Today is Thursday, January 11th. To most people it is just another day, but for CANN…. well…
Today is the 9th Anniversary of CANN!
Yes…CANN started in 2009! It’s almost impossible to believe that!
Our main goals in 2009 were to maintain a site that presented Clay in a positive way and to keep the public updated on all the Clay Aiken news! Of course, we also wanted to have a place that welcomed fans from all over the world. I hope that we have kept to those goals throughout the last 9 years! It hasn’t been hard…being a supporter of Clay Aiken is fun and enjoyable!
I’m a number person. I follow the numbers each day. I want to know how we are doing! So…there are a few numbers that I want to share with you:
CANN has posted 3,705 articles!
Since January 1, 2018, we have had visitors from 53 countries!
I am also proud of the hits that we get each day. In the last year, we averaged 336 hits each day. Add to that the 458 email readers and we have a great group of readers.
Our ClusterMaps are much more complex now and lots of fun to see. I hope you will all click on it once in a while. You need to scroll through and see all that we know!!
And remember, we love to see your comments. It’s easy…just click on the number by the word comment. If you send a comment to our e-mail, it takes a couple of days to get to me and then I type it in the comment section.
Another fun number is at the CANN Facebook page. We now have 4,004 likes!! If you haven’t “liked” our Facebook page, I hope you will join in there too. CANNFACEBOOK
In 2018, we may see many directions from Clay. As his interests and direction change, we will change too. We will never forget the past and will always celebrate the important stepping stones in his career. However, we will also continue to report on what he is doing in the present. We will take our lead from Clay and his team and will support him in whatever way that is appropriate.
I send you a HUGE Thank you for supporting CANN for 9 years!!!
You all are very special people and I consider each of you my friend!
So…Let’s Celebrate! A Toast To Clay Aiken!
A huge “Congratulations on the 9th Anniversary of CANN”!!! I come to check everything out here everyday and try to leave a comment often. I also enjoy checking out the Cluster Map – it’s fun. I really appreciate you keeping us up with “all things Clay”!
