Features and Thank you’s for July

The Sitcom had it’s second record month in July for visitors with over 120,000 page views and over 4000 followers on Google Friend Connect, Facebook, Titter, email and RSS Feeds!  I am so excited about that!  If you would like to take advantage of the momentum and become a sponsor of the Sitcom, please email me at [email protected].  You can check out my advertising rates here.
