Website Continues To Grow!

           Everyday our website continues to grow more and more everyday we get between 200 and 300 views on a regular basis which is incredible and it has continued to be consistent on a day to day basis and at this rate we will end up breaking 100k this month at some point, it is just the matter of time of it happening and don't worry and at least our site is very stable and with the flex of traffic on our website, the site hasn't crashed whatsoever which is good. Things are going great for us and we're not stopping at anytime soon. I think it all started at 100 views then 200 now 300 views a day on the website which is crazy. The numbers continue to go up on a regular basis. The move to add social media buttons and also the chat having it's own dedicated page was the best move to make honestly. It has really grown our website in views and never this could bring in views, more fans to our fan page and Twitter and his Instagram. This will be definitely a good thing for us.


            I know we had a day where we dipped down into the 100's but cannot always be over 200 to 300 every single day but 160 is still pretty good if you ask me it's better then nothing. However Chris and the rest of us here are excited that we are getting the views and this website is continually growing on a regular basis. I think part of it is with everyone home due to CoVid-19 everyone is online most of the time probably has a lot to do with the website but we do not know really. We should be happy with the way things have progressed well and the actual chat page which is there and it's not used too often minus the Staff and Mods on our chatroom, but the views are definitely there and I'm sure we will get people chatting eventually because people are checking out the chatroom one way or another.

Power Rangers Podcast Re-Scheduled Till Tomorrow

               So I got the word that Chris and Larry has re-scheduled till tomorrow night due to some technical issues on Larry's side with his Tablet or IPad having to do with his charger which is why they dropped the feed the other night on Monday. He was at a point didn't say a word to Larry till later in the afternoon when the two of them spoke and he wanted to get this finished yet Chris said he was done with the podcasts but hey they want to make it right and get it done. Like I've said and if he decides to end it then they would having to finish it but the two of them wanna make it right and Thursday evening the two of them will be back on Skype around 630 pm EST. We know they were live and they have decided to not go live for the rest of the recording due to it may throw people off. Also Chris and Larry have to re do the intro for the podcast as Chris isn't happy with it and they wanna add in that he is honoring the memory of his friend Kevin that passed away recently and he forgot to add it into the podcast. Then the two of them will jump all the way into where they left off with the podcast and go for it.


              Now hopefully the new charger will help as it does look like they will be doing it by remote till at least January as the Social Circle is still going to be at 10 till at least January 2021 so they will be doing it remotely not in the same studio as one another. Chris will be in the main studio and Larry will be in his. He decided to to throw away the video version and don't worry they have the Audio ONLY saved as they converted the video into Audio and we're working on the edit the podcast and hopefully we will get it edited and an announcement will come probably Sunday or Monday and I have no clue when he's returning to blogging, he's been MIA for a very long time now going on about 2 weeks now that he's not been there but you guys know the reason behind it now is this podcast but that is what is going on and the two guys are recording and I'm excited to see the final product. I give em credit they are working tirelessly on fixing and they will get it down and they always prevail no matter how much they fight and argue they still get the job and this is why this team is so amazing we work so hard on the website.

Addessing Last Night...

               Last night, Chris doesn't want to remember. Actually this morning he's been very quiet and stayed his distance away from Social Media and avoiding everything right now. I think it has to do with last night's live podcast which went great up to the technical issues and him yelling and screaming live which to a point he cut the feed and more arguing happened and the two of them are not on speaking terms now. Let's leave it at that as that is between the two of them but I hate seeing friends fight like this and honestly. Anyways Chris is feeling down today and I think he's just going to remain offline today for the day and take a personal day or two off for himself. Maybe this will clear things and maybe the decision to continue will be a thing. All we know they have a 3/4 of a podcast recorded and not sure if it will be kept or not for editing that I couldn't tell you but hopefully Sunday I will have something for you guys on the weekly update blog.


                Chris does feel bad on what happened and hopefully he'll make it up to you guys when the time is right. Right now he just needs to cool down, take time for himself. I understand why he's so fired up right now. He worked 3 weeks to months to a point he's just not happy after the long hours he puts into this, not sleeping during the night or no sleep at all to just get this finished and done for this to happen on the most important night of their lives. Now the thing I can say Facebook Page views were really good too and to end it after it was going really good and was overwhelming to look at the analytics for it.  Anyways I am not sure what is going on or what he has planned now with that and if it will be finished up at a later date or if he's just done with it in it's entirety that I cannot really tell you right now. So he is sorry about last night ending the cast early but there was issues and I wish I had more information but Chris ain't speaking to anyone. He needs to have his space right now.

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.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Update! [08-02-2020]

             It is that time of the week again where we update you guys on everything ChrisBOnTheWeb. As you know it was another productive week for us and boy we have been very busy with adding features to the website and of course Chris working constantly hard to get the notes done for tomorrow as tomorrow is a big day but let's break down what has been happening:


Website: We've done two things, well Chris did since our website admin went rogue on us but that is besides the point. First thing was chat. Chris added the chat back and it has had both negative and positive response as we had a troll issue threatening to report me when it was one miscommunication we had which that post has been updated. Since then the chat has been moved as it got buried down on the right hand side and it was time to move it to it's own dedicated page on the website called Community Chat which has the times Staff are typcially around during the day time unless we have been up all night working hard on content for you guys. Also the color scheme of the website has been updated to blue outer edge with where you type a message and the messages area grey which really looks sleek and cool and we're very impressed with the look of it. Finally we have also have added social media buttons on the right hand side now and he's been playing around with it last night and we will get it fixed and to the right size. 

Entertainment Man Podcast: Chris has recorded a new episode of the podcast and this morning he actually had to update the website early this morning but this episode he posted up was about what is to come with the podcast in the fall.

Power Rangers Podcast: Tomorrow is the big day and Chris was up all night working hard on getting ready to record with the notes and the most part he's gotten very far and hopes to be close to finished today at some point hopefully done so he can email it over to Larry to print off so at 7 pm EST we can record and hopefully live.


               There are our updates for the week and the usual stuff happening and it has been a huge week for us. Our website has grown massively! Over 200 views a day now and ever since we've added the new features this website has gotten big amount of views which is amazing to be honest it has been an amazing week for us and we hope this week continues to grow and it will as we got all these amazing features and we're all excited for the future of this website.

Podcasts-- Fall 2020-- What's New and What's Returning?

              This post was suppose to be up the other day but due to the issues of the interface with the blog this got delayed. There is a new podcast coming and there is projects that are going to be returning to the lineup and this is to announce what Chris and the rest of the team has in stored for 2020 - 2021 season.


Entertainment Man Podcast: It is finally returning after almost a 5 month Hiatus, Chris's personal podcast which will be recorded and posted up each and every week on the Audio ONLY Platforms. He already did an episode or mini episode since it was only 14 mins long not the full 20 - 30 min episode he usually produces and puts up. He has already confirmed that Sunday, September 6th, 2020 @ 1 pm EST the first episode will be put up.

Sports Talk With Bulldog: A New Podcast that is joining the lineup of the 3 podcasts and will be also starting towards the middle of September. What I know of it will be both Video (YouTube) and Audio ONLY Platforms. Chris will also be active as Senior Advisor for Billy's podcast and if Billy cannot make it one week then Chris has been willing to step in if worse comes to worse but you will see Chris behind the scenes for the most part.

Power Rangers Collab Podcast: The Podcast you all know and Love will be returning this fall with a bit of a make up schedule for the podcasts. At the end of September he will be making up the Wild Force season then they two guys will be back in December for Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder as well then the two of them will decide what the next timetable is for the next set of podcasts that are gonna be done if Chris decides to continue as he's already put no interest in continuing but we will see how he feels in December.


                 There is our amazing lineup. Not all schedules are confirmed as we are just in the month of August but in time we will be announcing schedule wise soon hopefully. Some platforms still need to be created and put together and soon as Chris is finished with Time Force, it is on his priority list while he watches Wild Force and gets ready to record in September for his next collab and that also goes for the Video side of some of the projects but not all of them.

And Weeee're Back To Blogging!

               After a 1 day absence from the blog we are back to normal. Myself and Chris apologize... Wait we do not need to apologize as it was an Google issue really. Anyways any posts that were suppose to be done are scheduled for today and tomorrow. The regular update will be up on Sunday as usual. Things are back to normal and Chris had his panties in a knot over all of this yesterday and was really peeved off so to speak. On top of that we had a troll think they run the place on our chat when I was absent as I passed the heck out which we work 9 - 5 days Monday through Fridays and I even work on weekends on the email and Social Media outside the website but I cannot always be on the chatroom all the time really when we have work to do to get things ready to go for podcasts. Yesterday both Chris and I worked until 2 pm then had the rest of the day off so we had a half day working which is nice of him from this end to give a day off. There is plenty of work to do to get ready for Monday as you know from Chris's post on social that Power Rangers Podcast is coming back and that was one of the posts this weekend but we couldn't cause of the issues we were experiencing on our back end of the website.


               Let me let you guys know what the posts are for the weekend, today is this post and tomorrow is about a podcasts coming back and new podcasts to our network that we are bringing and let me hint with this, you will recognize one of the projects from back in March and no it isn't Everything About Reality TV as Chris made it clear he's retired from Reality TV Podcasts after nearly 5 years doing that podcasts and really the team and I are kind of just doing more prep work right now to prepare for Monday's recording sess. Like he said on social this beginning of September, we go back to full throttle on Podcasts and content. I think he's gotten something else in the back of his mind too and he may be streaming on and off from time to time. Not sure if it would be YouTube or just on our Facebook Fan page that he would do it that I could not tell you. Time will tell what he has in stored really and you never know what he has up his sleeve.

Addressing A Few Things That's Going On...

                 There has been so many issues recently across the board. I never thought in all the short time I have been with Chris and his team there would be so many issues. I will address them on this post and like Chris said if they remove this post so be it but it has to be addressed.

Facebook: The biggest headache for the last week or so as not once but twice we have had issues with our Facebook Community Fan Page as we have had issues with our scheduled posts actually posting. Now everything was on schedule technically didn't go up and remained in our scheduled section in the back end of the website which honestly has really put Chris in a bad mood again not once but twice. Chris has even thought about just focusing on Twitter and Instagram but he hasn't come to a decision on that at this point.

Ad Revenue: As you know we have ad revenue and recently we started to move with earning then Google goes and removes half the money we have earned and continue to remove money from our adsense. Chris is definitely keeping an eye on all of these issues and he's been going off on Google in the last 24 hours really not happy and he's been going off on social media yesterday ranting and threatening especially threatening to pull the CBOTW Fan Page all together.


                  He's not been a very happy camper from people threatening to report his social media to ratting him out to all this stuff going on with the two core things that evolves CBOTW and it's website and community. It is being monitored but he has actually spoken about sponsorships for the website or advertising on the website that could actually be a possibility that he could look into and he could actually remove the site from the Google Ad revenue all together and do something different? He has even said on Twitter he's considering Wordpress for a website or something similar that he has had at one point and no he won't be returning to 000webhost as that was a disaster. However this means he would be doing away with Google all together and he would have to re-create under another email switch over emails for podcasts etc which really isn't hard but we are locked with blogspot for another 3.5 years. So that is what is going on and I thought I'd let you know and hopefully the issues are resolved very soon.

Power Rangers Is Returning To Recording Thursday!

                  Who would think that I would be sitting here making the announcement after a rough summer with preparing this but alas here it is! The biggest announcement that we have done yet! I wanna break this all down actually. First I wanna say is we were gonna hold off but Tuesday, made the decision to focus on Time Force Notes then Wild Force which I have already started and almost halfway there at this point. However Time Force is the upmost importance first as I want to record an episode and get that done so I can start editing it and getting things rolling. Taking baby steps and once Time Force is finished then we move into Wild Force. I guess what I am trying to say is with these really hard times, we gotta do with what we have and with the studio on lock down and if we have to we will break it down if so but we are still going to be recording 3 times a year and we are trying to stay on the schedule we set out to do. However the title isn't lying, we are indeed returning next week to recording and your wondering how? How are we going to do it with the studio in lock down still? Well we will be recording via Skype as this was the original plan back in May. We're so excited and when I made the decision to record the podcast this upcoming Monday, I messaged Larry at 330 in the morning. That's right I message him so early as I couldn't wait on Tuesday to tell him let's do this, let's make it happen. 


                   Now with the state of our YouTube channel with it now pretty much screwed up as that we have a strike on our account and warning we will be doing it live but it will be over our Facebook Fan Page which is probably more then better then YouTube or any other platform. The entire YouTube thing is another story and Larry is pretty much right on the YouTube thing but hey we got the Facebook Page and we wanna go live to show you guys how it's done and maybe these podcasts can be live here and there but not always. So Monday at 7 pm EST, both Larry and I will be live on Facebook and we cannot wait to talk about this season. Now should be by end of the week when we get the actual episode up but stay tuned for an announcement to come in the release by mid week.

ChrisBOnTheWeb-- Weekly Update [07-25-2020]

               Here is another weekly update and boy what an week for us. Now we made some changes within ChrisBOnTheWeb that probably is now permanent now. Things are constantly evolving and Chris admits to making the mistake of ever bringing back his Reality TV. He went out with a bang as he did his Survivor Brant Steele so it was indeed a great way to finish off the podcast series. Also we have seen staff leaving like a revolving door.  However Chris (Reality Teas) is no longer part of the team and still a big supporter of the podcasts and CBOTW. We thank him for his contributions and we are happy to have him support us still. Anyways here are the updates we have:

- Website: Chat does not have it's own dedicated chat and it has been moved to the right hand side of the side and can be seen all across the website pages as you go through all the pages it is there on every single page on our website. This way it's all across the site. We are excited for this new feature. Now I know what about the social media buttons that we once had? Well that is on the back burner as Chris is in high gear in collaborations which you will hear about this week, actually tomorrow as I checked with him and he told me its on the whiteboard schedule for this week. We will announce once we move into that phase of adding. It is more like we have to find a spot for the buttons on the website to put this feature.

- Podcasts (In General): CBOTW and Chris has indeed departed ways with the TV/Reality TV Podcasts and obviously you know Power Rangers are reverted back to the collab page again and will tend to remain on there. Also you probably wondering what the heck is going on with Chris and other podcasts, well he has something in mind that once saw production and went on hiatus and the clue it's actually on the website under podcasts right now. However announcement is coming this week from me and excited to tell you the plans with that, There is a second podcast from another Staff member that is in Pre-Production and he is working on preparing it for September and we got a start date for it but we will not announce it quite yet but we will soon hopefully.


                   So you can see we have a ton of stuff of amazing new stuff going to happen and we are happy that offers have been given and we are just excited to be doing this actually.  We have a ton of stuff going for this website and a lot more and we cannot wait to tell you guys the plans on what we have planned. Also you probably noticed Chris has not been on social media much lately and has been relatively quiet across social media but mind you he is busy getting content ready for you guys so this is why the staff is trying to cover for him on a daily basis. That is our weekly updates for us and I will be be chatting with you guys throughout the week, tomorrow his important post will be going up and I will be back on Tuesday with another post for you guys.

Chris Has Sequestered Himself In His Studio

                   Well, Chris has sequestered himself in his studio to get times of work done. So probably the next week or so, you will not be hearing from him for a while and he apologizes but he needs to get this done if there is to be podcasts. However you will be seeing him Live which yeah it is strange in a way he will be active on the platforms but yet he's not gonna be active on Social Media. He's already let me know but has not yet informed his Staff of the changes and maybe what I can do is get Billy to do posts on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday but again we will have to see. We really do not know how long he is gonna be locked in his studio for and we will see how long this lasts. I kind of know why he's sequestering himself but you guys will tell as the week or weeks go on. He's definitely on a very tight schedule right now. I wouldn't know what he is up to as I am not in the same house as him, we're in our own studios or ends during this crazy time the pandemic. I am pretty sure you guys know a certain podcast was suppose to be done a month ago and he is behind schedule as it is right now. I'm sure it will be all self explanatory and I promised to not say anything and apparently he made me sign this NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) so this means I cannot open my mouth on things.


                There will be information from Chris, himself this upcoming week as one of his posts are actually from him under his username however he wrote this days ago actually. So before you actually grill us hey Chris isn't off social media he already pre-wrote it and he's told me to re-schedule it. Anyways the boss is totally focused on the project at hand and I cannot wait to see what he is up to. So you will see the Staff fill him for him and I will discuss it with Chris and Billy to what days who wants to do what with the posts but for the most part, we're good up to Monday in the way of posts for this moment. Please do check the socials for updates and what not to who is doing what for Blog posts while Chris is away from Social Media while working on major projects. I will speak to you guys tomorrow!

I Am Stuck On The Forest Level on Spelunky!

                  I have been wanting to do a post for the last little while to be honest. So today I am going to be doing a post update on Spelunky. So I have gotten to the Forest and so far I have been stuck. Now the good news is I can go back to the forest and try to beat it if I wish without going through the first 3 or 4 levels which is great. No matter what I do, I seem to struggle on the spikes, the exploding frog or the guy with the boomerang is my issue right now and I am pretty much on stuck on this. However I am not giving up on this game, I am getting a ton stronger at this game and there is no looking back on this whatsoever. I really am enjoying this game and it is a learning curve really. I still make stupid mistakes like dropping from a very high spot or even dropping on spikes and ending up dying. Yea I still make those very stupid mistakes on the game but hey it's part of the learning process honestly. I do play the game between working on stuff and I play sometimes half an hour a day if I get the actual chance to play the video games but recently it seems like that hasn't really happened much lately. 


                    Anyways that is my little update on the game and I try to play when I can and if I got the time and right now is not an option and you can tell I have been very quiet all week on social media but right now I do not think I will have time for the next week or so on video games but that's OK because it is really not going anywhere, anytime soon as it will be there when I am ready and able to play video games. The website comes first in my books first before being able to do any leisure time. When I get time then I can continue to improve the game and get a good run going but that is on the back burner for now but it will not be long till I start playing it again. Oh one more side note on the list is the darn piranhas in the pond of water but probably my own fault for jumping in so I gotta be more cautious but again it all goes back to it being a learning curve as its a level I am not too familiar with.  



Chris
