Housekeeping and Trying Some New Things

Just a little FYI to both of you who read …

With football season approaching quickly (Whooo!) I’ve decided to do a little housekeeping here at Gate 21 before the silly season begins. Given the fact that I seem completely incapable of just leaving things alone when they are working, I am going to remodel a bit, do some cleaning, re-organize here and there, and generally muck the place up. In all likelihood I’ll end up having at least one or more major crashes as I make changes and create problems.

Bearing that in mind — just like the ongoing renovations at Neyland Stadium — I will be kicking up a little dust here at the Gate over the next few weeks. Thus, if things look odd or unusual, don’t worry too much. Of course, if they stay that way for an extended period, or if the blog appears to have completely “gone up to be with Jesus” feel free to email me and let me know what you see. This is especially true for anyone using Internet Explorer since it is notoriously mean and nasty to websites and this site is optimized to be viewed with the Firefox Internet Browser (which is the best browser there is in my opinion and is available for free download).

Along the same lines, I am still figuring out what is new with the latest version of WordPress — which is what makes Gate 21 possible — and thus far have only caused problems once. I’m sure I’ll make up for that lack of ineptitude in the near future. To make matters even worse, this post is the first one that I have posted from a new piece of editing software I am trying out.

Needless to say, there are a lot of reasons for this blog potentially crashing and burning like Tennessee Volunteers did versus the Florida Gators last year…

Thus, be prepared for some bumps and mishaps. To make sure everyone Is safe, however, Gus (my Volunteer-esque “mascot” in the header) will be wearing a hard hat until we get things squared away.

Either way, I’m still going to be posting and operating business as usual, just looking a bit different as I remodel Gate 21 for football season.

After all, even if I don’t have anything to say worth reading, at least I can make things look pretty…

– Go Figure …
