..and then there were Three

Posting to My Greatest Cape is truly my favorite place to express myself. As the owner/operator of Greatest Cape, I find that running my business commands the vast majority of my time. So, as I sit here reflecting on the last year, I want to recount those notable events which have occurred during that time.

As the content at our beloved site has grown, so to has the diversity. Out of need we added the topics of Health and Well-Being, SWFL Cuisine, Cape Coral Business and, most recently, Cape Web Technology.

Another aspect of our BLOG which has seen miraculous growth is our membership. As of this writing, we have exceeded 5000 registered members and continue to expand. We are always glad when we have new members come aboard, as they are the life's blood of our site.

Another area within Greatest Cape which has experienced fast growth is is our Cape Coral Business Directory. As our directory continued to grow, we realized the need to re-build and categorize our offering. It was a lengthy undertaking, yet it has finally been completed. However, because we are constantly striving to improve the form and functionality, we have recently decided that inclusion of our member businesses logos and logotypes is essential, so that project is about to begin. As branding is a crucial aspect of marketing any business, we felt it was imperative in helping our local businesses better establish their namesakes and respective identities.

While some of our changes have been small, we felt that they were necessary improvements to the functionality of our site. Our SWFL and Cape Coral Events Calendar sees so much traffic, we knew that we should add an RSS feed for those frequent visitors who just want to know what's happening at a glance.

The creation of our own group on Facebook® only seemed to be what any worthwhile BLOG would also have created, so that's what we did. My Greatest Cape has nearly 50 members and we can't wait for more! Have you joined yet? If not, we hope you'll decide to do just that.

Because there are probably going to be a lot of additions I'll remember forgetting to include as soon as I post, there is one change taking place which warrants being mentioned. Several of our members are beginning to contribute articles of their own to our site, and this is most awesome, as doing so has always been something we have encouraged. We are very appreciative of their input, and always want to assist our members in bringing new and informative content to our online community.

In summary, we've continued our growth at Greatest Cape and hope to have a new year filled with a host of new features and functionality. Because of the involvement of our community, we hope that this will allow us to continue our expansion.

As a final note, I want to say that both the naysayers and the imitators have been a welcome challenge. However, it's hard to hide the appreciation we feel as a result of people believing in what we're doing. To our supporters we owe our largest debt of gratitude! Thank you, thank you, and thank you, again. It's because of you that we are here ~
