New Web Site

Just a quick announcement on a restart of a web site that I'll be the NASCAR writer for. Sports Review Magazine has been around since the 1940s. They went electronic in the last decade. I started writing for them last summer, and this is the second overhaul since then. Hopefully this will be the last one.

We should be up and running this month. All the major sports will have dedicated writers, even hockey. I'll have links on my blogs, and I hope everyone checks it out....at least once.

Here's a link for a sneak peek. Top secret..........

http://www.sportsreviewmagazine.com/index

Thanks,
Gene

  1. Just checked it out Gene. Looks pretty good. The main page is difficult to see with the color and size of the article fonts. Will check it out again when you are rolling.

    What is it like to be famous ?

  3. Thanks Rick. That's not the final design yet, just the direction that it's heading. The sports news feeds on the lower half of the page won't be as prominent once we have our content rolling. And, hopefully, the revolving pics (like Fox) will feature SRM's writer's stories.

    The guys that own the magazine---the Acho Brothers---are the famous ones. They've introduced me to some big names already.

  7. Kristen....thanks, again for the support. You have really pumped blogspot up for all the old Fox crew.

  9. Its a bummer blogspot doesnt have a central place for us -- I have kicked around the idea of doing a nascar blog with all of us listed as authors and we could use that as Blogger Central and keep our individual blogs linked to it...

    FOXsports is a disaster now...its a big social networking site -- I think bloggers were getting a bit too threatening for them to continue to support!! And I dont like gettin' diss'ed! LOL

  10. KLV....Fox is a disaster. I don't have an hout to reply to five comments. which is what it takes with their new system.

    I may look into a free web site for NASCAR fans to say what they want to say....as long as it's nothing bad about Jr.

  11. Nothing bad about Jr.? Is that considered censorship? Oh well. Perhaps with Eury Jr. out of the picture things might turn around, I hope.

  12. Klvalus:

    I think we can do that on Blog Spot. Just have to set up a NASCAR location and assign all as authors. Don't know all the details yet but it can be done.

  13. You may have this all figured out by now but I shot an email to Lori. She's in ALABAMA BLOGGERS (isn't that a neat name? LOL) cause I thought they had a central location somehow. I haven't heard from her but I told her to contract Kristen. That's all I've got.

  14. I have seen the Alabama Bloggers site...I think we just have to come up with a unique name for the joint blog and then someone has to register it and then add us each as authors.

    Any suggestions on the unique name??

  15. Thinking is your department. I'm just here as group cheerleader! As PHOTOGR says,"It's a gift, I can't run from it." - GO, TEAM! LOL

  16. Looks like a pretty cool website. Wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose to do.

    I have almost completely quitted posting on FOX Sports. Their re-do makes it harder to write my blogs. I can't even post a picture off the internet anymore.

    P.S. How did you put that cool Spinout logo at the top of your blog???

    ReplyDelete
  17. I meant to say quit, not quitted... lol. Too bad we can't edit our comments here.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Photo...Well, he doesn't have a top 10 finish since Eury Jr was canned, so.....

    ATH....I'm going to look into how to do it. I hope you meant Kristen or Photo were the thinkers...lol

    KLV....All we need is a name. Could you maybe post some suggestions on your blog and let people comment?

  19. Gonger....Look at the upper right hand corner of your blog page. Click on 'customize'. Open 'Layout' tab.

    The layout screen will let you add a header, like Spinout! It also lets you add gadgets....polls, pictures, youtube, etc.
