It's October (where is the year going?) and we give a shout-out to our sponsor team, which helps bring Altadenablog to you every day:
Baietti-Seyffert/Podley Properties
California Bohemian Leather (the holidays are coming, and it's a good time to order custom leather products!)
Friends of the Altadena Library
Hugo Arteaga Graphic Design (new!)
Judy Rubin Architectural & Previews Specialist
Rancho Bar
Altadenablog is the best place to advertise your local business to your local audience. We've been bringing Altadena the news for five years now, and we're not going to change our focus in January like the out-of-town website will. We also promise: your ad, on every page, every time, exclusively with other Altadena-area businesses. Nobody else offers that.
And if advertising isn't in the cards for you, but you'd still like to support Altadena's only locally-owned and -operated news website, we've opened the The Altadena Wall of Awesome! Anybody who buys an entirely-voluntary subscription (which gets you nothing extra, by the way!) gets our eternal gratitude and your name on the Wall for a year! (You can be anonymous, too -- just tell us!) (If anybody asks, we recommend $50/year -- that's less than $1/week, or 14 cents a day, but all contributions are gratefully received!) Your contributions will largely go to improving our coverage by providing improved rates to our freelancers and some planned upgrades in the website.
October 2012 marks the end of our fifth year serving Altadena, with almost 2 million pageviews to date. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to growing together!
The contribution button is here, and the Wall of Awesome is here.
