Made Some Updates

So you might notice a few new changes on the site (or this might be your first time on the site) there have been some minor changes made. First off you probably should notice the new menu bar near the top of the page. The links will send you to different sections of the blog, and hopefully help organize some of the content. Each section has a brief description of what content will go there already, however here is some more information on them:

  • Home Page- This will be the main update page. Not just updates to the site, but also updates to whats going on for the week. Here you can find out if there will be basketball for the week and hopefully if everyone does join, who is in and who is not, what time, and where. 

  • Video Page-Self explanatory, Ill upload videos and post them here for you to watch. I'm assuming it will be the most visited of all the pages and so I'll try to stay on top of it and keep it updated .

  • B-Ball Brain-This is where I will post my often meaningless thoughts on the basketball games we have been playing. Strange comparisons to nba players, ideal teams, just whatever weird stuff I think of that really has no meaning or purpose to our lives but pertains to basketball.

  • Coaches Corner-More serious basketball talk, includes my scouting reports on everyone, ways to beat certain teams or players, some plays that I may come up with, and information on techniques skills and plays associated with basketball. 

  • N.B.A. Stuff-I'll mainly use it as a post bulls game thought thread, but I may also put thoughts about other N.B.A. teams and links to trades and stories that are rumored, or I think of. Sort of like a blogabull-lite.

  • Misc-I honestly dont know what i will put here, this is to save you guys the 'torture' of being sent emails and texts at 2am because I listened to a music album or watched a new tv show or movie and I have to write about it. I'll leave this more for myself, but i would welcome anyone to read what i write (thus giving my work purpose)
Aside from the new section menu and pages, I have also added a few things to the bottom of the page. One is a counter that will keep track of the weekly visits to the page (just for me to track the success or lack-there-of the blog experiment) and at the very bottom is a recent comments preview. It will show the most recent 3 comments, or 200 characters of those comments, and who wrote them. I think it can come in handy for some people and just has a nice feel to it.

I again will ask how it all looks, the font, the color schemes, and the links and new features. Does the site look cluttered, messy, cheap, etc. Are there changes you want me to add, or something you would like to see more of? Just comment in the comments section (click the comment button below, I believe you have to join the blog to comment which you can do by clicking the Follow link above this post)


EDIT-Just added a small blogroll at the bottom of the page. Blogabull is on there for news on the bulls, I still suggest it is the best place for news on the bulls, and has a great community. I also added Beto's blog, he writes some good reviews on there, you can chek out his art skills as well, not to mention some updates on movies and games. Also all the old videos I uploaded of the first couple games are on their so If you wanna watch some more older basketball videos, make sure you visit the site.

  1. The sites looks cool..i like the background and the transparent black but also has boring or dull feel to it...i would suggest pics of nba action, rose dunking on dragic would be nice...i am also suprise by lack of support from other people but maybe ppl didn't have time

  2. Seriously want me to add a few derrick rose pictures or animated gifs? I added some videos in the video section, and ill keep updating that. I'm gonna try to make at least one post for every section before the weekend. I dont know if we have the gym this week or next, but im definetly out for both weeks due to economical problems. I should be okay to go in march however...
