Hello!

If you’re someone who’s visited this blog over, say, the last 3 months, I’m sorry for all the annoying script pop ups. Here’s what’s going on:

  1. thecubsfan.com wordpress blog works fine, but there are no posts!
  2. thecubsfan.com wordpress blog gets hacked! (and usually someone else notices first)
  3. I spend a couple hours trying to trying to fix it (which turns out to be mostly deleting and reinstalling the theme, and maybe doing the same wordpress)
  4. I partially believe I have it fixed, but have no way to be sure.
  5. I’m so annoyed that I don’t want anything to do with thecubsfan.com blog for a while
  6. REPEAT

If not for the Joe Versus The World podcast (and, at least in theory, Justin’s podcast), I’d probably close down the blog. I already have 1 tumblr account I barely use, and the readership might go up from 5 people to 6. I could move the luchablog stuff under it’s own domain so it’s doesn’t look like a bad grade school product, though that would require rewiring of a lot of bad code (a time consuming task I have yet to find them time for.) Also, it’d make it easier to wipe from the internet all the dumb stuff I’ve written on this blog at one point or another (though all the dumb stuff I’ve written on the rest of the internet would still exist…) I could still do the JvsTW podcast without WordPress – I did it before there was WordPress, I am ancient in internet terms…

But I still believe this is the best way to handle that podcast and want to keep it going. For now. The plan is to keep this going and hopefully figure out and patch all the holes. If you come around some day and see everything in different places, it means I’ve freaked out and/or given up, but we’re still a little bit away from that.

As far as content for this site that might actually exist, I still do want to write about every one of this season’s 30 or 30. I still haven’t watched the Bo one, because I don’t want to have two posts bouncing around in my head. And I haven’t written the Ole Miss one because the only reason I come here are to fix things. At some point it’ll be better, I hope.
