K12 Academics Updates for November 20th-December 3rd

Expect a lot of ongoing changes to the website in the coming months. I would like to thank all of you who send me such great feedback on the site. The last two weeks I have included a considerable amount of new education information. I want you all to know all updates will be on time. I had to move my office and register with a new domain server, due to the amount of traffic this site now receives.

What has made the site succeed is you. Your continuing support and word of mouth has been what has made this site so great. Thanks to you K12 Academics is now within the top 100,000 websites on the Internet. Consider the fact I opened this site April of 2005 that is some accomplishment!

Part of what keeps this site alive is the ad profiles in the various directories. I want to let you know from 12/4-1/5 I will be offering an additional 4 months listing for a total of 16 months in all of the directories (Boarding, Camps, College Consultants, Disability Schools, Exhibits, Gifted Youth Schools, Study Abroad Programs, Support Services, Waldorf Schools). If you know of anybody who would apply please let them know of the great offer I am giving for the holidays! Broken down, it is only $6.25 per month!
