As summer creeps closer, things are heating up in the BSO Empire. Since the site is nothing without our loyal readers, I like to keep you up-to-date with some of the new and exciting things that are going on.
1- Mobile Launch
People have been asking me for months when BSO would have a mobile site they can check while they are on-the-go. Being an owner of a Blackberry that is literally attached to my hand at all times, I can totally understand wanting to have the ability to check the top stories quickly, anywhere.
Because I am a man of the people, your wish is my command. You can now access the BSO mobile page at:
So bookmark that in your cell’s browser and you will always have access to the most recent stories from BlackSportsOnline, as well as our archives. Even if you forget to put the “m” in front it will still recognize you are accessing the site from your cell and give you the option of the “mobile” or “desktop” versions of the site.
2- New Server
Last week, I was informed by someone in the IT department of my previous host that the amount of traffic we were getting crashed five servers. I still don’t believe that, but it is very important to me that the site is always up and running and to be honest, we have outgrown our host.
So I pulled out the Corporate Not-Exactly-Black-But-A-Lighter-Shade-of-Gray BSO Executive Business Edition Paypal Mastercard and upped the funds for our brand spanking new dedicated server.
You should already have been noticing faster page loads and now the only server we have to worry about crashing is our own.
3- The Interns
As the BSO Empire and my personal career have grown, so has the amount of work that I was being required to do. In March I literally worked so much I was advised to get a physical; I hadn’t had one in 7 years and shockingly, I am perfectly fine. To ease the burden we have brought on a few interns.
You will see them post articles from time to time, and they will also be covering events and various projects for the BSO Empire, so treat them as you would treat me. Actually… try to treat them better, ’cause you guys can be rough on me sometimes.
4- Stylistic Changes
Made a minor adjustment on the banner, cleaned up some of the ads, and tried to make everything a little more user friendly.
5- MySpaceModelsOnline.com
If you need a good laugh you might want to check the homie Max Power at MySpaceModelsOnline.com. Trust me – it’s worth it.
