What Is It Like Being An Site Admin For Chris?

                  Working for the Boss Man has been so much fun! Working on a day to day basis with his website besides my freelance job as a web designer is a ton of fun and something to do outside my regular day to day work and things been a little slow with that so been working with him on the website ideas. Now that I have the extra duties on the day to day while he's on a sabbatical as owner of ChrisBOnTheWeb, I have learned so much what his day to day activities are like. It's a ton of work but nothing that I can handle. I've had to make some tough decisions recently for example removal of our chatroom off ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and removal of the staff accounts that also are a part of it too. Now that it is done, I am on standby for anything else that needs to be done with the website wise. I do go to him if I am unsure of something and the other team members.

              Either way it has been an honor to be with this amazing team and I know he is blessed to have me and the rest of the team behind him 150% and put the hard work into the content that you guys see on a regular basis. Without us the Staff of his website, non of this could be made possible as we work on content everyday we are always coming up with new ideas for the website or content but either way, we continue on a daily basis to grow this thing and the view count proves it. Finally I wanna thank Chris for bringing me on as the New Site Admin and I am here to stay for a long haul. I also want to say thank you to you guys for welcoming me into this amazing community I feel very welcome to this community and I will speak to you guys tomorrow.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates [04-12-2021]

               Another week of updates is upon us and we have a few updates to give you guys. I am not going to stall so here are the updates:

Website: As announced on social media, we have closed the chatroom down and it may take a few days to get everything down, staff accounts etc. Chat is in Broadcast Mode but we have removed the link off the website itself and the page has been put into draft mode once everything is down then. This frees up some space for some other amazing content. We are going to be changing the Podcasts & Interviews section of the Podcast and Archives will have it's own dedicated page again with all the shows or interviews that have been archived on the website.

The CBOTW Show: Chris has been concerned about the Future of Big Brother Canada and Big Brother US as he's started to feel like the end is near for both but hope at least one will stay for the foreseeable future (Big Brother Canada specifically) He's worried and unsure what will be next for him and this podcast. 

Chris Update: Finally I know he was suppose to be back as Owner of the Website and has decided to take some extra time as he's been dealing with a death in his family down in the U.S. and he's not himself as he's been getting upset at everything last week and I think he just needs some extra time off. Not sure how long as he has not stated when he will be back at this point. I will let you guys know when he's ready to return to the day to day operations of ChrisBOnTheWeb.com so in the meantime you have me in case you got questions. 

                Those are the updates I will be covering him on the blog this week to give him some extra time to mourn the loss of his cousin and we should of done that for the podcast too and I am sure Jasmine would agree but we know Chris can be a bit stubborn at times and we just have to listen. I gave him no ands, ifs or buts, I told him he's off from the blog this week no questions ask. He needs some time and deserves it regardless. Anyways I will be talking to you all on tomorrow's blog post.

I Am Back On Facebook!

                After being in the sin bin aka Facebook Jail for a month and the last 10 days of my team unable to make posts I am back on Facebook as of 415 am EDT this morning. I have done the following to update you guys on things:

1) I have made Chels an Admin of the Page incase I go back to Facebook Jail for another month along with I have made Jasmine and Editor of the page so there is at least two people that have control of the Fan Page incase I land back into FB Jail again and I hope not and I promise to behave this time around and play nice with people. 

2) Chels has access to any of the staff groups which I wanna address that as something has happened, we had someone wanting to join the group but those groups are private and used for staff and podcast hosts only.

3) We have updated the fan page to the best of our ability what has gone on since the 27th of March today.

4) I am planning a live stream later on on the FB Page around 3 pm EDT and cannot wait to chat with you guys for a bit and get caught up what has transpired on the website etc. 

                I promise you guys to behave myself or I will try to (LOL). What matters is I am back on Facebook and back in the saddle once again and happy to be back to a more new normal for myself and it is business  as usual, podcasts tomorrow and Saturday morning and Monday, I return as the Owner of the Website as you know I have been off for the past month almost and it is time to return things back to normal again. It is long overdue. To be honest I was planning to return June 1st that was my goal but I think with me back things will be even better. Not saying Chelsea didn't do a bad job, she did amazing keeping an eye on things and what not but I miss being the Owner and I am ready to come back officially. I hope to see you all on my stream on facebook.com/ChrisBOnTheWeb this afternoon at 3 pm EDT and I will talk to you all on here tomorrow.

Minecraft & The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Updates

                  I wanna start with The Binding of Isaac Rebirth, I am currently not playing the game nor have it in my library at this moment due to some issues as I got the final DLC which I have to figure what keeps making the game crash. Anyways the last known time I actually played the game, I played with Azazel and went all the way to the Devil aka Satan and actually beat the devil which was a major big feat for me and I am still to this day proud of this moment of beating Satan on the game. I have fought against him once and died but this time beat him and unlocked a ton of things but I haven't played since the game will not load and they might have to end up fixing this bug as non of the other games crashed whatsoever so I kind of find it weird to be honest with all of this.

               Speaking of weird and game crashes, the Minecraft my nephew and I were on which had a ton built, railway, villagers, Office Building etc and my nephew and I have started to rebuild our empire and the main village will be huge! I have a plan with that moving forward and my nephew already built his house next to the main village and this village will be gated so the villagers cannot go in and out of the village. I plan on making 4 different buildings within this village. Office Building, Library, Workshop and of course my main building and there will be only one door in and it will travel will be all indoors through bridges. Now the Garden Centre and the animals will be below and there will be an way to enter both, there will be stairs in total 2 one going to the caves and the other going upstairs then stairs going down to the shop and garden center and the animals obviously. The Library and Office will have built in elevators which is brick, signs and water to get up and down. I have started the front structures and got the blocks in where the other buildings are. There will be doors on the outside and have pressure plates in and out of the buildings so the villagers can go in and out no problem as the doors are made of iron this time around. If that does work for em then what I will probably do is remove the iron doors and make wooden and might just do wood all together for the doors as the villagers can exit and enter as they please. Finally there we be a way to go from building to building with a bridge and if it is raining then you do not have to get wet which is an awesome idea. It will be a mini city with 4 buildings. Yes there will be an railway at some point too I'm sure, nether portal will be back too and we will be adding up to 12 Villagers no more then that.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates [04-06-2021]

              Another week has gone by and I hope you guys had a fantastic Easter! I know us the CBOTW Staff & Podcast Team did. We needed that well deserved 2 days off. We now back and here are the updates:

Website: As of 9 am EST the chatroom lounge re-opens to the public and it is business as usual once again. We have change the chatroom to Chat up on the menu bar. Also have added Interviews to our now named Podcasts & Interviews drop down and Interviews are now in the middle of that busy but exciting drop down. Some tabs are not currently active but hopefully will be updated soon. Finally updated the Archives and added Everything About Reality TV to the list on the Archives. 

The CBOTW Show: Now this is the biggest of updates is The CBOTW Show. As Chris stated on Twitter, views have not been good and bad with some of the podcasts more then Post Eviction chat has been the better of the views compare to the Recaps of the actual week then  the Post Eviction shows they do but Chris said and I agree with this: It has nothing to do with what show maybe it's the way it is produced. Anyways that is besides the point, the point I want to make is both Chris and Jasmine will be meeting today to discuss the change and Chris has already started working on the format and note pages etc. He really is taking this seriously and wanting to make some changes to the podcast. Both Chris & Jasmine have decided to not to merge The CBOTW Show with Everything About Reality TV Podcast as it is just too much work to re do the intros to all the podcasts and just easier and better to have a clean slate and start with this. 

Personal Update on Chris: As you already know, Chris is still banned from Facebook till Thursday morning which is 2 days to go to be exact as he's mentioned it but the point is he has been on Sabbatical/On Leave for nearly a month now and has not returned and he did announce he will be back on Monday, April 12th. However he feels like he is not ready yet. I give him credit he admits to not being ready but he has to be ready to return and it's been long enough. However he has decided to go through with returning on Monday and we're excited to have him fully back running CBOTW after 1 month off from the day to day operations. 

                 Those are the updates for the week and a lot of stuff going on with the website and Podcasts and shows and we are always trying to improve things on a regular basis. So with that have a great week, Chris will be back blogging tomorrow with gaming updates and some really cool posts he wants to do. I will talk to you all next week!

Happy EASTER 2021!

               Surprise! I have decided to do a post ahead of time to wish you guys a very Happy Easter not only from myself from the entire team here at ChrisBOnTheWeb. I know for those who are in Ontario like myself and most of our team that we are now in a lockdown situation again but best advice I can make the best of it. I am blessed to be still with my parents as I would of been on my own for Easter this year and unable to see em. So just make the best of it, stay home, stay safe. I know the last year hasn't been the easiest for any of us with the pandemic but just hang in there. We will be all vaccinated eventually and able to go out and see our friends and family. Please do me a favor if your on your own make yourself a nice meal for Easter, make the best of the day call your family, FaceTime, Skype whatever app you use. I highly recommend FaceTime or Skype so you can all see each other's faces.

              Now going to make this blog long today but I wanted to come on for a very short post and that I'm sorry I wasn't present 2 days ago but Chels explained why I wasn't doing a post. I will be back on Wednesday as stated the posts are on a stand still till Tuesday due to holidays and me giving my staff well deserve time off which I would like to say please take time to yourself and if you are with family enjoy every moment of it this weekend and both myself and Chelsea will be posting on Tuesday and Wednesday with some really great posts that we have planned until then, once again Happy Easter, stay home and stay safe.

Easter Schedule and Blog Schedule Change For Next Week ONLY!

              I am most definitely not Chris as he needed a day away from the blog as his mental health has been bad again and that is the upmost important thing right now for him is to deal with it more then anything. I think this pandemic has affected not only him but all of us and him being away for today's post will do him some good. Plus he was unavailable for the Big Brother Canada 9 Recap so Jasmine has to fill in for him YET again.... I say that lightly, something involving seeing his brother briefly and not sure how long he will be so he had no choice to take the day off and will be back tomorrow's podcast, little heads up on that. With saying that as you know this weekend is Easter and we are locking down the chatroom for Sunday and Monday as Chris has granted all Staff both CBOTW Staff (for the website and team) & Podcast Host Team those two days off to enjoy with their families. Everything will be back to normal on Tuesday morning @ 9 am EST we will be back to a normal schedule. This means the blog will be changing a little bit next week. Here is the changes:

Monday: No Blog post whatsoever. 

Tuesday: Weekly Update from me, Chelsea

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday: Blog post from Chris

             After next week, we will be back to a more normal scheduled post on Monday with the Monday weekly update back on it's normal day. I consulted Chris since he is technically still on Sabbatical and he agreed that would be a great idea. He has also requested more time away from ChrisBOnTheWeb and I have granted it so I will be in charge and running operations on ChrisBOnTheWeb beyond April 12th as he has not felt like he is indeed not ready to go back so we have extended his Sabbatical or Leave of Absence longer and whenever he is ready to come back, we will be ready to welcome him back with open arms. Until Tuesday, have a very Happy Easter from all of here at ChrisBOnTheWeb.

Minecraft World Updates!

               It is no secret that I have been playing Minecraft especially with my Niece and Nephew but I've been busy even off time when not playing with them and whenever they login again they will not recognize the server. So as you can see in the first screenshot is my are, my property, my house which is the front of the property. The bottom or below where the house is the Garden Centre which is home to all the wheat, carrots and potatoes. I would like to knock down the wall at some point and add a bit more but we will see and I can explore that option and start removing wall units and filling in the old steps and creating new steps but again that is something to explore especially with my niece and nephew. If there is a way thee is a will. Behind that and if you were to put a hole in a wall from the Garden Centre it would take you into the farm where all the pigs, chickens, cows and sheep are. Above the farm is where the horses are and we have a ton of horses even Billy Whiteshoes Johnson the III which is another story but I got Billy put away in glass so he cannot ever be touched. Finally the far left is the Office building which took my nephew and I weeks to build as we're talking about 6 story building which was suppose to be 16 stories tall so we would have to add 10 more floors.

        The other part of this and I wanna say as I forgot before to mention, to access the Office Building itself through the village aka the Villagers which this project took a long time and it is amazing how big it has become. You see the glass buildings everything to the right was the first build of the property there was a stone wall that separated the current to the current build. There was gates that were added in to access and I was the only one that accessed it but when I was ready to open it I torn the wall down. Anyways to the glass building which took countless hours to build. The one building is a greenhouse which can be accessed by either side of the building north or south side and same with the other building. The other building which is a lot taller in size but that is just like a greenhouse but with trees with foxes, parrots and bees which is very cool and it's very tranquil place to go to and just think my next move. That is my update and any other updates I will make for sure next week and I do have another gaming update but that's for next week!

Is The Website Done Being Built Entirely?

                 The website for the most part is done with being built but you never know with me that I would like something added into the website. All we have to do is build the community and bring in the views to the website and it has done really well 200 - 300 views per day. Yes we may eventually see podcasts added to our network but right now we have the collabs on the website and we have The CBOTW Show on our website. We also have a lounge Chels decided to actually open the chat back up to guests and we will just ban if we really need to. I think we put in everything that we wanna add to the site and we just maneuver around the podcasts and content here on the website. I just do not wanna put a ton more as there is so much room that we can fit onto our Menu Bar so that is always a concern of mine honestly. With the recent change of background as you see on the side that has a sideways "ChrisBOnTheWeb" on the side I just think we have finished building and tweaking the site to our specifications and all we gotta do now is start building the audience and fan base.

                So the final question are we done? As I said before I am pretty sure the tweaking of the website will happen still and we will still tweak the website from time to time but for the time being we are not adding new features right now unless you guys request it or have new ideas for the website. I wanna focus on building the audience and bringing more people to the website and yes I am referring to us shifting focus's from the site to the actual content that is on our website. However I am proud of what this website has become and the views it get's on a regular basis and just gotta keep up the hard work with the content and the views will improve on a day to day basis. Anyways that is my post for today and I hope you all have a wonderful day and I will be talking to you guys tomorrow's post and it is an good post coming, I can say that!

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates [03-29-2021]

                 Another week has begun and let me introduce myself, my name is Chelsea and I am currently in Nova Scotia and I am ChrisBOnTheWeb's new resident Site Admin since we had our other site admin resign. So Chris has brought me up to speed to ChrisBOnTheWeb & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and I have a bunch of updates I would like to make this morning so you guys know what is going on:

Facebook: Since the departure of our website admin which has turned everything into turmoil as Chris cannot post, neither can I or any of the team at this moment when Charlotte quit she unadmin'd herself from any of the pages on Facebook leaving the fan page crippled all together. Also Moderators which are Billy, Tiala, Jasmine and Chris S, cannot post as the page as a Moderator so the only person right now that can post is Boss Man Chris at this point. We apologize for the inconvience but please check Twitter and Instagram for details and I think reason Chris cannot make an editor or Moderator is cause of Chris's currently 30 day FB Ban. 

Website: I am on the chat now and you will see the name ChelsCBOTW on the chatroom from time to time. I think for the most part we are done with the build of the website and we are happen with it but Chris will be covering that tomorrow here on the blog. 

The CBOTW Show: Chris is working on re-working intros and outros for the merged episodes that we have now gained and we will be uploading to the audio only eventually soon as al l267 episodes are up then we will re upload the other 20 something odd episodes and then we will put our focus to the website feeds that you see on here that not all of them are active and live on the website yet and that is the reason why.

                  Those are the updates for today and I am happy to be aboard to help Chris out since he had to find another site admin and we will keep you guys updated on the Facebook situation and if he is able to make me an editor on the page that would be great but that is still pending but we will keep you up to date and if you see me post then that has been fixed but we'll see. Anyways I will see you around the CBOTW Community and I will be back on the blog next Monday!
