For those of you who are recent to my site, I started this awhile back. I put my site online back in December of 1998. I don’t have any particular reason why – or if I did, I can’t remember it all these years later. :) But I did get at least one really good season during all the time I’ve been running this site. Too bad it was the first one.
Anyway, I’ve been doing the site in “blog” format for a couple of years now, and the years from 1999-2004 were in the “old format” I used to do. Tonight I started moving the old entries into the blog format. Once I eventually get them all done, I’ll be taking the old pages offline – that should help kill off some dead weight on this site (the total space usage for this siteis seriously large). Plus there will be benefits like searching old reports, etc, etc..
Anyway, if you look down the right hand menu of the site, you’ll see categories for 1999-2004 that weren’t there before; I started putting the old entries in. It will take awhile, as they all have to be done by hand. Requires cut/paste of old writeup, formatting the box score (which I want to save), and manually setting the date so it will show up in the right place. Not exactly tough, but it can be tedious. Plus with about 200 entries a season (162 regular, 30 or so spring training), there’s a lot of them to get through.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for visiting the site. I know I’m not the most popular Rangers site out there, but I do get enjoyment still out of doing the site all these years later. I just wish they’d win a bit more often than they do.
I just discovered your site recently, looking for Rangers forums I could join. I really love your “seat selector” feature, it gives me a better idea of the views than the one on the Rangers official site does. Now I just need you to go back and take more pictures from different sides and places in each section and make it more comprehensive. So get to work! ;)
You scared me Joe! With the introduction you had, I thought you were closing the site down. I did not know ’98 was your first season doing the Rangers recaps. (Hmmm, that’s not a bad sounding url there….) Glad to hear you will keep the site going. I don’t comment a whole lot, but visit an awful lot. Keep up the good work.
