ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Update [02-08-2021]

 Another week has passed by and there has been a ton of stuff going on and one you can see exactly with the image at the left side. I want to start with The CBOTW Shows you can see there are a ton of shows that have been added and 2 shows I wanna highlighted is the addition of Big Brother Australia and Australian Survivor with our Host, Chris who lives in Australia. It is indeed very exciting. Yes Power Rangers is on the list along with Survivor US, Amazing Race, Amazing Race Canada, Big Brother & Big Brother Canada. We've got it all on our list and our network is getting very hectic and hectic is good. We still gotta find a host for Amazing Race and Amazing Race Canada but that will be when we get closer to a new season but right now it is on Hiatus. As you know Power Rangers Podcast has been put on Hiatus and sent to the side for the time being as Chris feels like he has to get the podcast network rolling a bit more. He is working on intros right now is an priority at this moment.

                      So much has been happening with our network and we're busy around the clock and we or Chris hopes to start working on Dino Thunder this week and get back into a schedule so we can get back on the right track for things. Now with the website went back to the original menu bar and we've tweaked it time and time again and as you see the image above there is "The CBOTW Show" "Podcast Network" which hosts which platforms we're live and pre-recorded during the week. Finally we also have Other Podcasts for Audio ONLY and also the Archives for former Podcasts. This is the updates for the week and enjoy your week and I will be back next Monday for another post.

Start of An New Era!

             This is definitely a start of a new era for ChrisBOnTheWeb & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. I know you guys are use to the 7 days a week but like I stated with the post I did on the weekend that we are currently losing viewers on a daily basis and also the ideas are not there anymore hence the reason why we are slowing down on posts and it is logical solution to this very problematic issue. Since the end of last year I noticed this. So I will tell you guys the blogs are Monday - Friday which opens the doors for the return of The CBOTW Show podcasts coming back both Reality TV section and the TV Show Section as well. With this change we will have a ton more time to actually to work on fixing this website as the views have been down lately on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and maybe this is because it goes out way too early? This why I am making the changes to try and gain the followership back?

            Anyways time will indeed tell when things get back with the views and with this post going up at 6 pm EST, this might just be the right time to post up a blog as everyone is home or even at 3 or 4 pm EST. I am excited for what's next and like I said this gives me time to work with my Site Admin and help her on big decisions for the next version of this website as we're always tweaking the website quite often. All we wanna do is make sure it is up to date with this new project taking off, I got a ton more time to actually work on the content and we've got more time to improve the quality of the website. There is more information but you all have to wait till next week. Here is to a new start in this NEW era for CBOTW and plenty more to come in the near future. I wanna talk more about the website on tomorrow's blog post so stay tune for that. It'll be up on time tomorrow, I promise!

Old YouTube Videos Are Not Being Posted...

            Since the announcement of the recent changes with the website, we have come to an decision to not upload videos from his old YouTube channel at this point. I think it is just better to actually not bring something back that ended 4 years ago. The past is the past and now we wanna focus on the podcasts and there could be a dedicated website for that technically but you never really know to be honest. This decision became a most definite decision adding in the Live Tab being added to the website and the growth of this website and to be honest with this addition it's really helped out as we've seen ton more views per day on the website so that helps us a ton in the long wrong and gives Chris the mollah on the website. I think focusing on a podcasting part with the blog is definitely the right move for him and the rest of the team moving forward.

             I know that CBOTW has returned to YouTube and growing rapidly fast now and apparently we're showing up in their algorithm but this time it's different, we're focusing on the podcasts live compare to regular videos on the platform so there is a difference. I know we were banned that never happened here in the studio, it was elsewhere and it is unfair to Chris especially but another post for another day from him and I will be sure to tell him. So the YouTube videos however are saved and he has put them on his 1 TB (terabyte) and you never know with him, he may end up putting it onto DVD down the road. You never really know with him to be honest, like Big Brother "Expect the unexpected."

Website Progressing Well!

              Well we have come a long way from the start of this project. Chris and I thought it would take weeks months to create the entire new menu bar, add pages and what not. I have today, created all the new pages, that special side project and I can say I am finished with that and all we have to is upload what we have planned with it.  Now the next step is I re did the entire archives for the podcasts and is active at this moment.  Also "The Team" and "Frequently Asked Questions" have been created and will be the first thing released when the new Menu Bar is being released which will be in the next week or so. I have to work on the CSS code still and compare notes to the previous CSS so it will help. I should have an update on this by the weekend. We're on the move for what is going to be a bigger and better ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and it is truly amazing the big ideas we have to help him become a bigger and better content creator. 

 

             The Website has OFFICIALLY launched the new menu even though we have to reset because I really screwed up to a point Chris wasn't speaking to me for a good 45 mins to an hour but all is good, I'm lucky he didn't unadmin me from the site itself as I kept working on it fixed the entire website and made it better and impressed the boss man in the process. You do not know how bad I felt destroying his entire website setup. So with the Menu bar stress done, we move into the next phase which an announcement is coming a week Friday as Chris continues to work on this top secret project. I know what it is but not allowed to say. You can see a Coming Soon on the bar at the top of the website so we have already in place and ready for the phase of releasing some old content for you OG fans out there. It's coming along and I wanted to update you guys on these plans. I will be talking to you guys Sunday for the weekly updates.

600 Views On The Community Lounge!

 

Hey! I decided to take over the blog today and give him a break from blogging. Trust me he's been working long hours with the site plans, Collaboration Podcast and also Entertainment Man Podcast so he's got 3 things going on right now and honestly he's stated he will be working on January 1st, 2021 hoping to take time off on the weekend on the Sunday. Anyways the reason why I am posting today is to bring amazing news with this website. The Community Lounge continues to grows with the website and within a month of this site having the Community Lounge back on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com we have hit 600 + views (602 Views to be exact.) Which is incredible to be honest. That was a screenshot of the page stats from the back end of the website. I know, the chat isn't active with ton of users but the fact people are popping on that exact page is amazing and I am always hiding out in chat and I always keep my name in there even when I sleep. 

 

                The One thing that needs to be done is get the chat moving is promoting the Community Lounge and getting people in there. Now we continue to commit to having it open to guest chat even with the past history of guest trolls but that seems to be fine. We have had some issues even with the VPN not allowed on the website that seems to be a problem as we had a bunch of trolls and we did a lookup as both of us can see who is who on the website. It says it's a VPN or Proxy and yet we banned that so the trolling would be limited. We may have to reach out to Chatango about that but the trolling has limited down. I wanna thank you all for the continued support on behalf of myself, Larry, Billy and Chris and it's because of you guys you make ChrisBOnTheWeb a success on a daily basis.

I Am Replacing The Other Admins & Update On Chris

             A lot of you guys remember me, Kelsie but one fact you didn'y know I am the older sister of Sophie who also worked with Chris at one point. With all the countless drama on the weekend and Chris's mental health deteriorating by the day and the pressure for Power Rangers Collab coming close to production soon, I have stepped in to help him with notes. While he sleeps,I work, while I sleep he works visa versa. I know for the most part he will be working on the notes and recording both Entertainment Man Podcast and Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast which is going to be finished end of this week production wise and kind of the reason why he has taken some time off form posts and he will post from time to time but no guarantees it will be often but both of us will be around if you got questions.  I do have permissions to change anything that he needs to change on the website and I tweaked the Management Team list effective immediately as change had to be made to the Community Lounge.

              Update on Chris as it got into later in the evening he was laughing a little bit more as I spoke to him and honestly I'm the depression is still there losing two friends in one day. I never seen him this tense before and he can use a vacation honestly and it's coming up I will explain on Wednesday's post the schedule for the next week when he will be in studio and not in studio working. As you know he was playing an online Reality TV Online Mini and he ended up quitting the game just after the merge due to some drama but he's proud he called someone out for throwing his name under the bus for no apparent reason. He's been feeling down the way he went out but he should keep his head held up high, he made it to the merge and would of been on jury regardless if he didn't quit but he needs to remember it's a stressful game and I am and we're all proud of him for trying it out and I'm sure he will have good memories from this. Those are the updates from me on him and I will talk to you guys tomorrow which will be Power Ranger related as he is getting close to recording soon.

This Year Has Been A Difficult Year For ChrisBOnTheWeb!

            This year has been a difficult year not just for me who has been dealing with Mental Health issues all year long since this pandemic started. ChrisBOnTheWeb has really struggled with things from Podcast starting to fall apart to it ending to no events which I really on events and even food reviews and I couldn't even do that this year which has affected the website greatly but not too bad as you guys have enjoyed the posts regardless and either way I still got my 100k views so it didn't matter but what I mean everything had to be done from the studio or through Skype (meaning the podcasts.) Anyways this hasn't been the easiest transitioning especially from podcast to podcast and with podcasts being moved from being in studio to Skype and we were nowhere near prepared to actually record through Skype but I think we are making the best of the situation as Wild Force was a lot of fun to record and a lot of laughs with it either way.

             I hope during some time away from the collab, both Larry and I can correct any of the recording online or through Skype and try to continue to give you guys the Quality content and hopefully fix the issues that we had this year as sound was not that great and like I said it's not be an easy switch from Studio to online cause of the pandemic. I can say this to you guys: I am planning to get the Mix Minus in January and set it up here in the studio so I can have a bit better of a setup for recording with people and not worry about OBS as a whole and don't get me wrong I love OBS and it has been a great program but what use is it really to someone who doesn't cast anymore. I am audio ONLY and think I should put the money and investment into the future of the podcasts. I can be honest there has been moments where I wanted to just shutdown operations but then I'd be giving up a very successful website that's had 1100 in a day which is crazy honestly so I must be doing something right and it is the matter of time I fix the problems and issues with what I mentioned. Anyways that is my post for today and I will see you in tomorrow's post.

Website Recent Maintenance Complete!

                With someone getting into my Archives account that I use to embed the podcasts on the website for the website version. Well apparently they deleted the account which I never did whatsoever so it had to be someone that got into the account. Anyways after 18 + hours of hard work and labor to the website, we have completed the website maintenance and you probably noticed that before there was missing episodes that were not there and that has been all fixed and it was a big mess honestly. We hope with the change of passwords this will not happen in the bear future this will not happen and to the person not cool at all honestly. Myself, Billy, Tiala and Joe work too darn hard to bring you guys quality content and for this to happen this sets me back on other projects that may  need my attention and this drives off my attention on Ninja Storm and also the Collaboration Podcast that still needs the editing it needs.

                Now that this issue has now been adverted, I can start working on the collab stuff yet again and get this out to you guys soon and work on the other podcast as well and that is definitely the plan and today I am starting on the watching the series again this morning. This blog was the number 1 on the list today. I hope I can multi task and catch up as this weekend was about fixing the website. Anyways that is what happened and I'm sorry that we didn't explain very well what happened to the website and we didn't want to panic you guys on the issue but we made you guys aware of the issue but it is all good now in the end the crisis has been adverted and we move forward with the content. Just wanted to be open and honest with you guys and now you know the truth but again we're moving forward and will let you guys know when we have the episode ready and I hope to have it done by end of the week so I can post it up a week tomorrow in the afternoon. Anyways I will talk to you guys tomorrow on another blog post.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Turns 6 Today!

               Today ChrisBOnTheWeb turns 6. I know what your going to say why does it say 15 Years on the banners across the site and social media? Well this year I am also celebrating 15 years as a content creator that is why it is like that. Anyways when I started under my own brand 6 years ago, I was still currently on the YouTube platform and The Entertainment Man Talk Show which was the current running series along with Vlogs for 700 + days. Then saw the start of podcasts 6 years ago too but was short lived till Fall of 2015 when "Everything About Reality TV" started follow by it's cancellation this year and the birth of Entertainment Man Podcast which has done quite well for itself recently. The website itself has seen so much change over the years and honestly the transition from YouTube to Podcasts was a major change and having to change everything over on the website so you guys wouldn't be confused and I mean when confused when I turned into an Audio ONLY podcast in 2016. Why do you think I took the summer off from content, so I can start re-designing the entire website from scratch.

              Either way I am proud of the website and the content over the years and I am looking forward to celebrating 10 years in 4 years years time when it hits it's 10 year anniversary.  This is indeed an momentous occasion not just for me but my management team as well as well. Some of them been with me on and off over the years, Joe who helped me on that other website provider that kept suspending my website for no apparent reason, but also Larry who has been with me since before CBOTW even remotely existed yes I am referring to the old team, The Video Projects Team and yeah I'm not afraid to mention that name and I will talk about that next week on a post I promise. We have some old school team and new school who are new to the team now but that don't matter, I am proud of my team one way or another and we are progressing very well with it and here is to another year, another 4 years and so on. I'm not going off air anytime soon no matter what the haters say, we're here to stay!

Weekly Updates for Chris & ChrisBOnTheWeb

              This has been a wild week for Chris and the team and he has gave me a few updates recently and ideas as well has been suggested as well. We have been busy with expanding on the website a little bit and we are excited to mention it on today's blog post. Anyways here are the updates:

Power Rangers Podcast:  With Wild Force complete, Larry and Chris are indeed going to be recording live this week and not sure when but they definitely have to record not just one but two podcasts as Chris recently remembered that the Anniversary under the ChrisBOnTheWeb brand and just hope we can end up squeezing in both but will find out tomorrow as he will have to remind Larry of this and may have to do an afternoon recording session if possible to get both done.

Collaboration Podcast: As I said Chris has planned an Anniversary Podcast for just the website only that is going up some point Saturday no time confirmed by him but sounding like he has hinted 1 or 2 pm EST it will be up. This will be on it's own dedicated page here on the website and he is excited to do something to honor this.

Website: Second last update for today, the website. Now you haven't see it yet but we are working on this brand new feature. The first time in a long time, Chris is going to start casting right from the home of his own website. He will be watching shows and what not and when he does watch it you will see him with headphones on at times. However he will be getting into details later this week as right now we are just working on the page and testing the feed out which has already been tested and it works. It is work in progress and he has to work on a couple of things to actually figure out with cameras in the studio and recording while live. Again more details is to come later this week.

Entertainment Man Podcast: Finally, I know he has been off schedule last week and this week he will have to definitely have to get back on track as even last night he slept in the evening and been up all night working and making sure he gets the editing done and ready for the weekend, however he is close to finished and should be ready for me to post up on the website.

             There are the updates and I made some tweaks to this post and I think it is a ton better then what I had which wasn't much of an update originally but gave it an addition as he has given me more information that I can tell you guys. He has been very secretive lately on what he has planned and he has kept us the Management Team in the loop on things and when he has information, him or I will be sure to mention it to you guys. I should have further developments by next Sunday to when the feed will go up Live for you guys. One last thing you will see the Live tab pop up during the week but will not be "clickable" till he is ready to launch the page entirely.

Who I Am and My Role With ChrisBOnTheWeb

           Hello my name is Joe and I am the Site Admin for ChrisBOnTheWeb which is part of the Management Team for Chris along with Tiala and Billy. I have some major roles when it comes to the website and his content. As he said yesterday, he is off this weekend from the blog as I requested to put up two posts this weekend, this one being the introduction to who I am and my role with ChrisBOnTheWeb or CBOTW Media as he calls it. I have been around with the website for the past 6 years on and off especially when he has issues with that other website provider he was with and I may have done a post. However that could of been Jim not me as Chris confirmed it while I was typing up the post it was Jim not me. Anyways, I was with Mark and Chris when he started building the Menu bar which was a lot of work and time and the 3 of us worked on it together to help Chris. He did indeed work on the menu and helped customize it and make sure it was to his liking. My roles here with him and the Management Team are:

• Website Administrator: In charge of the changes he requests me to make whether it is a page change or him asking me to add a page I will do it for him. This also includes changes to the CSS Code that has been added to the website for some of the things to work like the menu bar.

• Weekly Updates On The Blog: I am in charge of the weekly update blogs which gives him the opportunity to take a day off from blogging which now he is Monday - Saturdays for blog posts and we all need a day off from work and really been concerned that he isn't taking days off and his motivation isn't there and he hasn't been sleeping much lately during the night and been up most nights half the nights so him having the Sundays at the most off is the best for him. 

• Any Other Things He Needs: I have been known to help the boss man with other tedious tasks that need to be done such as Podcast notes as that is a long process especially with the Collaboration and that is how he gets it done. We work as a team as an cohesive unit. Also I have been known for fixing his tech issues with the main studio computer and also fixing his sound issues on his mixer and internet and much more.

             So those are the three main roles he has given me, not much, nothing to brag about but the jobs get done and my schedule with him right now is at this moment very clear but I am around in case something breaks on the website and he is unable to fix but the site is running smoothly at this point. I will see you on tomorrows post at the usual time, 11 am EST.

Re-Branding Myself And Making Changes To The Studio!

              The last 2 days, I have been re-branding myself and the CBOTW Brand as you know I am on my own right now. This means the banners have been re-done. I made my motto "Creating Quality Content, Since 2005!" and you probably wondering where part of that motto came from, huh? That came from my original team, The Video Projects Team which I pretty much ripped off my old motto but I kind of wanted to go back to the sort of the old motto so you will see that across the website here and also to the social media's Facebook Page and Twitter. Part of this rebrand I was thinking about honestly was thinking along the line of cancelling the fan page and moving all the fans to a group but I started thinking the people who really care about my content and there is a ton of you who really enjoy the content even the video content on Facebook and Instagram and when things get back to normal and Larry get's his butt back to this studio I wanna do those taste tests him and I were gonna do as we have some on our list. Even food reviews in video style. as well. So Social Media has a big part in all of this.  The content is not changing with this change, still got "Entertainment Man Podcast" and "Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast." This is on top of blogs too and also the video content I wanna give you guys as well on both Facebook and Instagram. 

                 The next part of today's post is the studio changed a bit the side of the desk is where Larry is sitting there and his mic is now in the corner and it is easy to see the guest and it would be easy to slap a camera to his chair actually but we are slowly coming along. I originally was planning to make some changes where the guest would be behind the desk but this means changing the setup and the layout and me fixing the walls of holes from the shelf which would have had to been removed and moved over and the side desk, not sure where it would of gone whatsoever. There are a lot of cons of changing things around and where the wires would of ended up going with the PC below the desk so a ton of questions to what would of happened. I know, I know, get on with it! I split the lights up two above my head in front of me and two on the left side way above at the top and it really lights up the space. My uncle is going to help me and look into LED lights for those lights and I am sure the lights will be a ton brighter then they are right now. Either way I am excited there is a way for LED lights in the very nearby future. Those are the changes with the rebrand which mind you I am done with Rebranding CBOTW and the studio I am happy with the setup now then I was before. Anyways I will see you guys in the update blog tomorrow!

Chris

ChrisBOnTheWeb.com Got over 2400 Views Yesterday!

             The title doesn't lie, this very website got over 2400 views and I was actually pre-recording podcasts for the next 2 weeks as I will not be available which I will get into that this week but I was freakin the heck out and you will hear it over the next weeks the reaction it was very raw and real feeling and I am still excited even the next day that excitement hasn't died down. However it really put a big smile on my face and it don't matter if we have a chat or not which I will have to erase that part off the podcast as that is now irrelevant to the content on that podcast which that is what I will be doing that today. However I do not think it had anything to do with the chat these views that went up, it was the other content. 29 views for the chat technically so it was definitely nothing to do with the chat. I looked at the analytics and I think it was mainly the front page that had the views but either way I am happy.

             In the end I thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for the amazing support despite the rough year this year that we have had but I promise you my team and I have it all under control and if you have any comments or concerns to hit me up on social media, myself. Billy, Tiala or Charlotte will be happy to address it. At the rate this website is going it will hit 200k sometime next year and I will be thrilled to do another post but I think I wanna wait till the 500k mark or even at this rate the 1M (1 Million view mark) but patience is a virtue to be honest. We do not need a chat cause every time I've had a chat, it got removed or delisted so you know what it's not worth the stress and I will find another way to bring content and more views to this website and if there is a way there is a will that's for sure. Anyways I hope you enjoyed this post and thank you for love and support and I will see you tomorrows post.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Changes!

              I know it's not Sunday nor it's not my manager doing an update post. There is changes to the system we use to have. As you know by now with that announcement that I have gone solo on my own but still have Tiala and also Billy to help out as Moderator and Manager for me but most part no podcasts from other individuals, the projects is mainly me. So with what I have said here are the additional changes that I have made to the website since the changes with the social media:

Website Chat: Since it will hard to continually be active on the website chat on a regular basis and Jim no longer part of the team anymore the desire to have a chat on our website is a lot lower then I wanted it. 

Staff Page: Since there is hardly a team anymore, I've also done away with the staff page but if you wanna know Tiala is a Moderator for my Fan Page and Billy is a Manager for me. You will see him make posts from time to time if I need him too but like I said I am on my own but have help to make sure the trolls are at bay at all times.

Menu Bar and Pages: The menu bar has been tweaked again and pages have been removed from the website, community chat, staff have been removed, CBOTW Gamers Podcast has been removed as well as the RSS feed for that podcast. 

                   So those are the updates and there are a lot of updates to my website and also social and that one RSS feed is now no longer existing. I feel good to still have a Moderator and a Manager and I do not wanna make anymore changes and just go with the flow of things. I am sticking to my word with this and not going to turn back to the old method of having a team at one point. I am keeping it and nobody can change as it is my decision and my decision only and at least it is a ton less stress on my hands and happy in the end. I think it was long coming to these changes and it was definitely time.

Let's Try This Chat Thing Yet Again! SMH!

           This was all Chris's idea in the way of chat of returning to the website and I had a couple of ideas which I will not get into as we're in the early stages of the chat's return and we do not want to rush it. However it is back up and running and yes guest chat is an option for right now but if the spam and disrespect returns then we will be locking down the chat once again and we are not afraid to do that whatsoever.  There is no holding back and we wanna grow the website and build this community. This is one of the reasons we brought it back was to start growing the community and the website. Now the views are up this is a great time to expand on the website so we made a few tweaks to the menu bar and the About is under it's own drop down menu to make way for the chatroom which was released right away.

           The chatroom can be found on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com/p/community.html and staff is around typically during the daytime but sometimes we will hide out in the chatroom from time to time but depends if we are awake we may answer but keep checking back in our community chat. We hope one of these days if we can get the chat really busy that we can start doing Community Nights on our chatroom but that is part of Phase 3 of the plan as we are only in Phase 1 which is growing the community. We also will be looking for Moderators but in due time. The Only Moderator we have right now is LarryR82 as he is a former staff member of The Video Projects Team and ChrisBOnTheWeb and he has Moderator status on our chatroom and is around when he can be on. Let's regrow this community and grow this website even further!

Jim, CBOTW Admin/CBOTW Community

We Do Get Views on Our Content & Website!

            So with the trolls telling us get better content and they wanna help to get us more views and we already get views like 200 - 300 or more a day which adds up and we got 100K pretty fast so the numbers does add up and we actually get quite a good amount of traffic and we rather not talk about analytics too much as we do not wanna bore you guys with the details but you kind of forced us to bring up our analytics. So do not say we do not get views when we do and clearly doing very well for ourselves to this day. We continue to grow on a regular basis and we triple over the last several months with views  as we use to get 2k at the most a month on our website which was little now we get about 6 - 7K a month and we are continuing to grow on a daily basis! To be honest, this month we just got over 7k and we're 8 days from finishing up the month of September. What's next? 8K in the month of October? You never know!

             We do get views so you can stop complaining we don't get views and we have been told that in the past too. However the facts are true and we can easily print screen the analytics if we wanted to but that is for our eyes only. We may have lost a few followers here and there but followers come and go. Also we're not lying about our views gone up either and haters will hate and let em. They are jealous of our success and we have had people like that in the past and we can let them get jealous and hate us for success we have made with ChrisBOnTheWeb. We will continue to grow as a website and with our content and what not and we are nowhere near done creating content as we have another podcast in the works which you guys know what it is anyways and this will help us continue to grow as a community. 

Jim, CBOTW Admin/Community Manager

I Originally Helped Build The Original ChrisBOnTheWeb.com

             This is going way back to the early days of us having a .com website or Chris so to speak like 2015 when he got the original ChrisBOnTheWeb.com which didn't have as many views as it does today to a couple of hundred of views a day which I will get into on another post another day this week as I have several ideas for the week. Anyways I want to go back 5 years ago when we just started out with a .com website, when this all became a reality. Yes we were a year and a half before ending YouTube as a whole but I helped Chris build the website from the ground up, pages added to the website the entire build of what was our very first menu bar which Chris hasn't really spoken about and I think he rather squash the fact he was with that provider as he's had his share of problems where they banned the website for no apparent reason not once but twice in the time which honestly was ridiculous. I'm sure it was being falsely reported but the point is we are with blogger now fully and love the way we have built up this website. 

 

          So I had a big hand in the build of the ORIGINAL website and have experience with the way ChrisBOnTheWeb.com runs so maybe that is why he has chosen me to help with the day to day operations while he's away. Now not only that I helped him build this website's pages and menu bar. Wasn't just Mark and I, it was a 3 man operation and there was a ton of work and it took us a long time. Chris mainly tested it and reported back to us as we did majority of the work switching on a regular basis. Either that doesn't matter who work on the website but I have learned a lot about building Menu Bars, CSS Code, IFrame and even building social media buttons within the website. This is how I am familiar with the build of our website. I hope you all enjoyed this story of how I was involved the website before we moved to blogger or blogspot on more permanent basis and I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

Larry and I Been Joking Around and Updates!

           I had to share this as you know we're now in negotiations for a Renewal for Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast and Larry had to make a stupid joke that we will still be doing this when we're 80 years old! I know we are making stupid jokes about ourselves but hey like he said as long as we're having fun with the series and talking about it that is what really matters.  You guys probably wondering are we getting close to a renewal? Well not yet. We have spoken about it recently this week and it is in the back of our minds at this point but we are having fun with the fact with in our 30's or late 30's talking about Power Rangers and there will always be some kind of series we will always be talking about I'm sure. By the sounds of the renewal I think it's gonna happen, I have a funny feeling it's gonna happen sooner or later and we will see us continuing on with this amazing series.  As Larry and I mentioned it is little early to be making this decision as we still got 3 more episodes to go before end of our agreement once again and this would make this the second agreement we have made so we will have to make a decision before December whether we are going to continue on and I think we will. 

              I have a feeling it is in the back of our mind it will be renewed and we will be indeed back to recording Power Rangers Podcast in February 2021 even if we end up still stuck with doing it through Skype at this point. I am good doing it through Skype at this point and one of these days we will be both back in studio recording the podcast at some point when this pandemic gets at ease and under control once we get a vaccine for it. Anyways I want this to continue even during this pandemic and I know it is not the same doing this via Skype but what other choice do we have. So yes both Larry and myself have talked about the future of the collaboration podcast and it will happen when the time is right but at this moment I do not think it is the appropriate time and we just need to focus on finishing these up but we continue to negotiate and we both thank you guys for your continuing love and support through email that you would like  to see us continue this collab and please keep telling us you'd like to continue to hear the podcast, anything helps us.

Chris Is Taking Time Away from The Blog and Social Media...

                Chris is taking some time away from the website, blog and social media as I stated on here and social yesterday, there was stuff going on which again we will not get into detail but he is stressed right out to a point of a mental breakdown and I think he had one the other night and him being away from the the team and all of this. However he will still be working on his own pace and the podcast will remain as schedule but as for the live I will be addressing that tomorrow. Things will be reveal over the next week as that is what he is planning to not be around for the next week as he needs. I think this is what he needs and honestly things were going just smoothly up to what happened and I was surprised to see a message from him late last night to what was going on and that is why I offered to take it over. Right now he needs to get his mental health better. He is all wound up like he gets like this especially like the other night. Plus he has been under immense pressure getting Entertainment Man Podcast notes done and also Power Rangers Podcast which is currently on standby.

               There is stuff I like to explain Saturday as there is a ton of stuff going on and why he's put things on hold. I do not why he has to bring me into his dirty work, honestly... LOL! He probably see this post and just shake his head at me talking about him but it is positive things. We're a team and we stick together to the end. He will be back soon I hope and right now it's him getting work done and discussing with who's left on this team at this moment as the staff seems to be fluctuating at this moment.  This is why he needs a community manager and he has one, me. I use to be near him at one point, but moved away and I am still happy to help him out one way or another. I am here to answer questions you guys may have via Social Media or email, just send me a message and I or the staff will be sure to answer them as quickly as possible.

We Ran Into An Issue With Mobile Compatibility With The Live Page!

              First of all: Chris is off today from the blog and social media due to some drama that went on last night but I will not get into details at this moment but I am taking over the Community Manager role as well as we just switched over Community Managers yet again and part of it is what I said above. Anyways I am hear today to talk about our Live Feature. We recently tested the feature out for how compatible the feed is via mobile and I can tell you it works but you either login to the chat or play the video as the auto play feature but majority of people to this day of age have computers as Chris and I had that conversation this morning as we are late coming out with the post and most of us slept in after a rough night for all of us.

               So after consulting the boss man, if you wanna do both then you will have to be on a computer but if you wanna listen to mobile you can as it is both compatible on mobile as it is HTML5.  So you listen to it but you cannot do both that is our issue with the live page. I've noticed with the page there has been a lot of views lately and probably cause the Staff been in and out of the page a ton lately. I'm pretty sure the page isn't visible through Google at the moment as it hasn't been available and maybe the fact it hasn't been promoted does make a difference and the only people that really do know is the Staff of this website. However we will make a clear statement when we start posting links whenever that is as Chris is holding back the live for this week but we will make a note that you will have to login to a computer for both due to the state that this player does not auto play which it should to be honest. You can't say we tried! We are continuing to test and try this but no guarantees when we will be launching it it could not even be this weekend at point cause of the schedule.
