So Frustrated With My Site Issues

               I am so frustrated with the fact my .com has failed time and time again. However, you have to remember, I have had issues with 000webhost from the start since I found them on the internet, so that doesn't help with any of the on going problems I have had. Since I got the .com website and I am glad the re-build of Chris B On The Web isn't done. It's been a long 2 years but still got tons of stuff still to do before the rebuild concludes and we are in full on site. What is my plan moving forwards, I will get to that shortly in today's blog post. I think leaving 000webhost at this point of time probably is the best move for me and honestly, I should of done this sooner to be honest as it's been nothing but a headache for me in the last while and I need to take more action and faster as it is not only frustrating for me but it is also frustrating for you guys the fans. I do understand  your frustrations with the site and I probably out of all of the 3500 + of you guys, I am the most frustrated as I am the one that deals with the website behind it all.


                Now the plan moving forward is to keep the free website for now for a while while the domain is currently active and in use, I need to let it expire before putting the .com on this website, yes I will be bringing it back and I want to use the blogger page as the main site, it has the blog, the podcast links, and a schedule and contact page in case you guys need to get a hold of me for any reason related to Chris B On The Web. However it has been the hardest decision, where to go next and what I wanna do with Chris B On The Web. I had a plan to release the collaboration podcasts but I just do not know how that is possible at this time and where I would release it and if the planning for the next one will happen anytime soon as you know I had plans to continue them but at this point, not so much... That is the biggest disappointment as Larry and I really did so well on them and we had such a great time recording them for you guys but now, you do not get to hear it. I have it saved on my external hard drive with all the other podcasts I've done over the last 2.5 years. That is why I said on Twitter, I've considered quitting my podcast all together but yet again, I do not want to let Larry down as he's actually enjoyed doing em as a guest host here and there and also guest starring on Everything About Reality TV as well as he is the one that helped me found it from the ground up. 


                    I can say this now, Everything About Reality TV is not going anywhere, anytime soon. It is not going off the air anytime soon is what I meant. I have every attention to continue with the podcast till there is no Reality TV shows left to cover! LOL. However I am disappointed that I have no way to release the collaboration without chrisbontheweb.com no longer up and running at this point as I have wasted my time re-building and re-coding it from scratch. I feel bad that I have not only wasted my time on the collaboration podcast but Larry's too as him and I could of used that time to hangout and spend time with him and have fun but it's 000webhost side, they don't want me there, that's their decision. Google and Blogger has been gracious enough to have me in this community and I plan to stick to being here.

The .com Website is DONE!!!! No more 000webhost!

           I've had it with 000webhost for the very last time! My site, once again very much built and ready to release and yet again they either suspend my website or they made the website temporarily unavailable so I am going back to the original plan and sticking to the blogger page and eventually it be a .com website down the long road. This means the podcast will not be directly uploaded to here as it is a lot of information to post up on a small blogger page. But the Podcasts will be linked to here. However when it comes to the collaboration podcast will be on it's own page on the blogger page. I will be tinkering around with it over the next couple of days. The bad news, I have to re do the flyer for Autism Celebration which that was my original plan but it is a bit delayed now the fact I need to tinker as I am now needed to get this page ready as I am planning for a release in the next week from now so it is exciting as it is exclusive content. Also adding in interviews page to the blogger to the page here as well.


               So this means I have to tinker with this page a bit to add in the 2 extra pages but that's OK, it's better then putting in code after code into the website which took me hours and days to deal with so this is the better plan. Probably some yo, yo, reported me again and I honestly have my suspicions  who could of reported it but honestly I am sick of this crap, time and time again of losing my website after working so hard on it. I am better off with this website honestly as it is over 12.5k in views recently, a lot more then what I was getting on the .com website. Don't sweat it, I will be bringing it back in 2019 when I plan on renewing the domain under Google instead as I think this is the more logical thing to do. So for now this is what is to happen but again the podcast links are linked on the Everything About Reality TV Podcast page and you can find where to listen to the podcast each and every week when I post a podcast up on the feeds. I think this is easier for me and less stress on me. If requested I can post em up on a post on the blog but I am sure you guys are very much content. Finally be sure to subscribe or follow the blog and the page for on going content and updates on here and welcome to Chris B On The Web on Blogger!

Website Grand Re-Opening Announcement

          So this is the announcement, you have been waiting for, the actual date for the Grand Re-Opening of ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. I wanna say first, I was overwhelmed with the amount of viewers on the website, I thought you guys were going to crash my website entirely! LOL. But no, it went smoothly and ran smoothly throughout the entire day. Actually I left the website up late for those out in the west coast so they got a chance to see the website up and running and checkout what changes I have made to the website so I was being nice in that regards so those who didn't see the site who are 3 hours behind EST get that chance to actually see it. I am so proud of what the site looks like now to this day to see and I am so excited to re-open the site and incorporate it with the content you guys see to this very day. Yes this means collab podcast will be coming out soon and will be announcing it very, very soon to when that is coming out for you guys.


               The Announcement part of this post. This Monday, August 20th, 2018 at 6 pm EST, ChrisBOnTheWeb.com will be officially be re-opening and will be fully up and running for here on out. I plan on to continue for a couple of day later to monitor and make sure things are running smoothly but so far, so great it is running fine for right now. I cannot wait for you guys to utilize the website again and see other content that I am bringing to the website. Yes, as you probably realize The CBOTW Show is not around anymore, I have officially cancelled the podcast and Everything About Reality TV is the only podcast now. So with that the Power Ranger Talk is now a collab podcast and is a ChrisBOnTheWeb.com exclusive content and I am happy I made this decision.

Music City On CMT Renewed For Season 2 (Everything About Reality TV Podcast NEWS)

             I just got the news yesterday that Music City on CMT is renewed for a Season 2 which means, more then likely I will be covering it as long as WE get CMT here in Canada as I am not quite sure if the show is carried up here and when it gets closer to the time, maybe they will contact me about covering it again which the answer is a big YES! I will not say no to Music City, I enjoyed covering the show and its a shorter format of Everything About Reality TV as the show is only 30 minutes compare to the hour shows but that's OK, I am happy with the results and the podcast did do very, very well back in the spring in the way of the numbers and I do not usually talk about the numbers and it doesn't really matter how many I get but it is good I do get good views. 


               This journey as a podcaster has been so incredible and to hear the renewal of Music City puts a smile on my face, knowing that Everything About Reality TV will be around for quite some time  and it isn't going anywhere anytime soon and it is here to stay. Another reason why I want to say yes to covering Music City is the story line that kind of been left off from the end of the season so most definitely I will be covering Music City to find out what is going to happen on the show next! I know it is a hook, I am now hooked on the show and I am glad I am, I really enjoy it and meant it when I said it is a breath of fresh air doing this show as it is different from what I've done. 


                 I am sure they will be in contact with me when the time comes to let me know the time it comes out as they did before but I am one step ahead as I already knew the show was renewed from their social media which told us it was renewed for a season 2 and my first reaction was LETS GOOOO! lol! I am very excited, the smile hasn't left my face since the announcement came and I was fist pumping like crazy as that made me really happy. So I will announce the release schedule for you guys to when it comes out and I will be making sure to make a post for you guys on the timetable. I am sure guessing it will be around the same time it came out as it did this year but never know, it could be an earlier release of the series!

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!

Late Podcasts Are Getting Lesser and Lesser!

                I have to make this post to why the podcast and first of all I apologize profusely as I have been either busy with other Chris B On The Web projects or the family as I mentioned on Social Media I spent 2 days with my niece and nephew but tried to get it done but I kept on having bad timing and I will get into that shortly. I feel bad and down when I do not get the podcast out on schedule and I wanna be on schedule and I need to learn to put whatever I am doing and putting it to the side and I can do that as you know I'm working on the ailing ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and trying to fix whatever the problem is and I will talk about that on tomorrow's blog post what is changing, etc.  I really wanna improve the scheduling and honestly I have been on schedule majority of the season which is good and much better but still room for improvement but slowly but surely it has gotten better, even without the website operational. 


                I haven't given up and I think with the scheduling, I have to record in the morning time when I am fresh and raring to go. But I also want to start utilizing the calendar I have added in the recording session for this Wednesday morning so this way I have time to record and start editing the episode which doesn't take long to edit as I am now a pro at editing the podcast. The worry is I will forget to upload ahead of time to this way it processes to all the platforms so that is the only concern I have but if I upload it exactly at 7 pm EST, it gives it a 2 hour window to go up, so if I can keep to that timetable, then I will be good to go. I am not worried at all, don't you worry. I have my priorities what comes first from day to day. For example blog only days, that comes first before my website, for blog & podcast day blog first then the podcast if that makes sense to you guys. But I think I got more control over the content and I think at least 2 or 3 times I fessed up with not being on schedule, so not bad compare to back in the spring or last year. I am slowly but surely hopefully this will continue to stay on schedule...

I Had To Change Internet Browsers....

               Yesterday, I got inspired to write this from a fellow broadcaster friend of mine. We both had Chrome issues and honestly I have had my share of issues with Chrome Dome. For those who don't know, I use Tweetdeck on Chrome and ever since they changed things around since Flash is now slowly and everything is becoming HTML5, the Browser wouldn't even let me pop up the create new tweet and I had to keep on refreshing each and every time which really annoyed the heck out of me as I like to tweet, I like to interact with you guys when I get the time to tweet what I am up to with Chris B On The Web. Like honestly Chrome has changed so much in the last little while. Especially the fact LightIRC doesn't even work and as you know that's the chat system I use to have on the website at one point of time and I'm not sure even if I would have a chat system but I got an idea for one in the way of the contact page but that's another blog post for another day. 


                I did the right thing and switch browsers and  I am now proudly using Mozilla Firefox and right now, so far, so good, no problems whatsoever but it hasn't been a full 24 hours or 1 day since switching over to this browser I am now using Firefox and i like it and I like the way it looks and it runs very, very smoothly so I do highly recommend it if you're also have issue like I have been, it is probably the best move to another browser. Starting to wonder if Chrome is stable anymore. Honestly I don't wanna be refreshing constantly to be Tweeting out to you guys when I gotta say something to you guys. But finally, it is what it is and I gotta do what I gotta do and if I have to change browsers, so be it.
