We’re awful close to having 30,000 site visits! I say we because I couldn’t have gotten there without all you. I had the idea that I could have a prize for the 30,000th visitor if they sent me a screen shot of the visit count. I don’t think I’ll do that this time around since it’s only 60 hits away from that as I type. Read the entire post…
