It's Not Goodbye, It's See You Later
Well, the time has come. My virtual two weeks of notice have just about completed. I've cleaned out my desk and corner office at BYB HQ, while Kurt has moved in. If you scroll to the bottom of the front page, you'll notice the masthead has changed, with the new staff (and appropriate titles) in...
Passing the BYB Baton
Given what a crazy week it's been around here, this announcement may not seem well-timed. But it really needs to be made now, so things can go smoothly. I am going to be stepping down as managing editor and writer of Bless You Boys. I've given this much thought over the past couple of months, since...
Clerical Issues: New Design and Community Civility
Some of you may have noticed that the site looks a bit different today. Hopefully, the new format creates a cleaner look, especially in regards to the sidebar boxes. But I understand that people aren't always crazy about change, and might not like some aspects of this re-design. (There are some...
Clerical Issues: The BYB Principal's Office
I should preface this by saying that if you normally read the front page posts, but don't generally traffic in the comments or GameThreads, this probably isn't going to concern or interest you much. Pardon the diversion, and we'll get you back to your regularly scheduled Detroit Tigers blogging...
Clerical Issues: Mobile Commenting and Re-Tweeting
Some of you have already noticed, and a note has been included above the window where you can post a comment, but SB Nation launched mobile commenting late last night. So if you're not by a computer, or you're at work or the bar, but still want to comment on a post or participate in a GameThread,...
Clerical Issues: New Features for FanPosts
Earlier this morning, the SB Nation tech team rolled out some new features. And while some of them apply behind the scenes, the new publishing tools are available to those who want to write FanPosts or FanShots, as well. If you feel like you have something to say about the Tigers, baseball in...
Clerical Issues: Your Guest Host for the Next Week
Hope you don't mind a little bit of housekeeping, but I must bring a pressing clerical issue to your attention. First, I will be taking a week-long trip to Seattle, beginning on Wednesday. (Why didn't I go when the Tigers were out there? So I could focus on Ichiro without any distraction.) ...
Clerical Issues: Feeds and Buzz
Hope you don't mind a little bit of housekeeping, but there are a couple of clerical issues I wanted to bring to your attention. I don't know how many of you subscribe to BYB via RSS, but the feed I'd originally set up has been kind of wonky in recent weeks. I don't know if this happened to any...
We Got Knocked Down, But We're Up Again
All apologies for the site being down during last night's game and no Game Thread being available for what had to be some of the most fun both the Detroit Tigers and their fans have had in a while. Wha hoppen? SB Nation upgraded its servers on Tuesday night, while migrating all of our NFL...
