At some point yesterday (5/20/2012) this blog had its 100,000-th visitor. Congratulations, whoever you were! Unfortunately I have no prize to offer, unlike the bogus web advertisements with a blinking light saying you are the millionth visitor.

Just for comparison, my wife’s blog (www.allaboutapplique.net), which debuted around the same time as “dana blogs chess,” has gotten more than 700,000 visitors. So I’m definitely the #2 blogger in my own family. This proves one of two things. Either there are a lot more quilters in the world than chessplayers, or else she writes a much better blog…
