Today marks two weeks of Sarasota Health News. But when you're writer, editor, webmaster, publicist, financial manager and even more (including being the father of three-year-old twins), I can tell you this: It feels like a lot longer!

Oddly enough, though, it's energizing, not exhausting, and I owe that to the terrific response so far. We've received many letters of support, which keep my spirits up. We had a great profile story on the website of Creative Loafing, the local alternative newspaper, which you can see here. And Health News Florida had some very kind words, which you can read here. With minimal outreach effort, we're seeing 100 to 150 visitors a day, and email subscriptions are approaching that mark -- and we've intentionally avoided "padding" that list with friends and family.

Soon those numbers will be rising. We're going to start marketing in earnest very soon, and we have a lot of other plans for growing this news site. If you have ideas or want to help, use the links on this page and get in touch. Believe me, it's appreciated. -- David Gulliver
