April was a good month for Frugal Dad. We saw over 80,000 page views and increased subscribers to 727 by the end of April, up from 357 in March. Thanks to all new subscribers for signing up – glad to have you all here following along. My May 2008 goals include reaching 1,000 subscribers and topping 100,000 page views. Both of those milestones were on my six-month goal plan when I first started blogging and it would be a major accomplishment. Of course, I couldn’t meet any of these goals without your support – so to my readers, a big thank you!
