Ok, about them changes.  I thought I’d take a little time and tell you what changes I’m making to this site.  None of the changes are drastic but they will enable me to have a more flexible site to build on now and in the future, so in other words, a lot of backend stuff that web designers deal with and would bore you.

Besides that, I’m hoping the site can help earn its keep.  It doesn’t cost much to keep the site running but there’s a lot more incentive for me to write articles and cover more events in the city, if the site can earn a few dollars here and there.  Gasoline isn’t cheap.  Basically I’m just adding some advertising – nothing obnoxious but some to help keep the lights on.  I’m hoping for Super Bowl commercial numbers but I’d settle for half as much.  Ha!

Of course content is everything and a blog isn’t much good if it isn’t regularly updated.  I was slacking on that part last year, mainly because I was concentrating on paying gigs and a home remodeling project.  I’ll try to keep it more up-to-date and hopefully the changes will help me do that.

I am also going to enable users to login using their Facebook account but I’m removing the Facebook comments for a couple reasons.  One, it was difficult for me to moderate comments, since they didn’t show up in my admin panel.  Two, most people would like to remain anonymous when commenting and I don’t blame them.  I wouldn’t want my mug showing up with every comment I wrote either, well actually my dog is my profile picture but…still.

There’s other tweaks and changes that I’m still kicking around in my head and I’m sure over the next few months more changes will be rolled out but hopefully it will all be good.  I have enjoyed the site over the past few years and thanks for sticking around.
