and 10,000,000 visits later

The Main Website reached a milestone early this morning - the 10 millionth visit.

The site began long ago, you can find a history and timeline in an earlier post.

Until the site got its own domain - on the Feast of Blessed Damien de Veuster (10 May 2002) no logs and very few stats were available. On that first day, there were 45 visits - viewing 495 pages.

Over the years the site has greatly expanded in content and in users. For example, yesterday there were over 6,000 visits looking at over 38,000 pages. Nearly 1,000 people belong to the groups that receive emails about updates.

And today, the total number of visits passed 10 million. During those visits, folks viewed 68 million pages. Not bad for 6.20 years of service :-)

All I can say is Thank You!
