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

Today is the 8th 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 8 years!  It hasn’t been hard…being a supporter of Clay Aiken is fun and enjoyable!

There are a few numbers that I am pleased to post:

CANN has posted 3,352 articles!

Since January 1, 2017, we have had visitors from 31 countries!

I am also proud of the hits that we get each day.  A couple of friends told me the other day that someone has been saying that our numbers are very low.  Well…I wish that person had asked about it.  It really isn’t so!

We have to add up two numbers to get the number of readers.

First, we have 491 people who get CANN by e-mail each day.  These 491 people are not counted in the number of website hits!

Then we have the people who reach the blog from it’s internet address.  This number changes daily.  In the last 30 days, the high was 549 and the low, 253.  So.. add e-mail readers to these numbers…I am pleased!

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 (just click on the number by the word comment).

Another fun number is at the CANN Facebook page.  We now have 3,975 likes!!  If you haven’t “liked” our Facebook page, I hope you will join in there too.  I can’t wait to get 4,000 likes!!   CANNFACEBOOK

In 2017, 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.

So…enough about CANN!

I send you a HUGE Thank you for supporting CANN for 8 years!!!  

You all are very special people and I consider each of you my friend!

So…Let’s Celebrate!  A Toast To Clay Aiken!
