Help Keep TJR Humming Along

I first started blogging at The Jed Report early last year, and I never would have guessed that it would end up becoming a full-time endeavor. But here I am, spending  most of my waking hours TJR -- and loving each and every moment of it, especially the community that has developed here.

Now, as we head into the final two months of the campaign, I'm reaching out to you to ask for your support in by making a donation to help keep TJR humming along. Your continued support helps me cover hardware, software , and service expenses, and makes it possible for me to devote as much time to TJR as I do. (And it keeps those dreadful ads off the site!)

Many of you have already made a contribution through the PayPal link that I've set up, and I'm grateful for your generosity. But whether or not you are able to make a donation, the important thing is that we are all working towards the same goal during this election season.

On a related housekeeping note, please indulge me as I tout some traffic milestones that TJR achieved in the past seven days (as of the publishing of this post):

• The seven millionth video was played from the TJR YouTube channel (the total is now up to 7.3 million)
• This week alone, more than one million TJR videos were played, making it the 9th most active channel on all of YouTube during that stretch.
  
• Today alone, three hundred thousand videos have been played, making it the 3rd most active channel on all of YouTube.

As for jedreport.com, traffic is also booming according to stats tracked with Google Analytics:

• August was TJR's most heavily trafficked month, with 378,294 absolute unique visitors over the course of the month.
• From Sep. 2-5 (a server outtage nuked much of Sep. 1), TJR had 64,759 absolute unique visitors who viewed 205,328 pages.
