Did you Monday’s story online at TribTown and in the paper about our staff winning five awards Saturday at the Indiana Associated Press Managing Editors awards program?

TribTown won a first place in our division as the best Web site in the state.

We’re pretty excited about it, although such things don’t put new shoes on the girls’ feet, a tank of gas in the car or even a steak on the grill.

But it is satisfying, knowing that the hard word we put into the Web are being recognized by our peers.

We already knew we must be doing something right, based on the number of hits — growing hits — that TribTown.com receives. We see that in the number of unique visitors, the number of times viewers come back and how sticky they are to our site — that is the how long they stay and how deep into the Web site they go.

We also knew that by the number of hits we get on our photo galleries and videos of local events and people.

Thanks for reading my blog, and thanks for logging on to TribTown.com.
