BEAUTIFYING BREMERTON
With me learning more bits and pieces about HTML code, it means that things have been tinkered with and hopefully improved (both slightly visually and systematically), all of which involve the sidebar.
Things have been added:
-- Logos for some sites which will make things stand out more than simple text and having to distinguish between red/maroon letters.
-- The addition of popping up extra windows with the sidebar links was actually added a couple weeks ago, but we're still hoping you enjoy that, which you might not be if your Google toolbar is killing off the new window every time.
-- The additions of our Blogger profiles under "Our Other Sites." Learn a tiny bit more about us. Probably not much, but just a little. You still won't know what Jeremy looks like (his "pic" is a 2000 pic of Jay Buhner), and you won't know what I (Markus Naslund pic) look like, unless you really really dig for it. Interestingly, my hairstyle right now is a lot closer to Jay Buhner than Markus Naslund.
-- Here's the fun part of the process. Using our weak sister of a music blog as a guinea pig (we'll get to you, o poor underappreciated and underused music blog), and the fact that I have the templates saved on my computer and in an email account, I was able to bite one of the previous post portions of code from one of the newer templates that came along with the Blogger relaunch. The result is that Sports and B's now has a "Recent Posts" niche on our sidebar where you can access our last 10 posts, and I managed to finagle our names into the code, in case you've remembered one of our posts by whoever wrote it.
We're just trying to make it more convenient to you, the reader, the user of Sports and B's.
Have a great day, have a great Memorial Day, and Jeremy and I hope you enjoy the new changes and additions here at Sports and B's.
I've said it once, but if I have a bunch of extra time and I find a way to tinker with one of the new templates and get the same colors and stuff out of everything, we may move to a sleek template here at Sports and B's if Jeremy and I get around to it. But for now, I think the current template is doing all right, and these refurbishments hopefully make it better.
Lastly, the difference between ESPN's NBA coverage and TNT's NBA coverage --
ESPN -- Stephen A. Smith yelling constantly and irrationally. This reminds me of the Samuel Jackson Beer ads on Chappelle's Show. "NO, I CAN'T STOP YELLING!!! THIS IS HOW I TALK!!!"
TNT -- The following happened last night, toward the end of the Inside the NBA show...
[TNT upcoming movie promo graphic shown on screen]
Ernie Johnson: [reads off the movie promos, one of which is The Glimmer Man]
Charles Barkley: That Glimmer Man is a terrible movie.
Ernie Johnson (amidst laughs in the background): Thanks for that, Charles.
Of course, Magic Johnson on that crew is like the record skipping when the unwelcome guest walks through the front door at the party. The guy just weighs it all down like a lead balloon. It's terrible.
Anyway, have a great rest of the weekend, y'all.
