It was in the Bumblebee Shrine and was accompanied by the dedication "Voor Syl". It's been a great 10,000 candles. I'm looking forward to making room for millions more. http://blog.nshrine.com/2008/07/18/the-10000th-candle/ Thanks to all of you, nshrine.com is becoming a success.  To celebrate several minor milestones this week, I've made all current shrines advertising free for a week.  Those of you that have ad-free shrines already will have one free week added.

I've set up a sample ad free shrine to show what it looks like. As you can see, not only are the ads removed, but also much of the nshrine.com-related navigation. This of course comes with a ... http://blog.nshrine.com/2008/05/01/ad-free-shrines/ Though not entirely related to nshrine's development, I thought it might be of interest.
