May was a great month and June looks like it is shaping up to be even better! Our Alexa rank took a giant leap this month, it is not reflected on the Alexa badge yet, but we have almost reached into the top 200,000 – Currently, we have reached a ranking of 208,581!

Some of the things which we attribute this success to is launching our first ever contest for charity, installing Quirk’s Search Status 1.20, installing the Alexa badge, and clicking on it from every computer which we work on. We also streamlined our subscription options through Feedburner this month – although, we do not really know what to think or how Google’s acquisition of Feedburner will impact things, we felt this would make things much easier for our subscribers. If we need to make adjustments, we can always compile different subscription feeds through Yahoo! Pipes…

Regarding the contest and the fundraising for the March of Dimes, we realize that you have read about it no less than 4 times this month, as we were pushing to raise as much money as possible for the March of Dimes. So far, we have raised $357 of our original $1,000 goal. We decided to keep the little widget which is linked to our donations page at the top of our sidebar for as long as it takes to reach the goal! I guess you could chalk it up to stubbornness  Also, due to the extensive and generous giving from the members of the Bloglyne.com community, we have decided to extend the contest until June 14, 2007. We will award links to the top 3 contributors up to June 7th per the original contest, but we will also award an additional top 3 contributors from June 7th to June 14th.

Thanks so much for helping us have such a great May – Let’s strive for an even better June!
