I have a question about tallying the points. I understand about page points but do you get a point for each item checked off? or just bonus points for the letters of the month.
so if
J- is one point then + the page points? say 350 pages. so this would be 4 points or 3 points?

Do you mean the overall points completed at this point written in this topic, or is there somewhere else I need to be documenting things?
