In November of 2005, we passed 50,000 hits to this Webzine, at least to the title page of it. This works out to an average of one visitor every half hour, and while that doesn't sound like much - when we have a small target audience and are not updated more frequently than once every couple of months, it is.
This has inspired us to look back over the past issues - 15 of them to be exact - and pick out a few things from each one to mention in a special edition. It is not long, and we hope you will take the time to at least look over this edition, if not actually click on the links to see the past editions it mentions. Many of you will find your name mentioned - we went back over the editions and found that over 50 LGs (and Aunties) have been mentioned or have contributed to Knuffles!
For those of you who are new, this will be a nice introduction for you to what this is all about. To those of you have been around for awhile, you will find it a nostalgic walk down memory lane, as I did whilst putting it together.
We have also copied every picture that was featured on the cover of each edition, and put them here for you to enjoy. A lot of thought goes into the cover design.
When we announced that 50,000 had been reached, we received this picture from Abigail Sarah:
We also received the following messages:
Congratulations sis. I know the best of Knuffles is yet to come
