Thanks for sticking with me through a long and lazy summer of zero updates

September 7, 2009 by vongsundara 

Hello readers. Thanks for sticking with me through a lazy summer. This website actually still averaged over 100 visits a day despite my not updating in two months.

I just completed phase one of the upcoming updates: fixing broken links. All YouTube links across all stories are now working again. I started working on a discussion forum, though I don’t think I’ll be launching that anytime soon, as I need to set aside time to write a theme that matches the rest of this website.

I’ve taken away some old features like the photo section. I’ll be redesigning and upgrading this component with full Flickr integration (below is an example of some Flickr integration). In addition to that, I’ll be adding a Press Kit section that will include my bio, headshots and more for members of the press or for fans who are interested.

I’ve also added a Facebook Fan Box, which will hopefully help more people click on Become A Fan on my Facebook page. My goal before the end of the year is to reach 500 fans.

The biggest new addition is the More On This Topic widget at the bottom of this page. The content is syndicated from around the internet and will help add context to my blog posts.

The big decision for me coming up is my coverage of television shows. Last year I covered America’s Next Top Model and American Idol to great success. I just don’t think I have the time this year to cover serialized shows. I may switch to reviewing pilot episodes, as this will be on a case-by-case basis as opposed to a weekly commitment.
