I recently made some changes to the site’s template, thinking, “once these are done I’ll post an update on the front page” …and then I promptly forgot the update. To be honest, this post is more for my reference than anything. Months from now when I’m asking myself what the heck happened to such-and-such, I’ll check the archives page for the site updates category.

Classy segue! I added an archives page, which you’ll see now in the top navigation. This is something I meant to do a long time ago when the archives in the right-hand sidebar started stretching towards Antarctica and I cut them at 12 months. Basically, you can find what you’re looking for based on tags under the Topics heading at the right, based on publish date under the Archives heading at the right, or with the Seek box on the left. But if you’re wondering, “what were these guys up to in April of 2006,” or “what are all the different post categories,” the archives page is the place to be.

This may be useful to the handful of new subscribers I’ve seen registering on the site lately, assuming any of you are not spam-bots. Which reminds me - welcome, non-spam-bot subscribers!! The other changes you’d notice if you glanced at Before and After versions of the site are the result of overdue housecleaning. I removed the music and movies links from the top stripe and dropped them under the posterior section, to reflect the fact that they’re dated content we’re unlikely to mess with in the future. Last but not least, I added a book link, which points at the book I wrote in college and recently moved into WordPress.

Yes, when I was at Miami I tried to write a book. Overall I’d say it was a great exercise in wasted time and failed self-promotion, but I still hope the thing’s a worthwhile read for any random high school juniors or seniors - or even college freshmen - who stumble across it here. Details on the In Dependence page.

I just now realized that IMAO.us posted a few of the pictures I sent them for entry in their excellent lolterizt series, and can only assume HostMySite’s WordPress servers are crying a little as a result of this site having… you know, more than 7 hits. So if you’ve followed a link here in some sort of stupor and are wondering what the deuce is going on here… wander a little further! Thanks, Harvey, for the link.

While I’m on the topic of IMAO (now that they’ve linked us, at worst this will come off as retroactive butt-kissing instead of the usual link-begging), I should point out that if you’ve not visited their site a good place to start would be Frank J.’s Nuke the Moon essay, for which I’ll admit a troubling affinity.

For all of you on the edge of your computer chairs at home, you can relax now because issue 3 has been posted.  Just click on the thumbnail below or on the ‘comic’ link above, sit back, and enjoy the thrilling third installment of this heroic tale.

Here you go, the long awaited second installment to our new groundbreaking web comic!  Just click on the ‘teaser’ below to be magically transported (via the interwebs) directly into the lives of our three heroes!  As always, we hope you enjoy.

Here is the moment I’m sure you have all been waiting for, we are finished with the first installment of our brand new web comic. Just click on the thumbnail below to see it. Enjoy!

We are getting alarmingly close to posting the first installment of our new web comic “Simply Heroic.” We seem to have most of the issues ironed out at this point, so you will most likely see something within the week. Neither one of us is a professional at this by any means, but hopefully you don’t hold that against us too much. We hope you enjoy it. Here’s a little ad that I made real quick just for fun, think of it as a preview of sorts.

You may not recognize me from any previous post(s), and there is a very simple reason for that…this is my first post. I am not new to the site, I have been involved - at somewhat varying levels - since its birth. I will most likely not be making many posts here, but I hope that all of you can put up with my ramblings from time to time. I do plan, however, to stay active in the background. That is all for now, I just thought I would introduce myself to everyone. Enjoy your stay at thathero.com!
