End of The Week Updates [11-18-2023]

                   It's time for the end of the week updates but before I get into it a little fun fact, 9 years ago today, Chris posted his first ever podcast on this very day. Very cool piece of CBOTW Media history on The Chris B. Podcast. That sure dates us way back in the day almost 10 years ago. Anyways the updates: 

Entertainment Man Podcast: Going back into the style this week for a change, the way Chris did these updates but he has recorded a pile of episodes for back on Wednesday and this Sunday. I believe he's got it scheduled to premiere on Sunday I think. I haven't looked yet. 

The CBOTW Show: As he has mentioned he; switch days with The CBOTW Show so it doesn't align with Entertainment Man Podcast's bonus as 3 is enough to stress him out, he's been trying to lower his stress levels. Speaking of that, he's officially now typing up the Power Rangers Podcast notes and finishing it up for a potential recording sessions this upcoming Thursday coming up. He's also decided to postpone Dino Fury till December 21st, 2023 but has to be discussed between him and Larry.

             That is the updates for the week. Other than that, he's readjusted the website a bit and my little sister Brianna has joined us helping us wherever we need her on the team. Also she can be found on our new shiny Discord Server. Have a great rest of your weekend and week ahead and I will be back on the normal Friday post for another end of the week updates.

End of The Week Updates [05-26-2023]

           Well another week or weeks has gone by and MAJOR changes to ChrisBOnTheWeb has happened over the last few weeks after I returned home 2 weeks ago but here is the updates:

Website Changes: As you probably noticed the colour scheme has changed to the original yellow, white, light blue with the black background. Even the menu bar has changed and as you navigate over the pages on the menu it goes navy blue with the white text which looks really sleek and cool. Big shoutout to Jim for the idea to put a little memory of the old colours we just change to. 

Discord Changes: As you know the Discord has been put under a ton of changes from the removal of Moderators to it returning cause of concern of trolls on the server if my team or myself are not around including my Admin as well. I have removed the polls due to the bot removed the module for the polls. Power Rangers Collab will be removed on July 1st from the channels on the server all together. VIPs been reset up and removed numerous times and now gone probably forever.

Entertainment Man Podcast: With me now back to work and trying to get content done, I am ready to go with interviews and the email is under the contact, please make sure to use entertainmentmanpod@gmail.com and serious requests as I have interviews cancelled on me and not rescheduled. It is frustrating for me as the Exec Producer/Host.

           Those are the updates and I told you there was a dandy amount of updates this week with this being the first week with end of the week updates for the first time in weeks since I have done one. Have a great weekend and I will speak to you all on Monday!

End of The Week Updates [12-16-2022]

              Not sure how Chris does end of the week updates but I am going to give it a go this week as he is still MIA and hasn't been returning messages all week long so he must gotten himself into a ton of work this week perhaps. 

Chris- I hope he returns on Monday to blogging as he's been off and away from the blog all week long but if not then I will be covering him for another week but hope to get a message from him this weekend on an update about that. 

Entertainment Man Podcast- What I have seen by his Tweets he has finished and wrapped up recording Entertainment Man Podcast for 2022 and now is on break along with Power Rangers Collab for recording wise. 

Power Rangers Collab- What I heard through the grapevine is Chris and Larry had a top secret meeting yesterday night about he collab so they must be cooking up a storm with ideas for the new year at this point. 

Website Updates- He was going to update the about section but we never got to it this week, maybe after the holidays we will sit down and do some revisions to it perhaps. 

Reminder of Holiday Blog Schedule: Dec 24th - 26th, No blog; Dec 27th - 30th, 2022- Normal Blog; Dec 31st, 2022 7 Jan 1st, 2023, No blog with blogs resuming on Mon. Jan 2nd, 2023.

            That is the update, we hope you guys have a great weekend and will see you around the CBOTW Community!

End of The Week Updates [05-13-2022]

                 On this Friday the 13th, it is time for an end of the week updates! A lot has transpired so without further ado, here are the updates:

Website: I have put Movie Collabs back under Podcasts and Archives, now have only two things in the archives since the After Show has been pulled completely from the site for a month and a half now. I also have removed the negative posts from the blog so the amount of blog posts are lower then it was yesterday. I felt it was time to remove the negative stuff off this website to be and show more professionalism. 

Entertainment Man Podcast: I have prepared and scheduled the podcast for Sunday to premiere at 1 pm EST on Sunday and I will be in the room to chat with you guys whether I am in my Mod account or Entertainment Man Podcast account or both? haha. Also you probably noticed on the channel and the Facebook a Live Stream event has popped up for next Wednesday and that is the BIG 100th Episode of the podcast that I have been promising for a while and I plan to stream to both platforms and hopefully this helps grow the channel even further. 

Power Rangers Collab: Well I have been slacking on this and already am on Ep # 2 and really pushing to get this out and back on track and already cancelled the anniversary but I am sure that I will be mentioning it June 2nd as I should be done by then and already on the next 2 seasons. Hopefully by end of July we will be back on schedule. 

Social Media/YouTube: All social medias and YouTube channel has grown nicely and really impressed how well it's growing again. I know the last few years, I have been stumbling with the growth but it is truly nice to see it growing once again.  

                 That is the update for today, hope you all have a great weekend and I will talk to you all on Monday which I promise you, I will have a proper schedule for you guys this time around as this week, I was all over the place but have a great weekend and talk on Monday and enjoy the podcast this weekend!

End of The Week Updates- Part 2 [04-23-2022]

                      Here we are part 2 of the end of the week updates. As promised I am to continue on and plus this gives a bit extra content for you guys in the process that needs to be mentioned with all the kafluffel with ChrisBOnTheWeb. 

Website: I updated the website and removed the following: Team Page, Partners has been removed. Schedule Page has been updated with the current schedule for the content and events for ChrisBOnTheWeb. The After Show With Amy F has been moved to Archives pending a removal from ChrisBOnTheWeb.com permantly removed off the website which may take a few weeks for me to decide and if you don't hear anything about it then I left it on the website all together but highly think I will be moving it. Support chat is back and a friend of mine is always in there if I am not in there whatsoever under CBOTWMod name which was still active on there regardless. 

Social Media: I have removed all post pertaining to the said podcast I said above of the hashtag and all posts have been removed and I don't care what anyone says cause that podcast is done for no apparent reason and I was going to post it regardless but they misconstruded what I said so it is what it is, I'm moving on to focus on with my content, Entertainment Man Podcast and the collab.

Power Rangers Collab: With me moving back on my own now fully next week I push into Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast more and I will have a  ton more time to work and focus on it now with one podcast down. So I am excited to work on Super Samurai and will get it done in time for late May so you guys can hear it. I also am working on this week the 4th anniversary podcast coming up with some cool ideas. 

Return To Studio: Next week starts a trial run of me seeing Larry in person and trust me you will see pictures of him and I together, will be for a lunch and see how we feel together again for the first time in just over 2 years since we have seen each other. This means our goal to him returning to studio in time for our 4th Anniversary Podcast is on track as long as cases do not rise and the mask mandate doesn't come back then we are golden for a return! 

                That is my final set of updates for the weekend, enjoy the rest of this weekend, get out for some fresh air, I know I will be and I will talk to you guys on Monday for the start of what will be another busy week for me and ChrisBOnTheWeb.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates [03-22-2021]

            Another week has gone by and a ton of different updates and what has been going around the Community so without further ado here are this week's updates:

Entertainment Man Podcast: There has been questions about why the Podcast still exists on the Audio ONLY Platforms and it will take him some time to get the Podcast removed off platforms and he already has removed the Podcasts.com feed as of the other day when he was uploading episodes for The CBOTW Show. We have Officially moved Entertainment Man Podcast under "Archives" as it's been a week since the last episode went up and we've moved over that feed under "Archives."

Website: With the website as I said, we have moved a couple of things into Archives and we have actually created an The CBOTW Show Archives and there is a reason behind this and in time you will know exactly what he is up to soon enough. I mentioned Entertainment Man Podcast above obviously. Also Chatroom Lounge of ours. I know it's been quiet on there and we haven't had much activity but after the behavior last night and now our beloved Site Admin, Charlotte has become depressed and you guys had to misbehave and be rude to her. I'm sorry to be a little out of sort but cause of trolls I had to fill in for her on my supposedly day off. So from here on out, if you wanna chat, you will have to sign up with chatango.com and/or login to the chat and moving forward we are not ever going to open the chatroom to guests ever again! We will require you to login from here on out, guests are no longer welcome due to the constantly trolling in our chat! 

The CBOTW Show: There is an announcement tomorrow or Tuesday I wanna make but cannot fit in and we're unsure if this change is permanent for the rest of the season or just temporary at this point for just this week, I do not know and we have to explore and figure this out.

              Finally, yes I gave our Site Admin the day off from the blog due to recent actions on our website and wish blogger had a way to ban an IP Address from the entire website but there is no way to do that and really do wish they had that tool on here. You guys had to put up with me today and always I will be back tomorrow with another post and please behave when commenting or using our chat. We do not wanna start taking away features due to abuse. Talk tomorrow,

Would Chris Really Move Website Providers?

               With the recent issues with the back side of the website which is fixed now and things seem to be fine with the website now but I know he went off on the Social's about the issues. I think more then likely it was to address the issues with the website and trust me he wasn't happy about the on going issues with the website. These are the two things that really ticked him off and kind of made him think about a free website again:

- Keywords not sticking: There was a problem when you entered the keywords it wouldn't remain in there. Not anymore anytime we put in keywords it seems to be fixed. For the last I don't know month or two or so that issue seemed to be the # 1 problem where we had to enter it not once, not twice but a few times.

- Blog posts Getting erased at the half way mark of the post: Every time we put in a post, we ended up losing half of the post so our posts were partially dumped as Chris put it technically which is why end of last week we ended up not posting on Friday and almost ended up not posting all weekend long but Google and Blogger seemed to fix the issue very quickly.

- Google Adsense suspending us: Apparently we were suspended for self clicking ads when all the staff and myself have ad blocker on 24-7 so we did not do that so we have ended up being suspended for 30 days which is fine because Chris has removed the ads code for now and he may just delete his adsense and find another way to earn money off the website but we'll see.


                 With all that being said, every thing is fixed and we are good to go again with posting and all the two issues we have been experiencing is fixed now on. When they updated the layout of the blogger interface it was very buggy and the recent fix has helped and every thing seems very normal again. So Chris is not moving websites. He has put in the long hours to the menu bar and working on perfecting the CSS code to the website and building numerous pages on the website and also building up on the viewership which is like 200 - 300 a day now which is crazy to be honest. Plus he is locked in with his domain for little over 3 more years so he cannot really make a move at this point and I think he will probably renew with blogger as it has been a reasonable price for the .com domain.

Website Is COMPLETED!

                 As you can tell with my recent post on social media, we have officially completed the website work. Every page is up and running and the entire menu bar is functional and working but just the menu isn't too responsive but it works at some point and going to start work in the coming weeks but honestly that is for my website admin to do as most of the work and design of the menu is complete. As you can see there are two Sections: 'Everything About Reality TV" which houses a ton of pages of podcasts we do.  We finally have our "Other Podcasts" which even includes Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast, Entertainment Man Podcast and the Archives of past podcasts. Trust me we can house more and you never know what is in-stored for the websites moving forward, new projects, new hosts. It took us weeks to get the menu to function and drop down but alas we got it working. Still a couple of bugs in it but in time we will get it working. You can use your arrows and it does help for now. 


                 During the construction phase of the page, noticed the number of views have been up lately which is truly a good thing. I looked at the pages and they all have gotten good views. The Hours we put in, the lack of sleep we have had to endured it was indeed worth the hours of hard work and dedication. I'm surprised this big project took us weeks and got it done. Took a lot of patience and we had a couple of bugs to iron out on the pages as it wouldn't save but that is besides the point as everything is now fine. I hope you guys enjoy the rebuilt menu bar that we worked hard in the last couple of weeks and we're excited for what is next for the website. Any issues, concerns or questions please contact is and we can answer any question or concern you may have.

Chris B On The Web Updates [05-11-2020]

                     I know I was going to start doing this but I have decided to keep it to the blog as usual and talk about other topics on Entertainment Man Podcast which I will talk about. There is a lot going on and emotions running high this week with this being Finale Week for us for Everything About Reality TV and again I will cover it. In this update, I will provide you guys the updates on everything that is going on with us and the website.

1) Website: This is the first crucial step for us and we have been so busy with other projects and this weekend myself and my website Admin were suppose to work on the website but got busy with family stuff and especially Mother's Day yesterday. However I worked a bit of it before bed last night and working on The Amazing Race Page to get that one completed. We currently have the Survivor, Big Brother and Big Brother Canada pages created and done and not sure if all of them are active as of yet but we will be checking soon as we finish both Amazing Race and Amazing Race Canada pages to ensure they are all active and running and with a post that it is indeed active on the website. Then we will be jumping away briefly to be working on Entertainment Man Podcast Page, then jumping back to "Everything About Reality TV" Podcast pages with Off Season Podcasts and 2 shows: "Music City CMT" & "Celeb Big Brother US" pages that were covered on the podcast. Then finally the archives page on the far right side. This will complete up the website page work and we will have an official announcement the site work is done. Right now you guys are working off the links page right now on www.chrisbontheweb.com/p/everything-about-reality-tv.html which is going to be eventually a discontinued page and will not be active on the website anymore.

2) Entertainment Man Podcast: As you guys noticed, the Re-Launch date for this podcast being weekly is June 1st, 2020 at 1 pm EST. The reason why is so we can finish up the site work and also fix any of the platforms the podcast may be on. So this can take up a few weeks of my time to get it fixed on any platform the podcast is on. I believe, ITunes, TuneIn.com, Player FM are all up to par and not sure about Spotify and I do not even think it is on Spotify and has been removed so I will have to put that on my list of platforms to put it on. Either way, I am close to the Re-launch but still a couple of things to do to ensure the platformsit's on and up to date as I never told em that I changed the RSS Feed as the main feed was originally deleted. Good News is I still have the episodes that I did record and are on the external hard drive of mine in storage.

3) Everything About Reality TV Podcast: As you know this is Finale Week for us and we will be on a bit of a hiatus. I wanted to say, we are recording an episode LIVE on our YouTube channel Wednesday night @ 11:15 pm EST to make it officially launched but having second thoughts as we will be on a hiatus for a while. I need to talk to Larry, Billy & Chris (Reality Teas) about doing some Off Season Content for both Video and Audio, Live and even video and Audio (Pre-Recorded) where I can either post it or even do a Premiere but might wait for Premieres for a while. Either way I need to talk to them and that is the reason we will be off air for a week or two to get things in order for what is next and hopefully we find something out Big Brother US Season 22 and Amazing Race Canada Season 8. 


                  There is the updates that I have for you guys and we continue to work on the site and content. I know I didn't mention Power Rangers Podcast but here is the thing as of today, I will be working on Time Force today and getting it on a role as July we are suppose to be recording and need to get watching this season and Wild Force if we are to make the Mid July target but when I got updates, I will give you guys more updates. For right now these are the current updates and what is being worked on and with extra time to really work hard on the collaboration Podcasts and get it ready for taping. Anyways I will see you in the next post tomorrow at our usual time.

Chris B On The Web Update [04-20-2020]

               I have some updates for you guys for today's post. I got some stuff to update you guys on and start with the team. I am guessing Larry is part of the "Staff" again as he's been involved highly especially recently with this pandemic and our studio in lock down. That is another thing that you guys knew we are still in lock down and when this is all done anyone that visits the studio out of the staff will have to bring their own ear buds or headphones. It will be like that for quite sometime after this is over but going to be cautious one way or another. Now Everything About Reality TV is doing well and as you will notice today I am doing weekly podcasts with a Survivor Winners At War Breakdown and rankings and honestly it was fun, I enjoyed doing it and really got into it and honestly it's different from the recaps and I can see myself doing this is a future seasons and never know I could even do it on video even tho I initially planned on Audio ONLY for those but it's Survivor and I think when we go to video, we will, I mean I will record it and premiere it when we are on YouTube this way you guys get to see it.  However back to what I was saying that we are nowhere near ready and been trying to search for the podcast on YouTube but nowhere near finding it and I know the trailer is up but it's unlisted as it will be seen by new visitors hence the reason the channel isn't found as we didn't start it yet. 


               Blog and the website doing well. Not as many views as last month but still over 2K which is still  a great number and that growth is there some months are better then others and last month the growth was insane. However with the blogs returned daily now shows we are continuing on the growth spur of the website. I think the fact we didn't post much and went to every second day for 2 weeks didn't help but I had to in order to get it done. I've been stuck with trying to watch Power Rangers Podcast and I said I was going to watch it but haven't been motivated to watch and with May approaching, I need to start catching up to speed on things if we are indeed recording in June which we are still determining what the plan is with the state of the world right now Either way things are doing well for us and we're progressing well and things are slow at times but also I have been working on things and trying to split things up and taking time for myself and really working hard on a daily basis and watching shows to get moving on certain podcasts but this week I am going to work hard once again. I think I am getting into a routine again.

I Never Told You Guys This!

              Last month, the website saw a brand new record as you know the website itself get between 2000 and 2600 views but last month we saw massive more amount. We saw 4000, yes 4k in views on the website which I didn't tell you guys this the other day when I made the announcement 2 days ago. Anyways it a lot of views within the month and I am quite impressed. I guess the next step is 5k in views? Who knows but I am not rushing anything really. Like the quote says: "You Cannot Rush Greatness" which is totally right and you cannot push the issue. However I have been working so hard on growing the website and even today when I just saw I was just tad below the 100 mark which means I have gotten views, so you guys are always checking to see if any new content is published on the website which is great! There is a few new pages that I did forget to mention The Entertainment Man Podcast and Archives Pages but you guys have found it I'm sure in the drop down. 


             However I am getting off topic, the growth on this website has indeed been impressive and let's just continue to keep on growing the website and bringing in new content to the website. I also am planning something else that will even bring the numbers up even more and yes I am referring to the Power Rangers Podcast as there is an announcement that I will be dropping on the blog on Sunday as both Larry and I have talked yesterday for about 20 minutes about this and I will be announcing it on Sunday. Anyways the point is this announcement will be a big move not for just Larry and I but also for the website which will be bringing in more numbers and even more growth to the website. So that is what is going on with the website and I know it's exciting that we have marked another milestone. There will be plenty more of milestones and this is only the beginning for the website.

Contact Page Has Been Updated!

           The contact page on the website here has indeed been updated. It was time for a long overhaul of the page. Now I used tables which you cannot see the lines due to the theme of the website at the moment but the tables are what I believe invisible as you cannot see em but gives it that cool effect and honestly it does a heck of a lot for the site too as it gives me the opportunity to goof around with the way the site looks and I honestly really cool and if you haven't seen it I did put a screenshot on the right hand side but you can check it out on https://www.chrisbontheweb.com/p/contact.html especially if you have to contact one of the podcasts. Honestly you can see that there is 3 sections that we have broken down the contact page into 3 different things:

Website and Blog: Main contact for the website or blog. Mainly I will be the one that answers that email as I am the Administrator to the website and run everything.

Everything About Reality TV Podcast: To Answer any questions related to the podcast and if you want to come on as a guest especially this season as we are about giving back to the fans but will get into that later on in the week about this. The ones that mainly will answer this is myself and Jasmine who is a producer on the podcast. I think I will get Jasmine to answer the emails for the most part but if they can't then I will be the one to answer it.

The CBOTW Show: The newest of the podcasts on our list; as you guys know, myself and Larry and not involved too much right now as Everything About Reality TV Podcast, so this will be to answer any questions, or concerns towards this podcast. The main person and I will be around if he needs he help that is Steven will be the main one to answer any emails about the podcast.


               So with saying that, the contact page is updated and excited were a team once again and any comments or concerns you can direct it to me or leave a comment but there is one other project that is planning to start but once I have confirmation then I will be adding them to the list for contacts as well. Again got any questions for us do not hesitate to get in touch as we would love to hear from you guys!

Stopped Working On The Menu Bar For Now...

            So you will be now wondering what the heck is going on with the menu bar project. Well I think for right now it is on hold at the moment. I have right now hit a snag in the menu bar. I got it setup perfectly but the drop down is the issue it is where it is the drop down. I do not know where the issue is, whether it is the CSS code or within the actually template but the template seemed to be the entire issue really and it will probably need to be figured out and I need some time to think about it and see if I can work something out and see if I can honestly figure it out. So right now I am just taking some time away to try and regroup and try to figure out something else out to what I would like to do but I do have some ideas. One of the ideas is a horizontal menu bar which has worked actually but did not really think about it but the menu wasn't being responsive and even the vertical it wasn't very responsive either so there is an issue with the responsiveness to the menu so I am just unsure to what the heck is going on but I am going to wait till I get more time as this week and next week I have quite a busy schedule with finishing up Big Brother Canada and Survivor Edge of Extinction Recaps for their respected seasons so after that I can work on that afterwards.


               I haven't completely given up on the project but I am planning on trying to fix it and it is a very fickle of project with CSS code and dealing with the infernal template on the website. However I will eventually figure it out and it is growing pains with the website and that is why I have a group of people helping me test it out but never mind on that.  Anyways we test and fix any of the bugs within the website. The website and the community is forever growing and with the growth comes those growing pains as the numbers on this website has been growing as I do not usually brag about this but almost 1900 views last month! So I can see why sometimes things are breaking on the website and maybe has a part of the menu bar partially broken or I broke the new menu and more then likely I broke the damn menu bar so I need to work out the kinks and I am sure it is something that is affecting the menu but I will not give up till I have this website fixed with it's new menu finally.


Oh and also May The 4th be with you! (Happy Star Wars Day)

Chatroom Idea Is Done & Website Updates...

                 There has been discussion between both myself and one of my Advisers for Chris B On The Web and it is clear, the chat is a no go. I had 2 individual's, which will remain nameless, but it is very much clear with the two both Billy and I couldn't continue to run a chat without help of Staff and Moderators within the website. I would of had Billy's help when he was free but other then that, It would be of just been him and I running things and I tried a chat for a few days and nobody really popped by, so I am making the decision that the chat is being pulled from the website. It is a tough decision to make but I think it's a decision that has to be made. If the chat isn't going to be active then why have it up and running? Right? It is the toughest decision I had to be made but I need pages to be generating views not getting 0 views. I am all about the views but I am all about listening to you guys the fans what YOU would like to see on the website. 


                    I think I want to focus on the CONTENT aspect of things and you guys can interact on the blog here which you have to login to comment as I keeping trolls off the blog post. Also Instagram and Twitter are another way to communicate with me or by emailing me via the contact page on here or the actual website when it does re-open soon enough. That probably is the most communication I can do with Social Media wise but my heart is set on focusing on the content on the website the blog. interviews and podcasts at the most. I am very much proud of what I have done to the newly built website and I ensure you it looks better then before. The Interviews and Podcasts pages have changed the way it looks now, it is more sleeker and I got rid of the black background but you will see when I open the site tomorrow for an open test during the day and you guys get to see what I did to change the website around. The website will be opening @ 10 am EST Thursday and will remain open up to 7 pm EST, when I will put it back into maintenance mode. The Re-Opening Date I am aiming for Monday, August 20th, 2018, 12 days earlier then expected!

Internet Provider The Cause of The Web Builder Not Loading???

                 After troubleshooting why I couldn't edit, I decided this isn't worth the stress anymore and I decided to pull chrisbontheweb.com down, due to these on going problems and I am currently working with a new provider to get setup for the remainder of the time I got on my domain chrisbontheweb.com. Just having a couple of issues right now I need to iron out and once that's done I will be at work building the site on the new provider, away from 000webhost. I think I figured out the problem with the builder but yet other websites and social media worked. Which scratches my head to why everything else works but the web builder on 000webhost doesn't work... Now I ended up having issues with social media and Big Brother Canada's website, but I removed the physical hard wire and it seems to work fine with the WIFI card within my PC, so I think the hard wire is fried and I need a new one or to attach the blue wire. What is the cause of this? Probably my internet as I have said on social media, so it is unknown if I am needing to have my IP Address changed up due to the problems I am having, I think I am going to make the call tomorrow. It wouldn't make a difference, the website is now down and I am moving forward.


                 So am I going to keep my word on what I said? Of course I am, but it may be months down the road when the domain expires but in the meantime you guys have this blog page as the main site for the blog and podcasts till I make the move over to the new provider in 2019. Either way, you guys got some kind of site to go to regardless until I make the switch over to the new provider by early 2019 and trust me it will be even better then the stuff we have had to deal with in the past almost 4 years of being with 000webhost. Actually more then 4 years, I believe I joined when Entertainment Man Productions  (aka The Video Projects Team) was still up and around and enough was enough and it was time to move on from 000webhost and onto a new provider that will be even better then what I had before. So welcome home to the and temporary website for Chris B On The Web until the move to the new site in early 2019 and a timeline will be coming in the very coming few months from now.

ChrisBOnTheWeb.com Is Back Up And Running Today!

               After 3 weeks of the that stinkin website down... LOL, it's back up finally and boy I had my concerns with it re-launching after quite the struggle with problems during the re-build process and it was an interesting experience working with problems left right and center but rest assure you, I never gave up at all and today marks 3.5 weeks of it being down is done... The wait is over, the site is up and running. In tonight's blog post I will highlighting and talking about the changes made to the website and why I made those necessary changes and also will be talking about what has stayed the same for the website.


               First the changes that were made to the website were the blog page which use to be under the tab "Blogs" which is no longer there, since I do not blog on the other website that offered me a spot but I pulled out due to circumstances. Next, I changed the contact page to an email address , due to abuse of the form and let me tell you, I think I honestly made a mistake putting that form up as it was nothing abused and spammed constantly so the email is directly on that page so I took some action towards it and I decided to pull the form off and replacing it with the contact email, hoping this abuse will stop and I think it will as I can block email addresses when there is abuse. So I got the full power. This also includes I got the power to "IP Ban" people who wanna be abusive within the website. I will not tolerate and I hate to bring this up on here but enough is enough. This website outage came at the right time, so I, the website owner or admin of the site can make things better, improve the quality of the website and I think I did that very well.  My image at the top of the website next to the banner and also the "About Chris" page image was also changed to that same image like the top of the website. Also updated my Bio on the About page to recent information and easier to understand then before. 


               What is staying as it is? Well first of all, I am leaving the podcasts. interviews under the On-Demand tab if you roll your mouse over top On-Demand when the website re-opens tonight it will pop up with interviews, if you roll interviews it will list the interviews I have done and so forth, so that hasn't changes whatsoever.  Home Page still the same, but other then that a lot of changes and tweaks made to the website has been made and trust me I am excited to see what you guys think of these changes that have made and hopefully this makes things easier for not just me but you guys as well! 

Have a great Afternoon!

ChrisBOnTheWeb.com Update

            It has been a crazy last 3 weeks since ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and I found out there was problems in the back end of things with the server the website is on having a few issues, also the website builder had some malfunctioning going on, then the website going to sleep when it usually is down for the hour every night at 3 am EST, which I had to deal with that in the afternoon, which made have some doubts, if I should re-open the site but I promised you guys I wouldn't lay down and die on this website. I work everyday to ensure it is running smoothly and come November, change will be coming for ChrisBOnTheWeb.com as we transition to a new provider and one provider only not a domain with the domain provider and then the web builder, I got one lined up and excited to be moving over in late 2018, early 2019. 


             I admit, my stress levels haven't been great lately but you have to admit, you have to give me credit when credit is due, I am a fighter and I have fought to the end to get the website back up and running and being a success again, like it was when it was running smoothly for months on end there since September of last year. and I hope it will be like this by come March, the site will be on a steady pace to success because the amount of site visitors tells me people love my website and people are always popping onto the website. 4 days from the time this post goes up tonight, 4 days and counting till the website goes back up online once again and I am ready to have this website be the talk of social media once again.


             Honestly I wish this didn't have to take 3.5 long weeks to get back up but "great things come, to those who wait" or "patience is a virtue" and you guys have been nothing but showing your love and support with these last stressful last 3.5 weeks of hell for me and this wait will be well worth it. Not only I re-coded the entire website but I tweaked 2 pages and two of the graphics. The first thing I changed was removing CBOTW Blog from the Blogs tab and CBOTW Blog now stands alone compare to what it was at the start of 2018. Also the contact page, due to "spam" and "threats" I have now provided you guys with the contact email which I do have the power to block emails if people wanna abuse the email system again. Finally as I stated on "Social Media", I have changed the top picture of me to the picture for 2018 but also changed the image on the About page to the current image as well so this way everything is now up to date. Again you have to give me credit, when credit is due and I have come a long way since the start of running this website under the domain and learning how servers work and I think I am doing an amazing job and I am sure you guys are proud of me! 😄

No ETA on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com Re-Opening (I'm Sorry...)

             Today's blog I would like to touch on a few things this afternoon as I know, there has been delays with re-building the website at this time and I understand you're frustration. Like I have said on social media, it's definitely growing pains my website has been experiencing and this year is officially the year of growth and I am excited to see what the future brings for ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and as you know I am planning on moving over to a different web builder with the domain, once the domain expires then the move begins to the new web builder and will have to build the website again.


                  But this is not about the future of the website, it's more I at this time do not have an ETA to when the site will be back up and running, but please note I am working on it, just been running into problems, left right and center with the web builder servers going down the other day. Trust me I am eager to move to a new and more effective provider in late 2018, early 2019. But I ensure you, I am working on the website each and everyday, my website is growing and with growth comes growing pains and that is what my website is currently experiencing at this time even while it's down and the website is being rebuild. 


                    Now will there will be changes to the website? Yes! CBOTW Blog will be back as a single page not under a drop down menu like before as I am currently only blogging on the website due to me dropping the other blog last year after a short time with them. Also the contact page, the form will be removed due to abuse last year of making false statements and threats so the email will be provided to contact me in an email, so this will cut back the number of abuse within the website. On Demand Feature will remain as it is, the Everything About Reality TV will be the main feed for the active season of Everything About Reality TV with Archive Page being the page for the Archives for the podcast. 


                     Is there an ETA for the website being released? Not at the moment. It is a lot of work, the site is very much very complex with the amount of archived episodes of Everything About Reality TV, 90 episodes to this day have been archives, so to re-code and add in all the archives, it's not easy task at hand and plus you guys know I am on my own with working the website, blogs and the podcast, so it is tougher to get things done at a faster pace. Once the website is done, I gotta do some BETA testing make sure the bugs are not on the website to where there will be problems but you guys can contact me if you notice a bug on my website. I will do an announcement blog post to when the website will go live and I have more information. 


Have a great night!

Website Update & Announcement (11-13-2017)

                I cannot delay this anymore then I have since the end of October but here is my Announcement and Website announcement I have been holding off almost a month now and it will not be a very long winded announcement:


                So as you may know ChrisBOnTheWeb.com has been suffering a lot with problems on the server side of things and now the website going to sleep at 3 am EST every night which you don't really notice it but my theory behind it is a website is suppose to be up and running 24 hours, 7 days a week and it only runs 23 hours, 7 days a week which isn't right so with that I am moving the site with a new provider next year once the domain expires and will be getting it with 000webhost themselves well Hostinger24 who are partnered up with 000webhost but next year I will be changing everything over with them officially as of a year from now so the website will be running very smoothly then it has been in the last year. Website is the last stage of the re-build for Chris B On The Web.


               2nd announcement for Chris B On The Web is as of Mid December (next month) I will be taking a small break till mid or late February from Everything About Reality TV Podcast in the way of TV Show recaps because my head has been going non stop and I just need a mental break from the podcast. This however don't mean I will not be doing off season podcasts on this podcast because I will be recording and posting em up every week or every 2 weeks up on the Audio ONLY feeds so you can get your fix of Everything About Reality TV Podcast so the feeds will still be very much active during the break from recapping the shows we all love to watch! This don't mean I won't be watching Celebrity Big Brother US because I will be tuning into the show regardless! 


                3rd and final announcement: In the New Year Larry and I will be doing the CBOTW Presents: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Talk and it will be split into parts, PT 1: Season 1, PT 2: Season 3, PT 2, Season 3. Also I have an interview lined up for the spring with a good friend and long time real life friend Jeff. Also the 100th Episode of Everything About Reality TV Podcast is in the very near future and excited to be recording the 100th episode in the New year at some point but that will be decided when it gets closer to the 100th episode. 


                That is what is to come for podcasts and what the plan for the website for ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and I thought Chris B On The Web was a sinking ship but it isn't, it's slowly coming together, week after week. Don't think I am not working hard because I sure am!

Had To Pull Out of An Event & So Much Is Going On Right Now!

          First of all this really stinks! So much going on for Chris B On The Web, setbacks after setbacks, after setbacks. First of all what do I mean by this? Well, I had to bail out of an event due to the ink cartridge suddenly dying and it would cost me a bit of money to get replaced. It is the little things that is draining my money to get ready for this event and I feel so bad  for bailing out but I pretty much ran out of money on the budget, so I kind of screwed myself over in the process. That is how bad things are going for me at this point of time.

          The next thing is as you know "CBOTW" has no more group since people aka haters wanna report my posts as "spam" when it isn't spam, I am posting information for people to know what is going on with Chris B On The Web and I have my ideas who it could be and I am not letting the haters get the worse out of me either. My primary focus now is Twitter and Google Plus and as you know I only post up on Google Plus the most important things as Twitter I can post what I want but not like messages by the second, I try to space out my posts by a few minutes. So one less social media I have at this point of time. Yes I am not one bit happy with the fact that I lost my group to wrongful reports of spam when it wasn't spam. I should of kept it a private group this way nothing got reported and would of been only the members that could report as if the group was totally a secret to my friends nobody can find it or post so I should of done that, but I wanted it to be available to all the fans out there. I should of really known better.


            Finally is the icing on the cake to all this bullcrap in the last 12 hours or so is my website sub menu deciding to not work and we all know it is the web builder. The good news the sub menu problem has been fixed but the website will need to be re-build so this means more work for em and the list is on and on and on of stuff to fix, pretty much I gotta fix the mistakes and I am actually improving the way Everything About Reality TV will be in the way of feeds, as you know I have to transfer feeds each and every season which isn't a problem but thinking of having the one feed for each season that would be the only one to be updated this way there isn't too many pages to click on but yet I am quite content with the way it is right now but it is an idea but you guys are use to the current state of the feeds and how it goes but there is always room for improvement but at this point. That is my update and there will be another blog post later on today to talk about the Ukrainian/Polish Festival I went to yesterday.
