As of sometime today -- Monday, Nov. 10, 2008 -- Altadenablog has passed 50,000 lifetime page views. Our lifetime per-day average is now up to 123 (which includes many months when page views didn't get above the dozens), and we are safely hovering in the 250-500 page view per day range these days, depending on what's going on in town.
Thank you to all our supporters -- to those who keep us informed about what's going on in their corner of the world, so we can share it with you. Thank you to our advertisers for being smart enough to know where the community is going for news (and we still have charter rates, so if you advertise with us now, you'll always get the best price -- shameless plug). Thank you to those community members and institutions whose support we have received, who send us their news, and endure our nosy questions. Thanks to all of our commenters, both praising and critical (Robert Heinlein said "I never learned from a man who agreed with me").
And a special thank you to our readers and those who say we've helped them or brought them something they needed to know.
Thank YOU for supporting Altadena's community newsblog!
(Even Prof. Lowe is breaking out the balloons!)
