Clay Aiken – Isn’t It Fun!

Today is Friday, January 11th.  To most people it is just another day, but for CANN…. well…

Today is the 4th Anniversary of CANN!

When CANN was started in 2009, we only had a few goals:

  •         Keep the public updated on all the Clay Aiken news as it happens.
  •         Maintain a site that presents Clay in a positive way.
  •         Present a place where all fans are welcome from all corners of the world.
  •         Have fun and enjoy being a fan of Clay Aiken.

Deona and I work hard to maintain CANN and we both enjoy presenting this site.  We are lucky…we live about 5 miles from each other just north of San Francisco.  Deona is a computer wiz.  She maintains the site and adds all the bells and whistles…and does it so well that she gets very little credit.  She is also a great teacher as she has taught me so much about codes, widgets, Plugins and…patience!

The following are some of the updated facts about CANN:

  •         We have published 1,832 posts
  •         There have been 20,626 comments
  •         Our subscribers list continues to grow
  •         We are visited by fans from all over the world.  We have had visitors from 145 countries!
  •         We are having fun!

From news about David Hyde Pierce to Joni Mitchell…information on bullying to the latest news on equality… reviews of performances to crazy fan polls, live reporting to exciting memories, I have tried to keep the site interesting and fun.

Of course, our first priority is news about Clay Aiken; however, we have presented news about professional colleagues of Clay, information about the music profession, the newest information on social media, and the latest Broadway news.  We also support fund raising at the charities that Clay has said he supports.

When I wrote the first article on CANN, I wondered if anyone would read it.  I am still amazed that you are here, supporting CANN.  I check the Cluster Map each day and love seeing that in the last seven months, we have had 752 visits from Japan, 646 visits from the United Kingdom, and, well, friends from all over the world.  It is amazing.

For those of you who subscribe and read the daily e-mail, I hope you will stop by the site sometimes.  At the bottom of the e-mail, you will see a link that says:

Post from Clay Aiken News Network

If you click on this link, you can see what CANN has to offer.  It also gives our site hits that help us in our Google listing.  Look around, click on the Cluster Map and see the readership by state and country.  It is pretty interesting.  And remember, we love to see your comments (just press on the number by the word comment).

A Huge Thank You to all of you!  Your support has been amazing!

Isn’t it fun being a fan of Clay Aiken?

  9. Congratulations CANN! I became a fan about the same time – Feb 2009. Wow, it's been FOUR FUN years!! Back in 2009, I remember wishing I could find a site that is ALL ABOUT Clay Aiken. I wanted to know all about Clay and get some current news about him and was disappointed in what was out there, there were bits and pieces but I needed more. I wasn’t really sure if he was worth my time, and wondered if he turned into one of those inflated celebrities. Reading some comments from articles, I realised he had a fierce and loyal following, people who loved and supported him. So I followed the love, kept searching for a fan site and found CANN. It was like finding my way home. And Clay was worth following after all. He’s not only is a one of a kind singer, he paves the way for a better, kinder world. I am a better person, learnt and did all kinds of new things and having the time of my life. THANK YOU Deona and musicfan. I love CANN and I love Clay. <3

  10. Congratulations Musicfan and Deona! You two deserve a ton of credit…and a ton of visitors…. for putting together this fabulous site.
