Default Looking Back...

I was thinking... I remmber when not too long ago I had announced I think it was my first 5000 visits to my website and I think it took me a year or something to get that...

Well now after setting up with the new server, building a better site, and advertising....

I'm averaging over 2500 hits a month and about 1100 unique visits a month...

I'm not bragging... I'm just excited to see the numbers are growing.. and I appreciate all the support that everyone has given me in the form of purchases, service work, advice ect...

Thanks Guys!

Congrats on the traffic! I just checked out your site, and have one suggestion.

Have your web developer change the black background and the blue fonts to something else. the blue font against the black background is not easy on the eyes. Perhaps a soft gray, or off white background. This will brighten it up a bit.

Other than that the layout is nice.

I am the web developer LoL... I like the black back ground... I do agree with you on the blue text ect.. I will be playing around with the side bars and text ect, when I have the time.. I just started working on the graphics for the site.

Yes if I ever get into a building I will have an open house or if I ever get my own house maybe I'll host a corvette gathering there or something we'll see I have some ideas in the works but not sure whats going to happen yet... There are some changes in the family brewing, ect...
