MonticelloLive.com reached a new milestone, Sunday, when we received our 2 millionth “click” in a 6 month period.

In recognition of this accomplishment, MLive promoted a “Click, call, & win” over the weekend.

Keba Brown saw the “CALL NOW” post, Sunday around 7:30 pm; was the first caller; and won $100 from MLive.

Other recent accomplishments include having stories and photos picked up by ESPN (NFL DWI charge), CNN (DWI 3 & 4 case), Good Morning America (tornado damage), and all Little Rock TV news depts.

If MonticelloLive has looked different on your monitor, today, the best solution should be to update to IE9.

This link to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9 download page is safe and secure, and deals directly with Microsoft’s website.

This is just a case of technology advancing (like when they started selling only unleaded gasoline).
