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.

Reason Why Chat Was Removed Again Recently...

              Recently I tried to have had the chat back on the website and it didn't last long yet again due to the chatroom not connecting and it was Chatango that was the issue. I could of put another chatroom in it's place but I decided to not bother as it wasn't being used or the trolls that I had with disrespect towards my management team which is unacceptable. So chat is permanently gone I am no longer wanting to have a chatroom at this point. I honestly thought someone reported the chat and Chatango removed it but it was them having some issues with the chat servers went down so that was the issue and honestly it was becoming a headache to run a chat community and I think it was the right move. I even went to the Chatango version of the chatroom and it still didn't work. It is best to have less headaches then have a lot of headaches. What I am trying to say is if it isn't working it's just not worth it to be honest.

               To be honest the website alone has done fine without the chatroom and I know there should be another way to get the views but if it wasn't for the issues with Chatango, we would of kept it and it would of still been running and Joe probably be running the chat and on there on a regular basis but it is gone and nothing I can really do. I'm doing just finish with chats all together at this moment. Honestly there is other projects or things we could do within this website right now then run a chatroom. I know I made the right decision in the end and I am doing what's best for me and my website. So if you guys ask about a chatroom on this website, the answer will most definitely be a no at this moment. That is all I have to say and I will not be on tomorrow's post nor Sunday as I said in an announcement the other day, Joe is taking over the blog over the weekend. Tomorrow he will be introducing who he is and his role on my Management Team along with Tiala and Billy and Sunday the usual weekly update which he is taking over to give me a day of rest from a very busy week. I will speak to you guys on Monday, have a great weekend!

Rumors Going Around About Me and The Recent Hiatus Collab Podcast Announcement

               I know with the recent announcement of Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast going on Hiatus as of start of early next year due to our scheduling being wacky and non stop technical issues and yes I still am having problems and I will highlight some of our issues that we had in another blog post next week at some point and not sure when though but you will see it. Anyways, I have had emails from some of you guys that the reason there will not be any podcasts is because 1) We're waiting till June and 2) I am going to be on Big Brother Canada next year! Yeah, sure, for one I never auditioned this year. I admit I was going to but just had no time with the new podcast and Collaboration Podcasts and I wanted to audition. I know I have 15 days but with the state of COVID-19, I do not wanna risk myself getting the virus being in the house for 3 months. I know I'd be safe and production would take care of me but honestly it isn't worth it. I mean I can wait one more year unless that was an All-Stars season for BBCAN10. Plus I am one busy person constantly creating content for you guys and with this recent transition from my own Reality TV Recap Podcast Series to Personal, Business and Self Help Podcast.

              However, I give you guys credit, it is a very good cover-up why I would drop the podcasts while I am playing the Big Brother Canada game and it makes totally a lot of sense why a hiatus would be doable but I ensure you, I am not going on the show, not this season at least, I wanna make sure I continue to grow the podcast as it is heading into it's second season in January. Also the reason for this hiatus is to fix things with the collaboration podcast which again I will highlight on another post next week. It will be a long several months but I think it will be worth the hiatus while him and I catch up on notes and fix any tech issues. Anyways this made me laugh and you guys are putting ideas in the back of my mind when I end auditioning and getting onto the show down the road. Just have to make the time away from content and planning would have to go into that. Anyways I will see you in tomorrow's post.

My Motivation Hasn't Been All There Lately....

                   The last while, I am noticed that I haven't been motivated to work whatsoever as I have been dealing with depression and mental health being stuck in Isolation nearly 8 months now and it has been a struggle. I have been really trying to get the workload done and finished and I managed to finish it. I have to realize this, I have to put my priorities in order and I have been good to do that. With not being as motivated has put both Larry and I behind schedule with the Collaboration Podcast and it is my fault. honestly. I wasn't prioritizing myself properly. Today for example I know what I have to do is get the podcast recorded this morning for the weekend, edit and I am sure while I edit I will end up start the next collab podcast while waiting for the recording of the current one to happen. Anyways I need to remember to know when to stop with the workload and I need to stop at like 3 or 4 pm EST or even take breaks to help me get refocused and keep on the right track.

                    I know I haven't been overly active on Social much and lost tons of followers but I need to remember to make posts from time to time.  In the end my Mental Health is the most important thing for me to get under control first and that is why some days you don't see much in making many posts at this moment and I promise you guys I need to get posting a ton more during the day. I made a video post yesterday which is very rare I do anymore as I am just busy with the work. I need to be more on the ball with being active on Social Medias and I know when I am depressed like I have been, I tend to not say anything.  I should be a bit more open with you guys to be honest to how I am feeling and the fact I have been working non stop doesn't help with my depression nor the motivation of bringing out content especially on time like today which is extremely late coming out but that's OK we have lives to live. In the end I really need to buck down on social media posts more and start making a ton of posts as recently lost a ton of followers.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast Wild Force Notes Are Finished!

            Last night and today, I officially got done with the notes and to be honest it was a really tough time getting em done. I know I spoke about it last night at length that is the reason why my absence on social media and how I went entirely quiet and that is the reason. With the notes finished, I can now focus on getting the next set of notes for the next two Podcasts. I do wanna share with you guys the schedule for the podcast coming up:

November 2020 (Date TBA): Power Rangers Wild Force Collaboration Podcast

December 2020 (Date TBA): Power Rangers Ninja Storm Collaboration Podcast

January 2021 (Date TBA): Power Rangers Dino Thunder Collaboration Podcast

----------Hiatus Begins After Dino Thunder-----------

Alternate Schedule (In Case We Fall Behind Schedule AGAIN):

November 2020 (Date TBA): Power Rangers Wild Force Collaboration Podcast

January 2021 (Date TBA): Power Rangers Ninja Storm Collaboration Podcast

                                             Power Rangers Dino Thunder Collaboration Podcast

----------Hiatus Begins After Dino Thunder-----------

             I hope this makes entirely a ton of sense to where we are coming from with the changes and with the Hiatus looming very soon, I can say this: the Hiatus will be a lengthy one and yes when I did that Image with the announcement which I can post it on here on the left hand side and when I said we will be back in 2021, I meant it. We have to figure a few things out with production wise, fix any tech issues we may have. I can say this two of the podcasts will be in the Fall and one in the late Spring into the Summer. I wanna try and get myself ahead of schedule a bit so this way all we have to do is record. Also the fact that we are recording in a bit of a different environment and the fact we are not in the same room s one another, we were not prepared for all these changes and it was a last minute split second change as this pandemic has affected the production of this Collaboration Podcast greatly and we just did not talk about it till May/June on a decision to record the podcasts Via Skype for the foreseeable future. We had tech issues and so many other problems, we were just not ready for all these changes moving forward. So that is our schedule moving forward up to the point of the Hiatus and we will have more information on the next set of episodes in the next 4 - 6 months from now when we know we are ready to go for the next set of episodes. Thank you for your understanding and both Larry and I appreciate the support you have given us regardless of how we record.

Spelunky 2 & PGATour2k21 Updates!

                I told you guys and promised that you guys that I'd do an update on the video games between the two and I am excited to say that I have made some progress and really big progress on both of the games. So I wanna start with Spelunky 2 and I have officially made it to Caves 1-4 and the unfortunately I ended up being rolled over by this big dude and I didn't have anything handy in my items as I used em up which was a mistake. Also I didn't know where I had to go and it was in a hole in one of the sides. But I have to be swift and quick to make the move or destroy the ball rolling guy whatever his name is. Not sure what it is what it is called whatsoever and I couldn't tell you. I have been even very sneaky with the shop keeper and using the machete on the game. One there was an explosion in the shop on Spelunky 2 and the Shop Keeper was sacrificed by Kalli by accident lol. Was funny actually and it was honestly the funniest thing that I have ever seen, however I am having a ton of fun with this game and I can officially now say that I have been able to reach Caves 1-4.

                   The next game I want to mention is PGATour2K21 and I can tell you guys now that I am dominating every single event or tournament which in English that means that I have won every single tournament so far and in this Genesis Tournament I am in the lead with a few strokes at this point. I had it on very easy, then easy then I think it's on normal but still a very easy to and I think I am just too good at the game. If you remember me saying at one point I have played the Tiger Woods Golf series for PC in the past and very familiar with these types of games to be honest and honestly I am enjoying both games I have updated you guys on. I will keep you guys in the loop with updates as I get them. I hope you guys enjoyed today's post and I really wanted to do this update and you guys got the update. I will talk to you guys on tomorrow's post.

Weekly Updates [11-01-2020]

             It is time to make the weekly updates and not much to report really. However I made some tweaks to things. So fair warning this is a short update post as nothing to report that is major. Anyways here are the updates:

Website/Social Media: I once again updated the type of website as this is and I know I went back to my original motto but I went back to being an entertainment website which seemed to work. So what I did was change back to the original motto but instead of 2014 I put the start date when I started up as a content creator which was 2005.

Power Rangers Podcast: I really need to get the Collab done this week and today I have been working on it today and probably one of the reasons this post is now late but Larry and I have to start working on it. It is kind of one of the reasons why we are going on a hiatus once we finish up Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder is to catch up. I do have a almost set schedule in the back of my mind and I know you won't like it but I can say this, it is half way through the year but it is what it is and if we need a break to try and catch up, so be it.

                 There is my updates for the week and I told you that it isn't much as nothing much to report but me working on the entire podcast and that has been the work that I have been doing and hopefully I wanna aim to get to 30th or 35th episode today and just a final push tomorrow to get the notes finished up and done with for the day. Anyways that is the update for this week and I will see you all tomorrow for another blog post which is going to be an gaming blog post.
