separate addresses by comma

If April showers bring May flowers, then millions of Americans must have been busy with home improvement projects this spring, as more than one in three Americans used the Web to visit home and garden websites in May. Looking forward to summer parties and backyard barbeques led 73 million Americans to visit websites in the home and garden category during May.

Perhaps not surprisingly, the top two websites for these DIYers were retailers—the Home Depot and Lowe’s—which cater to these projects. Home improvement publishers like Better Homes and Gardens and HGTV’s website also attracted significant audiences, while Web publishers like iVillage and About.com rounded out the list of top sites in the category.
