The kids at the Square are super excited today. Communication Arts is featuring our site as their “webpick of the day.”  This is really amazing recognition for a couple of reasons.

1)  Communication Arts is the largest international trade journal of visual communications.

2)  There are over 3 billion active web sites and over 1 trillion URLs registered.
