I’m glad I’m not the only one paying attention. The Almanack also noted this story in the Post-Star a couple days ago: Officials: Summer arrests fell as tourism floundered
I love that they are monitoring some interesting metrics down there.

OK, I’m kinda sorta excited in a ho-hum “land n’ leave” sort of way. Looks like my pals at the XXXXXXXX have decided to take off their Blogger/Blogspot training-wheels and get on a machine with real CMS power. Excellent move, but….
- Why announce if you’re not ready? The default Meta and Blogroll items on the sidebar? Gone.
- The About page. Gads, just delete it or hide it. Deleted.
This is an example of a WordPress page, you could edit this to put information about yourself or your site so readers know where you are coming from. You can create as many pages like this one or sub-pages as you like and manage all of your content inside of WordPress.

- Whoever cares about SEO should call me.

ReserveAmerica has just announced their “2008 Top 100 Family Campgrounds” and some of our Adirondack jewels have made the list.
We’ve got a lot of campgrounds around here, so maybe it’s a little in our favor, but it is a nationwide “competition”. Last year’s list included Point Comfort Campground – Piseco, Whetstone Gulf State Park – Lowville, and Lake Eaton – Long Lake. I’m counting six campgrounds in our area making 2008’s list, plus two more in other categories.
