Sorry about the site going dark for a while this afternoon. The host company had “a server emergency” that took alwaysupward.com, the blog, and all our email accounts offline while the DNS propagated to the backup server (geek speak equivalent of “the water heater broke and it took a little while for the new one to warm up”).
Looks like things are functional again…or at least the server is. My heart, on the other hand, might be in question, since the thing keeled over less than two hours after a press release went out about our swanky new numbers (see previous post). Thankfully, The 3/50 Project website propagated quickly, so no blackout there.
Now…back to jump starting my pulse….
Toot on those trumpets, and bang on those drums, folks. It’s time for a little celebration-—on our two month anniversary, no less.
Late last week, supporter number 5,000 registered on The 3/50 Project website, meeting a goal I thought we’d be talking about six months from now. To make things even sweeter, our Facebook page logged fan number 7,000 just hours before I took the podium at the Waconia Chamber of Commerce luncheon right here in Minnesota on Thursday. (As of today, Facebook has topped 7,500.)
I feel like that mom with the “My child’s on the Honor Roll” bumper sticker (sans minivan, sans…well…child).
Congrats to all of you out there who jumped on board. This hub is very, very proud of you spokes. Big time.
