Hey UDressers and visitors!
I'm floored to announce that we hit a new record site visits on Sunday (June 28, 2009) with 80 people viewing our site IN ONE DAY! Thank you to everyone who visits the site, and especially to the editors who are constantly contributing content to keep the website fresh. It is really amazing to see something I started from scratch blossom to what it has become.

Today marks EXACTLY the half-year mark since this website was launched, and since then the website has been visited 2,400 times by 1,400 different people from 48 different countries of the world (2,200 from the USA). We truely have a large widespread audience, but a 50% return rate shows me that many readers keep coming back for more. With 23 active registered users (and counting) this further confirms that we are truely beginning to build a devoted fanbase.

Despite all this we still have a long way to go to finish everything we want to do on the site, but it is really encouraging to see such a great interest in the fruits of our hard work. I can't wait to continue to make the website even better and hopefully (with your help) blow these records away very soon!

THANK YOU ALL!
--Gifford Nowland

UDressers!
I just finished overhauling the website, put up all of the magazines (sorry i'm missing some pictures!), and changed some colors to match our bright new issue!! (which will be up to read online VERY soon).

I added all of the editors email addresses so you can contact us easier too!

On another note, I spent about an hour cleaning out our registered users list, apparently our website has attracted some spammers. Because of this, commenting on articles and writing on the forum is now available only after you register.

Speaking of registration, I just finished compleately overhauling that process too. I added an image recognition to help deter robotic spammers from registering on our little site! ALSO, when you register, please use your FULL NAME (first and last). This will help us keep tabs on everyone in the group better, and it will help me weed out the spammers!! If you could use your @udel.edu email address too, that would be even better.

Take care, and I hope people start registering and taking advantage of everything the site now has to offer. Big things are on the way!

Yours,
Giff Nowland
