You might could be wondering why this version of the website took so long to show its ugly little face, and how its ugly little face is different from the last ugly little face. “It’s not that different at all, why the hell it take so long?” and “What the hell are these changes you made?” you say. Well, I’ll tell you why, just keep on reading. (This is some hardcore boring shit, so if you’re not really the type of soul who wants to waste a good 3 minutes reading this shit, then tune out and try out some other linkaroos.)

Content Management System: This is the number one reason it took us so long to pump this baby out. “What is Content Management System?” WRONG GRAMMAR. The correct question is “What is A Content Management System?” Well, it is this little diddy that we fire up and tell what we want the site to show, and it writes the web pages in internet language for us, links them all up, and does all the other tedious shit that we used to have to do ourselves, and waste hours of our life just for one video. Instead, I decided I would waste weeks of my life in hopes that maybe those hours I saved would, somewhere down the road, add up to more than the time I put into the site, so that I would feel some sense of accomplishment… But that’s really not gonna happen.

Valid XHTML and CSS: Whoa, talk about some cool acronyms that mean nothing to you, those last two that you just read were pretty groovy. Anyways, this is the new internet language these websites were written in. All it does is make us able to change the style and look of the webpage from this ugly ass look to some crazy cool futuristic looking design really easy (but that probably isn’t gonna happen, you know how we do).

Extras: “What the hell is Extras and what happened to Features and Profiles?” Whoa, I cleverly kinda-answered my own question in a hypothetical question that you could easily have been asking yourself when you first feasted your eyes on the new version of this old website. Well, Extras is what came out of us realizing that we needed to organize the site better, Profiles didn’t need an entire section, and Features was getting shafted. Extras is gonna be the spot for random stuff that doesn’t belong with the interesting content like Videos or Pictures. For instance, this article will most likely end up in the Extras section.

Our Daily Whatnots (aka the news): The front page has been changed, so it is now the only place you can find the news, other than the soon-to-come (yeah right) news archive. If you are cruising the other sections of the site, you aren’t gonna want to read the same news you already read over again, and you sure as hell don’t want it hogging up your precious screen real estate.

Color Coding: Remember those color by number animals that were all the rage in the sixth grade kindergarden? Yeah. Well, our website is kinda like that. Anyways, the important thing is that:

• News’ss are in red
• Ask Cans’s are in green
• Videos’s are in orange
• Pictures’s are in blue
• Extras’s are in purple (we ran out of colors, sorry about this one and the next one)
• Links’s (in the links section) are aquamarine/teal/blue-green
• Links to other places (like in news’ss and Extras’s are black with a clever little underline under them, but links to the videos and stuff are the whole thing, picture, words, box around it, you know)

Order: All the sections now display the media in chrononalokinigal order and have a tidy little picture of what the media is about. The most recent media update has a larger picture, to show its significance, but the older media still has their pictures there too, in case you missed some updates or just wanted to check out what used to be cool. This is also happening on the front page of the site, in case you didn’t check out the site recently and want to see more than just the most recent media update, or incase we updated a lot over a short period of time (yeah right).

That’s it, you made it. You’re at the bottom of the article, there’s no way in hell you read all that above this. You definitely just scrolled to the bottom to see what I had to say, in case it might be important… Which it is, don’t ask me how I found out, but the following will change your life; The Clinton Administration discovered 3 alien races and eradicated 2 of them, and the 3rd went on to win the 2000 and 2004 Presidential Elections.
