TFTS 1M Header

Ever so often we like to celebrate something concerning the site and, being that we passed our 500,000th unique visitor mark some days ago without so much as a whimper, we wondered whether we should also sit back and watch our one millionth page view pass equally unmarked – then we thought, what the hell, let’s mark the occasion with a brief post.

Yes, as unfashionable and as uncool as it doubtless is to pat oneself on the back I can remember some 14 months ago dreaming of reaching such a figure in terms of page views – TFTS is a passion, so excuse me for being rather happy at this juncture – and yet, here we are: older, uglier (didn’t think that was possible, but hey), and with six zeros.

Needless to say, the vast majority of hits have resulted from our traffic levels showing a healthy growth of late – the first few months of the site (not so long ago) used to occasion a cold beer if I got so much as one person slip past in a day, albeit probably as a result of no more than a nervous twitch on their part whilst typing in a search term.

TFTS Through the months

From the very first design to the present

(we like to think things have improved)

Here’s to the next million (I don’t know, some people are just never satisfied are they?). lol.

Thanks for your visit/s. This is my home. Pull up a chair - you’re always welcome.

    Congrats Andrew, you should be very proud of yourself because it’s well deserved. The site looks great and here is to millions more.

    Thank you Vic for your kind comments - much appreciated.

    I don’t quite know why these otherwise abstract numbers mean so much, but I find it impossible not to have goals of some sort and the 1M mark has been a goal from the word go.

    Andrew,
    Congratulations! I am really pleased for you. You have worked so hard to make this site a success and I think you thoroughly deserve all the landmarks you have reached and will reach in time to come.
    What a difference a year makes from then until now. You must be very proud of your site. The site looks brilliant - please don’t change it for a while though! :-)
    Your hard work is paying off - long may it continue!

    Thanks for your kind comments Sam.

    You’re right is saying just how much has changed in the space of a year - something thats certainly in no small part due to finalising a design for the site we hope to keep for…oh…at least the next few weeks. lol
