I came across a nice blog post over the weekend by Values Voter News that JillStanek.com "has moved up into the top 7000 blogs according to Technorati!!!"
Sure enough, I'm currently ranked at 6,816. I asked a couple web friends if 7k is an important miltestone to get excited about, and neither were aware.
Nonetheless, the number of readers continues to grow rather than shrink, and this blog's worldwide ranking according to Alexa also shows steady growth.
Thanks to all of you for reading this blog, commenting, telling friends, and linking to posts.
This gives me a good opportunity I too rarely get to also thank moderators Bethany, Bobby, Carder, Carla, Chris, Jasper, and MK for overseeing half of the blog - commenting. Thanks to Angela and Laura Loo for making corrections. Thanks to Jasper for his quotes of the day. And thanks to Chris and Tim for improving the look and function of the site.
We all have the same goals: to increase prominence of pro-life issues, community, and politicians; expose the falsehoods of the pro-abortion ideology, abortion industry, and politicians; and point out MSM's good, bad, and ugly coverage of pro-life/anti-life happenings.

"From one anti-abortion extremist to another....well done!!"
Lol. Remember we're hate-mongering zealots too!
Posted by: Janet at October 13, 2008 2:53 PMOh, that's right Janet. Can't forget that!
Posted by: Carla at October 13, 2008 3:00 PMThanks, all... :) You're all part of the reason for the growth, btw.
Posted by: Jill Stanek at October 13, 2008 3:08 PMHello Jill & Crew....
I'm one of your newer readers and this site has become a regular stop when reading on the web.
I'm particularly impressed with the high quality of your writing, Jill, and also very much appreciate the Christian charity and forebearance shown by your excellent moderators. It's encouraging to see reasoning and clear thinking used regularly with those dissenters who have not yet succumbed to troll-dom! I think it's possible that some hearts and minds can be enlightened through the calm discussion which often ensues.
May God reward you richly now and in the Life to come. And give you strength & resources for continuing the battle for many years.
According to this site, Jill, your blog is worth $113,472.54. ;-) ;-D

Posted by: Bethany at October 13, 2008 3:57 PMJILL: All those babies who've survived to birth and those who've been aborted also thank you. You are the voice of those who have absolutely NO voice.
At least, in the case of the negro slave, we could SEE and HEAR and TOUCH them. They were visible. It was so easy and yet it still took a civil war....
You also don't know how many people have stumbled across your blog and changed their minds - keeping their baby safe and sound.
An unborn baby- silent, pure and innocent.
:-D
Good for you, Jill.
Congratulations.
Posted by: Doug at October 13, 2008 7:24 PMGreat work Jill. Thanks so much for this pro life site.
Posted by: Therese at October 14, 2008 5:40 AMCongratulations, Jill!
I guess this blog is working towards the Spiritual Works of Mercy, too:
» Convert the sinner
» Instruct the ignorant
» Counsel the doubtful
» Comfort the sorrowful
» Bear wrongs patiently
» Forgive injuries
» Pray for the living and the dead
God Bless!
