Had A Dufus Moment Last Week! | Frustration Like Crazy Last Week!

Well last week was a major dufus moment and one hell of a week for me as I thought it was 000webhost servers that was giving issues, well at first it was their crummy server, then I reset the site entirely hoping it would come back online, but it was a minor step I missed that was the cause of the root of the problem this entire time! Now blaming my domain provider wasn't the right answer and I've already manned up to the mistake. Honestly 000webhost is making it so hard for use the website owners to operate the website. I am still vouching to what I said on Twitter back on the weekend which is I am still planning to get a full on package with the domain whether it is with HostGator when I renew or GoDaddy or some other domain provider website. I got a year and a half to decide where I am heading with the future of chrisbontheweb.com But this brings me into my next point which is you can imagine over the course of the last year and a half how much frustration I have been through within the website, trying to maintain it and also keep it online for more then a freaking week! Now since my site is back the views are not as good grinding around 22 views per day, however it is starting to get the viewership back, my more biggest concern at this point of time is the lack of communication within my team, my staff who volunteer their time to help me with the success of running ChrisBOnTheWeb. Just yesterday, I ended up letting go of one of the 4 staff I had. At this point I am cleaning house and as April 1st of this year, one more will go if this chat doesn't move anywhere which at this point it hasn't and has been at a full stand still for almost an entire year. I waited a whole freaking year plus for this chat to be done and has it? Nooo always excuses made or arguments made over it. Yes I understand it takes time but they said it wouldn't take more then a year and all I have seen is the login main screen of the chat that's it. So as of April 1st like I said I will be letting them go as their was no communication made since January and the dream of bringing my podcasts back live will not be happening anytime soon.  I feel for you guys and the frustrating levels of a site that isn't working half the time, however I appreciate the patience and positive feedback you guys have given me when the site has been online. That always put a smile on my face and right now as I am typing this I got a bit of a grin on my face as I am very very happy with the positive feedback and pep talks you guys give me on Twitter. I am very grateful to have you guys as a fan base and grown so much since the move to podcasts last summer. I have almost doubled from the 1500 I had last summer and hopefully I will hit 3k by the summer and I sure think I will. 


Have a great Tuesday!

Everything About Reality TV Podcast Schedule

I have been withholding this blog post for the longest time and I was talking about it on Social Media for the past few days since finding out the last of the 3 shows I am covering in this winter season. It is with great pleasure and very exciting to announce the Winter 2017 schedule for the infamous "Everything About Reality TV Podcast" 

Thursdays @ 8 pm EST: Everything About Reality TV- Survivor Game Changers Recap Podcast (Starting March 8th, 2017)

Fridays @ 8 pm EST: Everything About Reality TV- Big Brother Canada Recap Podcast (Starting March 15th, 2017)

Saturdays @ 8 pm EST: Everything About Reality TV- Amazing Race 29, USA Recap Podcast (Starting April 21st, 2017)

There is your schedule and like I said either here on the blog or Twitter I will eventually will be doing another Hell's Kitchen recap in the near future, possibly the fall which I think will be the next season of HK, but I wanna try and make this the best experience out there and I want to grow this podcast so if I got more of an open schedule I will be sure to add Hell's Kitchen in there as well and if Master Chef fits in the timetable that as well too. I may add a second podcast to the list talking about whats been going on in the feeds the last week, so I am looking for a team behind that and if I can get people to help me that would be one amazing podcast to do on it's own like on a Friday evening or a Sunday, something like that. Kind of talk about what has gone on the live feeds for the last week. I don't think I have seen it happen and been thinking about this in the the last year and a bit now about this idea and maybe it is the best idea I can have.  Anyways I hope you enjoy these podcasts coming up start Thursday, March 9th, 2017 with Everything About Reality TV Survivor Gamers Podcast.


Have a great Saturday!

Staying Organized, Keeping On Track of Things!

First of all, I am sure you guys are going to ask, Chris, how are you so organized with the podcasts, blog posts, events you go to, scheduled recordings of the podcast and so forth? Well I always use and utilize my calendar/agenda/planner, whatever you guys like to call it. But it helps, I put in my appointments like YMCA in the 2 pm and so on. Also when I record my podcasts I set a time to sit down and really record the podcasts. I usually tend to record in the afternoon so its ready to go onto chrisbontheweb.com, podcasts.com, Stitcher.com & Tunein.com. However when I schedule my recordings I put this in at the allotted time, for example Everything About Reality TV Podcast, Recording. When it comes to a podcast being released I put it in both my calendar that sits on or near my desk everyday as it is easy to access, but also it is in my Google calendar which you can see on my website on the front page below the image slide show on the left side next to the twitter feed. What is good about having both my physical calendar here on my desk, but my cell phone is hooked up to, which actually does make my cellphone beep when a podcast or an event so either way it reminds me something is coming up within an hour as it is set to go off one hour or half hour before the event or for me to post up my podcast up comes up. So both are a big big help and i highly recommend it!

Now you will ask me how do I know what needs to be done on a regular basis, Well, I have my black folder that has a line pad of paper in there and I write down what needs to be done, along the line of having a list of different topics when there is nothing on my mind, I can do some of them and I have been inspired on ideas for the near future as well. Now not only I write them down I use an app on my computer called Sticky Notes and I tell ya it is great! I love to use them all the time, it helps me keeps me organized! If you got windows 7, 8, 8.1 or Windows 10, I highly recommend to use it. It is worth it! Anyways thank you guys so much for reading this blog and I will do another post a little later on.


Have a great night,


Chris

Saying No! Turning Negatives Into Positives!

Saying No, is the hardest thing for people to say. I am one of those people that have a hard time saying No. Recently I thought things were going so well with my ex, but with not listening to me and lying that they did indeed subscribe to my podcast makes me realize that I should of never said yes to the piece I was willing to do for her. When my ex and I started talking I should of never said yes to this promotional piece for her hockey team. I noticed yesterday (Wednesday) I was for once saying no to it happening. However my problem is, I am too much of a soft person, I am too easy going of a person, that is my only problem. I am too easy going of a person, when a person like my ex, doesn't want to listen to me which has been an on going problem for the last few weeks. Now this brings me to the point I want to make in this blog post which is don't feel like you have to say yes to everything. It doesn't feel right I am sacrificing my time to do a piece that isn't being communicated well and also listening from the other party. You think you should do something if someone will not communicate and listen to what you have to say. Also accusing you of accusing them when I am stating the facts who is subscribed on my Podcasts.com & TuneIn.com feeds for my podcast? I think not! I will not take or tolerate being accused for accusing someone else of something I did not do when I stated my facts, I presented them with the facts who is subbed as I have kept tabs who is subbed to my podcasts on 3 of the platforms which I am involved with, 2 of them being my partners that Everything About Reality TV is with. So at this point, I am saying "NO" to the project at this point of time. I am not going to be abused and accused of things that I didn't do. 

When you say no, you must say it with respect and kindness and always give and state a reason why you are saying no to what the person is asking you or if it is in my case that hockey team piece. Honestly sometimes saying no takes a weight off your shoulders, especially when you got other major projects going on, in my case Everything About Reality TV, the sports piece with my buddy Jeff from bowling, also the start of CBOTW Gamers Podcast and finally a possible Reunion of 2 old buddies of mine from Stickam/BlogTV & also xat.com days as well. I got plenty of positive things to think about such as what I listed above. When you have something negative turn it into a positive, like the appointments I go to help with my frustrations, turn those negatives into a positive! 


Have  a great night, I will post again later in the day with another post!

Updates, Both Website and Podcasts!

So I am sure for those who have follow me on social media, you were shocked as heck to see the site back up and operating in a very quick fashion. Well the explanation behind that is I needed to get the site back up so this way TuneIn.com knows I got an active website and it is up and running once again. Now being at 12 hours of it running, the site views been around 14 views but it is going to be slow while the site is just getting back up and running. Once Big Brother Canada, Survivor & Amazing Race comes back, the views should go up. Also the facts that I am going to start blogging on a almost regular basis will help with the website views going up. I have never  doubted the facts that my website wouldn't fail, it has been running smoothly lately and always getting viewers. But now that the site was short off 3 weeks, I think people wondered what was going on with the site and why it went down. Don't forget it went down the day before my computer went out of commission for several days. And the last few weeks it was about me rebuilding the entire website and also finding the right provider that will work for me, yet I have once again returned to 000webhost and I dont mind the email forwarder and I realized today it has been sending me emails from that email address to the places I have signed up with. But once again chrisbontheweb@yahoo.com is where you can contact me or the team at anytime if you got any questions at all. 

Now Everything About Reality TV took a turn for the worst as when I embedded episode 1 - 4 of EAR TV it showed Episode # 13. Now everything is fine on the side of podcasts.com so it has to be a glitch with stitcher and I have notified them but yet to hear back from them about what is going on with it. I have for now at least pulled my stitcher partnership for now until they fix the glitch or it will be a permanent pull and I will not go with them again in the near future. However I have signed up for EAR TV to appear on TuneIn.com like I said above and hopefully they say yes and allow me to have my podcasts on there and help me grow my podcasts further.


Have a great Wednesday everyone!

ChrisBOnTheWeb.com Updates!

I know I haven't posted as much as I would of liked to but been busy fixing ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and trying to get it back onto Maintenance screen. I understand and I know its been a week and a half since the site has been down but working on bringing it back soon as possible. Site has propagated and is awaiting launch a week today at 7 pm EST! When I was switching providers, however it showed a flipping virus, if this doesn't work I will go to a free website and wait for the domain to expire and go with someone else and someone that has a web builder and email system within the site just 000webhost had till they changed the email system to email forwarder not email system, which if you may ask me it is kind of dumb. However the new email to contact me is chrisbontheweb@yahoo.com since the .com emails are no longer there but I rather use Yahoo anyways. This morning I was on the horn, well support chat with HostGator which I highly recommend them for a domain host. I understand all of your frustrations with my website close to a 2 week shutdown but had issues with the web provider a tad bit also issues along the line with my internet browser there was virus's that appeared on the site but i think it was the provider that was causing this or Chrome telling me there was an virus! 

Just this morning I have completed chrisbontheweb.com and will be re-launching Monday, February 6th, 2017. It will have been a 2 weeks and 2 days since it has been shutdown. I am so hyped for the re-launch of the website now, no matter how much people put down my self & my team, telling me to fire them when they are doing what they are suppose to do as their description of their roll within the site. I haven't told you much along the line of who's on "Staff" Well Myself, Justin been working behind the scenes since December, as he has been on a hiatus since my change over from YouTube to blogging then eventually podcasting. Also I have brought an old friend Jeff from down in Pennsylvania where eventually he will be the Co Host of CBOTW Gamers Podcast which is in the plans in the near future. Also my ex and friend Heather has been eyes and ears for me and is starting to do small tasks for me which will bring the Dragons Piece which has been the long anticipated piece for the last 5 years at least.... LOL! You do not want to know how many times I've called off that project but this time I know this will happen this time around. So as you can see I am very very busy, excuse me we are a busy team getting things done and building the website back up.


Have a great rest of your weekend,



Chris

The Future of ChrisOnTheWeb.com!

Since being off my computer it has come cleared, I wasn't meant to podcast or do YouTube, I was meant to blog, take photos and stream on Twitch.tv. I am still the same Reality TV super fan and of course you will hear me rant and talk Reality TV on Twitter.  So what's the future of my website, will set up a photography page and post up photos from events such as The Royal Winter Fair, when I go to the Autism Celebration when I take pictures of my booth and so forth. Also will be adding my Gaming Stream over on Twitch.tv.

Now your going to ask me, Chris what is going to happen with your interview with Justin and Diana from the Green Team well if they want to I'd be more the happy to feature the interview right here on  the blog. That hasn't been determined when it would happen but go follow them on Facebook:  Search Justin and Diana, Twitter & Instagram: @JustinClassic1 @LadyClassicOne  & follow their Racers Recap which is an awesome recap by search ClassicOneMedia! I encourage you to check it out!

Have a great rest of Your Sunday

Chris
