SITE NEWS
- I'll be moving to a new host this weekend. Hopefully, all will go well
and you won't notice an interruption in service. However, if things get
screwy, I blame the monkey. Also, many congratulations go out to frequent
Costa Rican contributor to BBspot and good friend, Francisco Rangel, who is
getting married on Saturday.
-If you're fond of traveling to the nether regions of the BBspot archives
and the stories contained within, you'll notice that many of the older story
pages have been converted to the new design. Slowly, but surely, I'll hunt
down all of them and put them out of their misery. The new design allows
much easier upgrades for me, easier navigation for you and a more consistent
design throughout the site for everybody. Also, in all this spring
cleaning, I cut out a lot of the excess code and image size on a lot of the
pages, so if you think the pages are loading a bit faster you're probably
right. They should really fly on the new server.
