Belated happy anniversary to Beard Revue!

all about beards made its first appearance on the web on the 17th of January of 1996. The site’s original objective was to promote beards in a positive manner. Thirteen years later, all about beards is the longest-running beard site on the web and the site remains dedicated to its original mission. We have come a long way, but there’s much more in store. With an eye on a bright future, our thirteenth anniversary year promises to be the best yet!
At 8:42 PM PST, the counter in the galleries hit the seven million mark! We hit six million back on October 22, 2008. I would have liked to hit seven million by the end of 2008. But I’m happy to start off this early in 2009 with such a great milestone. Keep viewing those great beards in the galleries!
So which photo was the lucky number seven million? Well, this time I was at the keyboard and was able to see which one it was. It was this photo of Andrew:
