November 2000
• Two things happened on the 29th. Got listed on LearnASP.com's "Top ASP sites" - they get over 22,000 visitors a day, so might make a difference! Also uploaded a corrupt database by mistake and had to scrabble to recover. Talk about an emotional day...

October 2000
• Started submitting to search engines - will it make a difference?
