1,000,000 is a nice round number, much like 10,000. Thanks to your remarkable support, we should be serving our millionth visitor to our humble blog sometime this weekend. Alas, we’re not giving away any prizes to whoever rolls the odometer on SiteMeter but if you’re lucky number 1,000,000 we’ll probably never forget you!

Congrats! What a great achievement.
Well, Whooty Whoot Whoot!
Good job, guys!
(From Susan, just shy of her 10,000th visitor)
Wow. Impressive, but hey, you guys deserve 1,000,000,000 visitors.
That’s a marvellous achievement. Thanks for the wonderful service — to us and our feathered friends. :^)
Congrats!
Congratulations on the milestone!
OMG . . how amazing, congrats everyone!
Hey guys, I just spotted this. I’m a little late, but congrats on the fantastic milestone! I checked SiteMeter and did a little figuring, and it looks like I’m getting pretty close to the 1,000,000 visitor milestone myself. If I can just keep up the pace I’ve been averaging, I should hit my millionth visitor sometime around the beginning of summer… in the year 2195! :-\
