Today marks an important milestone for westofthei.com.
We’re one year old.
A year ago Karen and I said we “are striving to make this site the ultimate source of news and information about Western Kenosha County.” That is still our goal. You are a big part of that. You contribute content or ideas for stories and that helps westofthei.com keep on top of all that is happening in our busy corner of the world. Thank you as always for your help. Our philosophy about what is worthy of placing on westofthei.com remains pretty broad — as long as it has to do with WKC. Our approach to community journalism has not changed: There’s no story too small for the big treatment.
Our traffic stats clearly show we have gained a lot of occasional and regular visitors over the last year. Thank you for counting on us to keep you informed.
We also need to thank our advertisers. Their support makes continuing westofthei.com possible. If you’d like to give us a birthday present, patronize our advertisers and tell them you learned about their services on westofthei.com.
Thank you, readers and advertisers alike, for all of your support over the last year. Looking back on all the progress we have made it is exciting to think what the next year will bring.
Congratulations Darren & Karen. West of the I is a great place to visit each day, or for that matter, any time of the day or night. You never know when a new story will break or post, as your ” News Paper ” is truely “our” Twenty Four Hour News Source.
Thanks Chris. You’ve helped us a lot. — Darren
Happy Birthday! Thank you for bringing local news on an easy to read daily basis.

I cannot believe it is only a year. Checking out the site is one thing that I do every morning, it seems you have been part of my everyday life a lot longer. I hope there are many more years to come.
