and after the Owl of the Year tournament, but there’s definitely a few new ones, and there’s a few people in the comments that weren’t there before.
I did some year end review items, like the top posts of the year and a list of posts I felt didn’t get as many looks as maybe they should have to try to encourage people to revisit content they may have missed.
My main goal for this year is to try and get more international content. I try to avoid being to America centric, but only speaking English limits me in finding things. I don’t know how to say my keywords like “raptor hospital” in every language, but I’m working on running various attempts at guessing what they may be on Google Translate and I am finding a few rescues around the world to try to bring in different perspectives about taking care of wildlife in all different locations with different species.
I already try to always list weights and measures in metric and imperial, and I’ve been taking feedback about things like names, as the owls don’t have the same names in different parts of the world, some users may know them under different names. I like when people chime in about when they have different names in their country as it lets us get an idea about what people there thought were good descriptions of the animals and we learn some about how other languages work.
I think it may bring in more people to the community, and even if not, we might learn more about each other anyway and I’m addition to feeling closer to animals we might never meet, we can also feel closer to the people from those places too and end up carrying a little more about them as well.
Happy new year!
