On July 11, 2000, ABC's of the Writing Process
http://www.anglefire.com/wi/writingprocess
hit the 10,000 mark!  I also see people recommending it through the
Classroom Connect Digest and receive positive email from others who request
permission to link to it.  Right now there are 24 sites linked to it.  +6000 people
from 64 countries have visited since
I added the new counter.   May 3rd was the
highest day with 268 visits.  


In March it was featured in the Classroom Connect's Hot Five Digest.
In May it received an A rating from Education World.

The most recent award was the 5 Star rating from UK's Schoolsone!
