Recent Changes

FANDEMONIUM SPORTS

For those of you that visit the site often, you have noticed a change in the format and the name of the blog.

I felt the the former name - The Jay Stick - needed to be changed to something that sounded a little more sports-like. After about a month of brainstorming ideas and new names for the site, I came up with what we have now.. FANdemonium Sports - for the fans, by the fans.

As I am sure you already know, the word "fandemonium" came from the word pandemonium which is often used in the sports world; meaning chaos, havoc, hell, wild uproar, medlam. The word originated in the book Paradise Lost; it was known as the capitol of hell. I changed it to FANdemonium, and it only makes sense. As the title indicates, the articles are for the FANS, and by the FANS.

You may have realized this already, but the old URL and link no longer works. It used to be www.thejaystick.blogspot.com, but with the new change, it was converted to www.fandemoniumsports.blogspot.com. Sure, it's longer to type and harder to remember but go ahead and click on that little star and add it to your favorites.

As well as the new name, the format has also changed. After some thinking and toying with the options you get with a blogger.com blog, I kinda figured out a loophole to make separate pages with your blog to give it a more actual site-like look to it.

If you look toward the right panel on the main page, at the top, you will see text reading "It's FANdemonium, baby!" This was actually taken from Dick Vitale when he yells, "It's pandemonium, baby!" Under that title, you will see five links; HOME, About FS, Advertising, Writers, and Contact. Clicking on those links will take you to exactly what they say they'll take you to. It helps clean up the main page and organizes everything much better.. as well as making the site look more professional.


Other than that, there has not been a whole lot else going on. We will continue to give you at least 2-3 articles per week as long as I'm running things. So snoop around, check out the changes, and come on guys, comment on those articles. It's sooooo easy. I want to hear your thoughts on everything.

If there is any other changes, you can bet I will let you know so stay tuned!
