Rather than drag out the site upgrades over a lengthy and tedious amount of time, I've decided to begin the upgrades today. I will be completely finished by Sunday, and when you come back here Monday morning, AKA William will be all shiny and sexy and new. It's gonna look so good here that you'll want to lick the screen. And me. And I wouldn't be mad at either.

Okay, y'all. I am out of control over here. Some of my super amazing upgrades have caused a few . . . snafus. Nothing serious, just time consuming, which is why the postings are so erratic. But, I am soldiering on. I'm going to post the usual standards today - Bar Snacks, Lady's Brunch Burger, Politics Happy Hour, AKA What You're Looking For - but in abbreviated form. Once I get things cleaned up over here, posting will be back to normal.

Thanks for being patient . . . .

Boy, these past two days have been rough posting days! Yesterday, it was the internet. Today, it's the upgrades to the site I've been making behind the scenes. They're taking a little longer than I expected, but they are completely worth it. Check out the new "Related Posts" feature at the bottom of each post's page. (Just click the post title link on any of the posts - for example, you can click "My Apologies" at the top of this post to be taken to this post's page.)There, you'll find links to posts and articles that are, well, related to the post you're on. That way you can find more of what you're looking for!

In the spirit of improvement, I am going to spend the rest of the afternoon installing another new and great feature. If all goes as planned, it'll be up by the end of the day, and I'll be back to the regular posting schedule bright and early.

Make sure to come back to check out all the new features!

Okay, it looks like my internet connection is back up and running, which means I am back up and running. After I realized I couldn't do anything to immediately get things working, I went to a local cafe to have some coffee and wireless. Only this was that everyone else had the same idea. I had to sit on chair with no table and with the laptop actually on my lap. Who does that? I was one jostle away from losing my computer along with my internet access. I worked like that for as long as I could, but eventually I had to head back home to internetize my apartment again.

Can I just say that I was offline for just one day, and I feel like it's been ages. How can so much have happened in just one day?!

I'm just going to jump back in to the river and start swimming. My apologies for what I missed.

Oh, and did you notice that I broke The Media Bar post down into its constituent parts? Better, right?

The number of today's posts will be abbreviated while I get my internet up and running.

And what's up with Tuesdays being the technology-fuck-up day?

I'm having some pretty major internet issues. Getting them worked out. Will be posting as soon as it gets sorted out.

I need to do some more technical maintenance so there will be no more posts today.

But come back first thing in the morning! The Media Bar will be open, and I'll be serving up some Audio Espresso, too!

Okay, I am closing shop for the rest of the day. I need to work on a few last-minute tech issues before our World Premiere on Monday. We've been in Beta mode for the past few weeks, but we are going to be good to go on Monday, November 3, 2008!

But before you go and have a drunken, costumed, dirty weekend be sure to check out a naked Brent Corrigan over in The Media Bar. (Yeah, it's NSFW, but it's the weekend right?) And you gotta listen to my girlfriend Rachel Maddow's ENTIRE show in Audio Espresso. And today's posts cover how we're gay in "Gay Sex DOES Make Babies" to some more nekkid boys in "A Good Stiff One" so make sure you scroll down a bit and see what's going on.

So come back in three short days to be at the official launch of AKAWilliam.com! All kinds of gay? Yup. Because it takes all kinds.

Happy Halloween!

Posting will be light the rest of the day while I make some technical upgrades to the site.
