\"\"<\/a>First, my apologies for the lack of updates the past few days, but it has been for a good reason.\u00a0 I’ve been excitedly preparing my site to take part in the official Countdown To Halloween!<\/p>\n

I first became aware of the Halloween Countdown idea through my pal Todd Franklin’s Neato Coolville site<\/a>, and his annual countdown.\u00a0 When I launched CollectingCandy, I knew I wanted to do something similar.\u00a0 But I soon found out that there was a whole community of Halloween Countdown sites, several more of which were run by other internet friends of mine.<\/p>\n

This annual event is now coordinated and run through the Official Countdown to Halloween site<\/a>:<\/p>\n

With all this in mind, I hope to present nothing but Halloween-related posts all month long.\u00a0 It’s going to be quite the challenge, but I hope it’s going to be even more fun.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I’ll begin, but today I’d like to unveil the new site banner I created especially for the month-long event.\u00a0 It’ll be replacing my standard banner right up through October 31st.\u00a0 I hope you guys dig it:<\/p>\n
