Hello everyone! It's time for the daily update. I've been busy (working) with other things today, so I am just getting around to tallying votes and looking at numbers. BIG NUMBERS! I am amazed at the continued traffic on the site. We are losing steam, but the traffic is still way over the norm. Here's what I am seeing:
Tuesday's site traffic reached over 3900 hits. As of 9:50pm central on Wednesday, we're at 3100 for Wednesday. Still nice numbers!
Total votes to date are 5,468!
Total donations to date are $250. I plan on adding another $100 at least, so we're $150 away from one more iPad. We had one person donate $100. Very nice.
So, you want more??? Here's the juicy stuff...
The current leader has 14% of the total votes.
Unfortunately, rock stars are falling out of popularity.
The top 8 are divided equally- 4 boys, 4 girls.
Alexander moved into the top 5.
Taylor is sitting in the #10 spot currently.
Kendall is out of contention ;).I am going to continue pushing the word in other networks. Keep the push on, we have 3 more days still!. (Maybe too long???)
More tomorrow!
-
Rock stars??? OH NO! That's Emma! Yipes! :)
-
But hooray for all that traffic and SO. MANY. VOTES. Wow!!!
-
Looks like it's time to launch a KISS reunion tour to get the comeback rolling!!!
-
10th spot???!!! I sure hope that changes soon and moves on up. Taylor we have got to get more votes!!

Thursday 11:50pm Central update...
We're losing a little steam, but the numbers are still large in relation to normal site activity. I am impressed that we're still getting a high volume of traffic.
So here's the update:
6,600 total votes have been made as of the end of today.
In just 4 days, the web site has seen 14,600 visits!
We've been able to receive additional donations that will support 1 more iPad and we're $175 away from a 3rd. We'll keep going until Saturday. Maybe we can get 4 of them...?The top 3 vote getters have 34% of the total vote combined.
The #1 spot has been occupied by the same child for the last 3 days.
2nd and 3rd place are neck and neck.
Amelia is now in the 10th spot.
The top 2 Yo Gabba Gabba characters have 10% of the total vote.
Alexander the Cowboy is in the top 3.
Sydnie is sitting at #5.More tomorrow!
-
I have to bypass today's detailed update. Won't be able to provide one later...
I do know that 2000 visitors stopped by today and the vote count is past 7000!
The big news is that we are up to 4 iPads! A good friend and client offered to donate another, getting us up to 4 total!
Tomorrow is the final day for voting. Is there a last push out there????
-
So.... any nuggets today? When will we find out? Curiosity is seriously killing this cat!
-
Yes, I totally agree, I keep checking back, but there's nothing!!! When do we get to find out? Midnight central time? :)
-
That is such a generous donation, how awesome! So 4 given away now, that makes me so happy!!
-
This contest has been so much fun for me! I wish everyone good luck!
-
I moved up the closed time to 9pm central. The activity has slowed and the top 4 slots are well ahead of 5th place. I will put a post out tomorrow announcing the winners. I will not be available to do anything with it later this evening and I would like to put some thought into the announcement. Over 7700 votes, what a great turnout!
Tomorrow, the winners!

Hey Kevin,
So... we know you have a life. And ... taking care of a blog is a total labor of love. Thanks - for all the time you must have put into running numbers, taking care of tallies, posting the tidbits, everything. We really do appreciate it.
