It's been what 4 years now with the same board layout?

aren't there any styles or upgrades you can do to the site?

It's spring cleaning time!!

BTW on another note.....how is the chat going? the noon chat? if i can make it there today i will check it out.

Pring! Long time no see.

I never went to the noon chat so I have no idea, but apparently there was supposed to be some video interview thing going on during the noon hours now... Every time I've gone to the link it's been a blue screen...

I agree that the board could use new colors... it's so... green. lol.

Actually, it's almost summer now. ;)

The plans right now are to do a major over haul of the site this summer. It will be the biggest make over this site has ever had before. Bigger makeover than when we had the name change even (no, we are not changing the name). The reason is we are moving over to something called a CMS (Content management system). To pull this off we will probably be down anywhere from one day to a week.

On the 12 noon chat. This will re-launch very soon. We are still working out some bugs, but the new version combines the chat with a live online streaming internet show. This will be where and when I also do all interviews for the site. It will also include music. So interviews, music, and chat all as one daily event. There might even be some live performances from "Rock My Monkey studios" (aka my living room)! This should re-launch either next week or the week after.

If you want a preview of the show, check out our Saturday night show where I am testing things out. It's at 10 pm PDT. :cheers

Yup. The hope has always been to use a custom CMS, but time has always been an issue. So we are going to try and implement a full CMS. It will mean losing many of the things that the press agents have loved about this site, many of the things I like about it, and I am sure many of the things you all love, but it will be easier to maintain and I hope it will look better as well.
