crmvet.org website - What's New!

28,776 different people visited the CRMVets website during December. On school days that's about 1500 per day (fewer when school is out of session, of course).  The website's annual statistics report for 2011 is now posted at:
http://www.crmvet.org/rpt1201.htm. The reports shows total usage stats for the year as reported by Google (270,570 different visitors in 2011, for example). It also report the most popular pages and sections.

Starting today, we've discontinued the Guestbook and are replacing it with a new Blog that can be found at: http://crmvet.org/wordpress/. We're just setting this up now and it needs to be tested. Please try it out and let me know if there are any problems.
