Happy Birthday, SouthsideCentral!

SouthsideCentral is one year old today! Thanks to all of our readers and contributors for making SC a giant success in our first 12 months.

850 articles, 2500 comments, 45000 visitors and over 410000 pageviews in the first 12 months. It’s all thanks to you!

SouthsideCentral started off as the rebirth of HalifaxCentral. We started building up a following in the HC days, but then quickly realized that there was a need to cover all of Southside Virginia (soon to expand to a full regional coverage area including northern North Carolina). The domain name was available so we quickly snatched it up and made plans to expand. On June 1st, 2009, SouthsideCentral debuted with a story about an upcoming Danville City Council meeting and the fun started. It hasn’t stopped yet, and I doubt it ever will.

I pride myself on making sure that SouthsideCentral has something for everybody. We’ll make you laugh, we’ll make you cry, we’ll make you think and we’ll make sure you enjoy what we have on the site. SouthsideCentral is a mixture of news, opinion and fun. SouthsideCentral also thanks our contributors who put their own touch into the articles that they write, and we’re always looking for more people to write for the site. Most of all, SouthsideCentral thanks you. You’re the person that visits the site and reads our articles. Without you, we’re just another website on the vast internet. With you, we are what we have become… and we’ll never forget our obligation to you to provide the content that sets us apart from the rest.

I have to say this one more time to make it clear. Thank you very much for visiting often. 🙂
