Hello Everyone,
SwisLive:
SwisLive is going very strong, we are getting a great following of regulars, as all of you know from getting this newsletter. As of April 17th we broke 50,000 hits, that's in a matter of 3 months folks!! The cam start numbers (actual people viewing stream) have been impressive too! Average start numbers for the month of April are well over 700 per day. This week has shown us in the number 2 position out of the truck cams and top 15 out of over 500 cams.
We are now listed with Earthcams, a site that monitors and displays many cams from all over the world. We are hoping to be selected as a top 10 Earthcam soon, voting has been very good from our regulars and guests. If you would like to vote, just follow this link and click on the gold stars after the SwisLive details, then chose the amount of stars you feel SwisLive is worth. http://www.earthcam.com/search/ft_search.php?s1=1&term=SWISLIVE&x=25&y=16 at time of posting this letter we had 156 votes at 4.5 out of 5 stars!! thanks to all that have voted.
As some of you may have noticed, we have taken on the help of 2 new admins, Nette and Bilbo.We strive to keep a safe and friendly place for all of you, and with everyone's changing schedules its difficult to have enough help in the room at all times to keep a handle on the flow of undesirables. Please tell them and all the Admins a big thank you the next time in.
T-Shirts, The T-shirts are still in the works, don't panic! The graphics are being finished as I write this and we are waiting on approval on the proposal submitted to St. Jude Children's Hospital to use there name in collecting the funds for the donations. As I have mentioned before, on top of the price for the T-Shirts and shipping there is going to be a $2 donation collected at the time of sale to be donated, not to worry, if St. Judes doesn't accept we will come up with an alternate. The front graphics are finished! we are now working on a great idea for the rear of the shirt. Be have decided that the shirt is going to be available in different colors, probably dark blue, black and grey.
FLASH!!! At time of sending this, swislive hits were at 52,545 visitors!!
Also, had a wonderful opportunity to meet Nette and Susi, what a great couple of people!! We went out for dinner and had steak at Outback, brought a big bone back for Cassie, she was so happy to meet them as well. Thanks gals!!
Swis:
The photos this week were all taken at the cabin in Chidester Arkansas, my new home. There are some great shots of some flowers that I found blooming around the lake, a few of the lake and the Cypress trees and some more of the Flowering Dogwood tree in our front yard. There are 2 that I shot of a pair of Canadian geese that wondered into the neighbors yard as well as some of the local birds feeding in the front of the cabin in our new bird feeder. The last few shots were taken by my Dad and I on a couple afternoons while enjoying some of the great Arkansas mud.
The Swis page is getting a lot of traffic, we are now well over 3500 hits, I believe a lot of that has come from the interest in the SwisLive cam. I love sharing my photos with you any way I can, I hope you enjoy this weeks slide show!!
