FINAL UPDATE: It looks like we may fall short of that 51,000 visit goal. Especially since that would mean almost 9000 visits in the next six and a half hours. Thanks for playing anyhow.

One week from today I’ll be turning 51. That’s right, 51. It’s time for you to show respect for your elders with gifts. Blogging kind of gifts. Here are some suggestions:

• Blogiversary Database. There are now over 150 blogs in the Blogiverary Database. If you haven’t done so already, please add your information. If you have added your blog to the database, have you added the code to your blog that displays each day’s celebrants? Will you? Thanks!
• Add bRight & Early to your blogroll!
• Click on the affiliate links (they’re at the top, under the Day by Day cartoon, and in the right sidebar, under the button that says “Support bR&E”), and buy something if it strikes your fancy. Or, get something from the bRight & Early store. Of course hitting the tip jar, over on the right in the side bar, is never discouraged.
• Advertise with bRight & Early. Among the lowest blogad prices in the blogisphere! Conversely, if you’d like to donate a blogad, send the information to lakelandjim at gmail dot com.
• You do know that it’s time for the 2006 Weblog Awards, don’t you? Hint, hint.

Any of those would be greatly appreciated, but the gift I’d really enjoy is the currency of the blogisphere — links and traffic. At the time of this post my sitemeter is sitting at 41,827 42,010. I’d like to see it over 50,000 and 51,000 would be very appropriate. That means an average of just under 50 over 84 visits an hour between now and next Sunday night. I’ll provide the content, you provide the links! What a deal!! Spread the word. You’ve got less than 184 107 hours.

In the immortal words of Jean-Luc Picard, “Make it so.”

NOTE: This post will remain on top all week. I’m not going to send out a mass email on this post, so I am depending on you to spread the word. Those who write a post and create a trackback to this post will appear below.
