Yesterday, on August 24th, 2006, The Underland exceeded a record-breaking 52 visits. (The previous record was set on its second day, with 49 visits, but most of those were automatic crawling programs from Google and the like.)
Not only did the site break its record, it broke the half-century, and within 10 days of its inception, too. Certainly a reason to celebrate, in my view. So break out the soda and chips, dust off the pianoforte and sing a song! Or, you know, you could just tell your friends to read The Underland. And you could subscribe to the e-mail updates.
My personal goal for the site is to break 100 visits in a day by the end of September. I’d also like to be averaging 50 visits per day by then as well. (The current average is just over 20.) So shout from the rooftops!
Another bit of news: To help new readers get up to speed with the story, I’ve added a link in the sidebar that takes you directly to the first chapter. Also, links will appear at the bottom of each chapter that lead to the previous, first, and next chapter in the blook. This way, a new reader will never have to muddle through the archives. Clever, no?

I will be mentioning your blook on The Writing Show next week, Basil, which should help your stats. Hope so, anyway.

Oops. When I said next week, I meant the first week in September.

That’s great news! I’m very excited about that! Thank-you so much.
