Website Changes Galore!

            As you can tell, we have updated the website and here is more details on the changes.

Removed: After Hours with Shane and Chris ended before it began due to tech issues but you guys knew that but that page has been removed. The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Get involved is removed and down but it will be returning in the spring to expand our network. Chat has been removed due to inactivity and just better we use social media.

Updated: The FAQ (Frequently Asked questions), Meet The Team, Entertainment Man Podcast, The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies, Community Schedule (for content.) Archives have been updated on our website to assure the entire website is totally up to speed.

Re-Added: Well added wise, we re-added events to the list but under it's own page called "Events" and can be found there and is active. We also re-added "The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recaps" as it is becoming an active show on our network.

         I know it's a ton of updates and hopefully we can leave things alone minus updating the podcast pages as shows come through the week and are posted but for now that is the post for today and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Goals for 2026!

              Since we are now in 2026 it is time to specify our goals for 2026. Remember what I said on the second last motivational Friday start with small goals then go for the bigger ones, split up the goals into small ones:

Entertainment Man Podcast: Take a crack at mine and you guy's favorite podcast and try and regain your trust for just ending it with no notice nothing. 

The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies: Continue to collaborate with Bob and some other people, possibly even doing more Ghostwriter with Larry perhaps depending when he is ready to record again.  Also Dancing with the Stars Podcast with Mary is in the works as long as the show gets renewed. 

After Hours with Shane & Chris: Really take off with this new talk show and still possibly stream it to a site but not sure where and how at this moment. If not then record and post it on Saturdays @ 3 pm EST.

Hit 2 Million views! I know this is something I'd like to get to and we are currently closing in on that milestone. 

Collaboration: Would love to continue to collaborate with people and could bring back the Collaboration Podcast that would be website based even just as a collaboration perhaps. 

Finally get paid: We have been with adsense and we really hope and wish that we would start getting payments from Adsense as we need to hit the cap in ordered to be paid. 

Drama & Stress Free Year: This year I would like to have just 1 year without stress, problems and dramarama as that hasn't helped my mental health but besides the point. I want to remain focused to our goals to continue being successful.

Anyways those are our goals for 2026, once again Happy New Year, enjoy your weekend and as always talk to you all on Monday!

Utilizing our website and More!

                For those who have been wondering, I've been sick and have had this news for quite some time and you guys probably have seen the chatroom on our chat tab by clicking "chat" and you can easily access the chatroom and I am usually in there pretty 24-7 with the exception when I'm out on my own or with friends or my family or I've stepped away from the desk or recording a podcast with someone, I am pretty much around unless I'm out and about or recording. 

             So this is why the website has been undergoing a lot of changes to prepare it for major use as of 2026 as we want the website to be more active and we may actually add Saturdays to the blog list. We have also been actively seeing if we can do audio with After Hours with Shane and Chris and I know we can as that is what we've been doing with all our podcasts from the get go. So you will see Staff on the website chats more, we will be answering emails and social media posts and our plan for 2026 is to be more connected to you guys, answering your questions, concerns, compliments and what not. Anyways that is the blog a bit of a sporadic blog as I wanted to come on and I will explain more on a sit down video where on earth I've been the past almost week now and I will talk to you all on Monday (tomorrow) if this goes out by Midnight EST.

Thanks for tuning into our 2500th Blog post! Let's go! 

Chris

Change of Plans!

            As you can know I was planning to add video but that has changed as I am only uploading the audio only for this podcast as seeing the views gone up, I have decided to remove the video side of things and put it up on via the player on our website moving forward. Once this is done, we can officially move the heck on. I also will be OFFICIALLY deleting the feed once all old episodes are downloaded off the feed.

      Once that has been completed, then we are ready for the future and during the break from recording, I will be finishing this project up and when I said I want to have this finished by January 1st, 2026, I meant it! I just want to put this podcast to rest. Yes it was a fun project/podcast/show but it was time for me to move on to bigger and better things. Anyways that is the post for today as I have a ton more to write before the end of the year and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

Hope to have the website updated by end of the year!

           I really hope to have the website done, done by the end of this year as there are some things I need to complete:

Entertainment Man Podcast: Yeah that has been put on hold yet again and it can be done at anytime and I spoke about it on the blog earlier in the week about adding the Spotify Video and it really has proven the viewership. 

Get Involved: As Zoey said I am going to do the archives like page but it will be different then what we have with our archives it will have an explanation with where to go for to GET INVOLVED. It is very hard to explain but it will once it is done. I am still working on the concept behind it while I work on Entertainment Man.

          These are two major current projects I need to get done and I believe that I will actually get it done by end of 2025 and ready for 2026 moving forward. I just wanted to do this post and I will have another post this afternoon @ 1 pm EST for the Tyrone Parade of Lights so I will talk to you all then!

Chris

Website- Phases

              This is the phases when it comes to the pages being completed one at a time:

The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies: This is the first page being completed as this is a current and active podcast and this page needs to be completed in a timely matter. Status: Project Almost completed

The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recaps: The second page to be worked on as it isn't currently active at the moment. Status: Current, Awaiting work being done. Should be done in the same day as the TV & Movies.

Entertainment Man Podcast: The final page out of the 3 that needs some updates with the player and will be the longest project to be completed. Status: Awaiting work being done

           There is the list not a lot but it takes time to work on but eventually I will get to it done at some point but for right now, I work on the first two then move on to the other one and Entertainment Man is in archives so it isn't mandatory and I can take my time on it. Anyways that is the post for today, have a great weekend and talk to you all on Monday!

Chris

Been working on website stuff!

              I have been dabbling with the website a tiny bit and it will be done next week once all the podcasts pages will be worked on and we will get all the players but as I said it may take us a while to work on all of this so please do be patient. We will keep the current players on the episodes till we reach that particular point of working on it. However this may take weeks maybe month or so perhaps. It is hard to tell but been dabbling around with the site trying out new things including layouts and what not. 

           I haven't posted the changes but just been working around on things and that's OK if I am doing that but letting you guys know I have been dabbling around the site so you may see a couple of changes and there will be more coming but one step at a time. This week is catching up on episodes recording and editing then next week we go into the next phase of things. But anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Podcast Pages Players back to it's Original Player!

           This is in preparation mode as we are seeing what we need to switch back to the old players and if I remember off the top of my head Everything About Reality TV & Power Rangers Collaboration which is in our Archives have the old players already placed on the page but we will check when we start adding back in the old players. We may have to upload some episodes or a bunch of them as we did take a break from that player but that's OK though. 

          We will explore everything and see what needs to be completed and it will be released at the same time once it has been completed. If you see some pages that are already done don't be alarmed, we will announce once all the work is completed. This shouldn't take too, too long honestly.  Once I get started in replacing the players, I should get into a good rhythm and it will be completed quickly but I need to work on some things first for next week or so, please be patient but that will be it for the second blog. I'm sorry no blog yesterday, was out of town and no time to write anything and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Have Been Making Some Changes to CBOTW Media...

           The decisions that we have made has been good decisions:

No More Kick: I have gracially RETIRED from gaming streaming and regular casting sites to focus on the podcasts which we now have 3 running and I will talk about that tomorrow with the schedule being revamped moving forward with an even better schedule.

Entertainment Man Podcast: The beloved podcast makes a return to the airwaves after a month of being off for a shortened 7th season with it returning for an 8th season in January 2026. The podcast will remain on Audio ONLY moving forward.

Discord: Revamping everything and reviewing the rules of the server including our roles on there as well and how we continue to do things till I am happy so it's an on-going project at the moment. We've been dealing with a ton of spam on our server at the moment.

Website: The website has been updated numerous time and we are merely doing that till we are ready and at this moment we are on track for January 2026 of our 3rd podcast in our network that is being added. 

           Anyways those are the changes and I hope you have a great night and I will talk to you all in the morning for another blog post.

Chris

Website Re-Adjustments Continue...

         Archives are being reversed back to the old ways and we have deleted the 10th anniversary off our website and is no longer in the back end of the website at this point. Anyways we are eliminating anything that isn't necessary and our 10th was just about a year ago and our focus is on the content. That is the most important thing to us moving forward as content is key to our success and it has shown, look at the numbers for the month of September as we're over 100,000 views and it shows.

      Now we have moved "Archives" from the "Community" tab to the "Podcasts" tab. Why, you may ask and the reason behind it to fill a bit of a void as it looks bare and it is more fitting place for the archives that are now only focusing on archives for our former podcast shows. Small tidbit how this is possible and it is done with a table. It's amazing how simple coding can make things look really cool! Anyways, I just wanted to let you guys know of these major changes, even if it isn't really major but it is change. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

100k for the month of September! [Record Breaking!]

           History in the making! In the almost 11 years of operation, we have never had just over 100k (100,000) views on our website. It means, we have done things correctly and we continue to grow each and everyday and continue the grind together as a team. We've started to get a good rythm going and gotta keep going with that rythm moving forward. 

          We're also at 1.5 Million on our website and it's crazy to see this number and it is you guys we want to thank for the love and support you guys have given us over the years. I am not surprised by the massive growth on our website and yes we have some growing pains with shows being cancelled left and right but we are going to work with what we have with The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies then add in After Hours with Shane and Chris or Chris and Shane, that hasn't been confirmed yet but slowly growing.Anyways that is the post for right now and I have a second post coming out this afternoon and probably a video from here in our studio. 

Chris 

Changes Made to the Website [Another Major Overhaul]

           The website went under another overhaul to erase anything even two of our podcast pages needed updates was Entertainment Man Podcast & The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies but other than that, content schedule, about our company, Frequently Asked Questions all got a major overhaul. We are going all in with the website. I have decided to bring back the coaching as well for a second try and it will be extra income to our company and to give back and help you guys get started or help you with any struggles you may have. 

           We are going ALL IN with ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and this is something we should of done sooner. We should of not returned to YouTube after last year. Because this year we have grown massively and let's say our time on the platform has come to an end finally. We've been on the platform since January 31st, 2008. It is time for us to grow our network and expand on our horizons and why it was necessary we do one final sweep of the website before we start moving on new episodes and we did it in a timely manner. Anyways that is the post for today, hope you enjoyed it and as always, I will talk to you tomorrow.

Chris

Website is Completed!

              With all the craziness here at ChrisBOnTheWeb Media, we have completed the entire website. It is a lot better and easier to navigate and understand our schedules and what not. A lot of pages have been updated and it is a lot easier. I regret cramming everything together to be quite honest. I like simple and ChrisBOnTheWeb Media isn't simple as their is so much that goes into the day to day operations of the company and how we get everything done and one of the reasons I hired Julia which you guys didn't know as I have been hiding it since October but the cat is out of the bag. However, we have been working like a cohesive unit lately and have worked together as a team. 

           This is why things have been done in a timely manner and we are getting things off our list one by one and remember what I said on the podcast (Entertainment Man), "Teamwork makes the dream work." Something I totally live by and always use this lingo all the time because teamwork does make the team work. We have also found our groove and we are moving very quickly and have been making better "business decisions" which before it hindered our day to day decisions. I have learned so much as the Founder/CEO of this company over the years with lessons and why I have shared it with you guys on my podcast, "Entertainment Man Podcast." Website is finished and we promise to keep it updated on a daily basis and not let it get to the state it was in and bugs or misspells please do contact us @ cbotwbiz@gmail.com. Have a great weekend and as always I will talk to you all on Monday!

Chris and I Made a Decision!

              This is referencing our community chat if you go https://www.chrisbontheweb.com/p/chat.html We have a chatroom and it's just been there, we've not even mentioned the chat whatsoever but it is in the corner, well more like in the Community Tab at the bottom of the list. Chris I think he fixed it late last night. Chris and I are not removing chat yet again but we are doing it for security reasons due to some late night trolls on the chat, but as of 11 pm EST every night we will be locking chat as no anons (meaning no guests) as we cannot monitor that chatroom 24-7 we have work to do and our personal lives as well so it is not fair to always have it open to the spam. 

             The other decision we've made is with this website is to remove both embedded Calendly links as it is a route for trolling to happen when we take our jobs very, very seriously while having fun. Chris taught me that lingo actually recently, plus it was gathering up too much room on the website, so we just pitched the pages into the trash drop down menu and deleted it permanently from our website. So we've been very productive today, I am surprised he's starting to work again but it is nice to get back to some normalcy. Tomorrow's post I want to talk to you guys about is some of the games he's going to be playing and updating next week when he jumps back to blogs on Tuesday since it is Family Day Weekend here in Ontario so I will chat again @ 11 am EST tomorrow.

ChrisBOnTheWeb.com on The Move Again....

              Yes! ChrisBOnTheWeb.com is back on the move yet again. We have been maneuvering everything around on the website and some of the pages have made no sense and the drop down menus have been changed and I am still not happy with the amount of items and it really cannot be helped honestly but it is there. We also maneuvered enough room for a chatroom here on our website. Yeah it's a bit hard to cram a lot into the one website but I wanted to level up the website a bit more and add it as a feature. 

             We are always tweaking things on the website and I believe we are in a good place now. Especially now that both our (TOU) Terms of Use & (FAQ) Frequently Asked Questions has been updated we are more then ready for the next step and that's getting old and new content out. I know we've not uploaded old stuff and we're sitting on a studio update. Too much happening all at once. But that is the blog post for today and I will talk to you all at 11 am EST for a second blog post as I'm making up for yesterday but talk to you all then!

Chris

Reversed Course a Tad Bit!

                 As you probably have noticed that The CBOTW Show has been brought back up and running. I cleared out some of the pages and still working away on Entertainment Man Podcast and hoping to get it done and we are currently working on other podcasts but we are really trying our hardest to get it back. As you know the archives has filled up a little bit more with the anniversary schedule now listed in our archives by clicking the images on that page. 

                So we kind of have gone back course with splitting the two between Movies and TV Shows and has at the end of the links: "Recaps" since it takes over a week to get the old links back as that's part of their system with Blogspot or blogger apparently and that's honestly OK. I am happy with it actually. I think separating them was the best move that we could do but we have reversed a bit of course with the projects we are working on but continue to try and finish up projects as we go on. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow for another post.

Chris

End of The Week Updates [11-15-2024]

           What a crazy week especially with our 120th anniversary now have wrapped up. The first update I'd like to give is the 10th anniversary schedule has been removed and posted to archives as we are now transitioning out of tenth anniversary and now moving forward with the next phase of ChrisBOnTheWeb.com which is the slow removal of the 10th anniversary tab which will be down by January 1st, 2025. 

          Chris had Larry on Entertainment Man Podcast and that will be up on audio only. Chris wants to get Entertainment Man Podcast page back up and running by the end of this weekend. Also by the end of the week the podcast with Bob going to be up by end of the week as he wants to get the feeds active once again and running so we can get back to some normalcy around here. Last update I have is Chris has once again been messing around with the new schedule in 2025 so I do not know when he will announce it but it is coming soon. I am sure in the coming week or so I'm sure he will give us the update soon. Those are the updates for the week. If I have anything further I will let you guys know. I will chat next with you all.

Sara

P.S. He will be announcing the` schedule next week at some time.

End of The Week Updates [11-09-2024]

             As we are getting closer to the end of the year, Chris wants to finish up as much as the website work as he can. He has decided to keep the pictures up and is planning in December to update it with recent photos from the past year before it's put into archives at the end of the year and the 10th anniversary tab will be gone in 2025. Entertainment Man Podcast continues to be posted on Audio as you guys know YouTube is not an option for us anymore due to Chris being harassed. I mean he works long hours, even not as CEO anymore. I give him credit when credit is due and that is now. Back to "Entertainment Man" right now it is on other platforms, iTunes, he has to work on bringing it back to Spotify as they removed it for some strange reason. 

             I think hes gonna check both podcasts and see and maybe switch out the accounts perhaps for it but we'll see. Website and podcasts updates are coming next week possibly Tuesday could be Wednesday depends if Castbox helps him fix the issues but next week is supposedly the last week for no The CBOTW Show. I've been made aware of a schedule changes for the podcast for 2025 which is a bit a wacky schedule and he's figuring it out. He's still messing with the scheduling and I do not know what he is thinking. Once we know exactly what he's thinking we will announce it to you guys and I think he will keep it as it is with the expansion of Entertainment Man Podcast once again. Anyways if we need to expand the schedule we can but enjoy the rest of your weekend and talk at the end of next week.

Sara

Website Updates!

               We have been so busy with this very website, updating it, getting things back online due to some issues with one of our providers. However archive.org is back online so we have now lowered our amount of work that needs to be done on our website. Real only thing that needs to be done is something on the get involved. There hasn't been an update on our list of our phases as we have gone off our actual schedule but I can officially say we are back on track. Here is what is left to complete on the schedule:

Phase 4: Entertainment Man Page- Switch the audio only players to the ones from Podbean. Timeline: End of November

Phase 5: Put 10th anniversary into archives one Midnight hits. Timeline: Midnight January 1st, 2025.

Phase 6: Launch the get involved page for The CBOTW Show and get people involved with the team and community. Timeline: May 2025

               We kind of got of sidetracked with changing players but it is for the better good of the project. Coming along slowly but surely and half to the full completion of the overhaul of the company's website. Anyways that is the blog for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Starting More Work Tomorrow on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com!

                I know I have talked about it last week but tomorrow I will be starting to work on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com some more. I know the phases sort of stopped for now but I will be getting back into it in November as we will be shifting things around on our website after 10th Anniversary events. I know we are busy 24-7 and we never seem to stop to have fun. I want to stream but haven't had the time to lately. Kind of why the schedule is currently random at times.

                 However this is all good news because I have struggled with having Entertainment Man and The CBOTW Show pages down for what now feels like a week and it has been a week now since the on going issues with archive.org. So tomorrow I am going to spend some time on Entertainment Man Podcast page done tomorrow. Then back to watching movies for The CBOTW Show next week as it's our final week for Halloween as we will be off for 2 weeks and considered just taking a break for the month of November from The CBOTW Show as it's really starting to become an unscheduled show. For The CBOTW Show's podcast we will be working on it sometime in the first week in November. Still pending if we are indeed merging the Reality TV but we might just do it and we may end up just bringing The CBOTW Show over to podcasts.com and just wait out the wait on it. We'll see but anyways I will talk more about that tomorrow on another post when I return home from my mini vaca or overnight trip.

Chris
