Good Deed Report

Monday, March 16th, 2009

As an experiment, I placed a banner ad on our home page asking for good deeds that people have done.  Most of the replies have been questions, but I want to share one reply with you. 

B.K. replied to the request with;

“  I read your thing about good deeds we have done… and it made me think.  I can’t think of any good deeds I’ve done.  I try to be a good dad, and take care of my family but thats bout it…”

B.K.,  I am proud of you.  Anyone who is  doing their best to be a “good dad” is doing the best good deed that can be done. 

Giving food to a food bank, donating money to a charity, helping out with a fundraiser are all good things, but they pale in comparison to being a good dad.  Even if we slip up from time to time, showing our kids that we love them is going to make a great impact on the way they will grow to be good mothers and fathers some day.

Keep up the good work.

Traffic to site continuing to grow

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

On Feb 4th, I reported that from December to January, traffic to the site had doubled… to 25,969 page views for the month.  Then I saw the stats for February - just short of 50,000 page views. 

Now, a little less than half way through March, he have had 29, 509page views.  Being an optimist, I am guessing that we are going to hit 75,000 page views for the month.

With all of the talk on newspapers that are shutting down their presses, it looks like people are still hungry for local news.  Connections Planet is here to fill that void.

Have a great day.
