New Home Under Construction

I program database driven websites if any help is needed.

Actually, my biggest need is CSS. Starstruck has the graphics down and I’m trying to create a “theme” that will present the site in that fashion.

I was wondering where Starstruck had been. COOL looking forward to it!

I am good with CSS.

Instead of saying good, lets say I’m very capable with CSS as I use it on a daily basis.

www.jsadams.net

this is a personal site I’m working on using CSS to employ the theme.

while it may have had the look of the soviet high rise………it still has become one of my favorite spots to keep up with DA BOYS!!!

Oh, the vodka is cold and the music is good, but we could use a site more in line with the subject, especially since this year is looking pretty good.

Oh and Rafael can you guys get the Margarita machine fixed too…..it’s been acting up

I’ll take tequila to the opening…

Hey, It’s the content that counts, and the content rocks! I’m still looking forward to the new digs, though!

After my life in the desert this Ruskie high rise and it’s inhabitants have been a real oasis. Looking forward to the same tenants in the new digs even more.

Cowboys 9 -7 (better if Fujita and Burnett come on strong in replacement of Singleton and James).

Can’t wait for the new website Troll still has a home i hope??

I donâ€â"¢t know if you and raf have considered it but what about
adding an Nfc east section to expand the blog since i know the
money from trolls kidneys ainâ€â"¢t going to last that long.Seriously
you guys would have to be more on toes maybe add a moderator
or two to keep out the language and behavior so common on
other sites.I think there are alot of people looking to talk football
in a civil manner but get put off by the vitriol found elsewhere.The
Nfc section would be a subsection the blog would still be about the
Cowboys.

just hand me over a bottle of jagermeister, cold and im set for the night. awesome cant wait to see the finish product. thank you guys very much for the best cowboy site, you guys really are second to none

Yes great site guys!Keep up the good work! I was checking out the Chargers site and one report was talking about Henson being Bledsoes backup……sheesh,BP is gonna have Henson inactive and not even dress him for the game……I can’t wait to see us kick some Charger butt!! GO COWBOYS!!!!

I’m the nonalcoholic type, so give me an IBC and a stogie and I’m good to go. That’s great about the new digs, that was the first thing I noticed about the site when I first saw it. In fact, I kept looking for another Cowboys blog for a couple of weeks because I thought this one looked too girly to be serious. Then I started reading it. Now I’m hooked. All that being said, a new facade on this old lady will go a long ways.

Hey guys. HAve you looked at many other sports blogs to get any ideas? There’s a Rangers blog that gets alot of press, http://www.lonestarball.com/. It’s not the best looking site in the world, but it does have a few nice features. The members are great, it’s associated with a bunch of other team blogs, and if you’re registered with them it shows you which threads have new posts that you haven’t seen. There’s also a diary section where members can post other entries, which really helps to organize the talk. Check it out Raul and Rafael, see if you get any ideas.

Troll should have his own column. Russia isn’t all bad gents, I’ll take a bottle of STARKA anytime. Congrats Raul and Rafael. Thanks Starstruck. Don’t forget to give us instructions on how to register and log in to our new “dynamo” blog. I look forward to the new features and “ZVOLOCH” free COWBOYS BLOGGING.

YEEHAW! GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Raul,

Can’t say I’m in agreement. This site is what it is and what it is makes for good, solid Cowboys reading. I would hate to see it get cluttered up with all the crappy graphics which other sites have, where you have to scroll down 5 hundred times to read 5 lines of “wow, great graphics man!” All I really want is what you have already provided. Great content, why mess with success?

JV:

Not to worry. I’s not a graphics-intensive theme that we are going for – more of a better background and presentation, if that makes sense.

You’ll see…

JV:
If a female singer has a voice, good looks are a plus… This blog has several voices, now we need a little makeup… :D

If it were up to me, I’d be interested in more functionality on the users end, more that how it looks. I’d like to be able to edit my post for instance, or perhaps delete it as well.

Raul,

Are you good with CSS?

Cash,
Good points. I think our founders would like to attract more advertising, therefore the new background etc. Hey, who wouldn’t like to be their own boss. Having Rafael report full time would be awesome.

editing would be good for the fact you could elimiantepeople double posting (like me) for when i remember something i wanted to say after i hit submit

r the ppl who predict the boys to 13-3 serious??? Althou I would luv to c it, that is just stupid. Come back 2 reality & understand that they r not going to b playing Jag’s 2nd string defense & those of u that think they will sweep the eagles….come on now! THINK….. the boys will b lucky to win the one in dallas, futher what makes u think they will beat the Giants both times? Redskins r a bust, granted. So there u go. I can say in the NFC east alone, they will lose 3 games. So 10-6 is if everything goes perfect & 9-7 or 8-8 sound more realistic to me!

Can’t wait to see the new site. DO you guys do any marketting other than word of mouth and search engines? Is it difficult for you to do any of that cause of the trademarks?

Altercall,

That’s a scoop-based platform, which allows for self moderation, since everybody rates each other. I’d like to have scoop at some point in the future, but we’re taking care of ourselves fine right now.

That Rangers site is part of the SportsBlog family. It’s run by the people who run DailyKos, the political blog. They’ve built a network of scoop-based sports blogs that are interconnected. They’re baseball only right now.

re: CSS capability – not really. On a scale of 1 to 10 I’m probably about a 3.

RE: More Functionality

I think those types of things are available when you register. If you scroll down on the right navigation area you will see a link (I think) that says ‘Login’. Click that and tell me if it allows you to register or just log in. If it allows registration, you can always register and then I believe it allows you to edit your posts, but not others’.

off topic, but dallas released bruce thorton and resigned ogbogu, after an unspecified injury to burnett

They also signed S Tony Bua to the practice squad and released RB Keylon Kincade.

Let’s give credit to Nick Eatman of DallasCowboys.com for being the first to report that Bruce Thornton was released and that Eric Ogbogu was brought back. Also, according to Eatman, Kevin Burnett may have a cartilage injury and is expected to miss Sunday’s game.

I dont see a place that allows registration.

Here’s a few news tidbits from San Antonio’s paper….In one article by an AP writer BP says he finally has his type of team(3-4,bigger LB’s,work horse running back and a backup QB worthy of starting) also…city officials are hammering at the Saints to call SA their home and play their games here promising to fill the 65,000 seat Alamodome.former mayor Cisneros have agreed that SA would be perfect and they have/and are in talks with the NFL as we speak(maybe you guys up north might get to see all of the Cowboys game on Monday if they decide to let the Saints play here)also BP says he feels that his punter may very well end up in the pro bowl.

Hey Ron,

Are you related to Nick? He works for the Cowboys. Giving him extra credit for being the first to get their press release is like giving a pilot credit for landing his plane on the runway. (Credit to Bill Maher, who supplied me with that line.) I’m glad for the information, but it’s what he’s supposed to do.

Can’t Wait For the new site.

Rafael,

I am not related to Nick Eatman. He reported a few details, and I simply gave him credit, not “extracredit”, for reporting them first. I don’t really care who he works for. As a matter of fact, if you had reported it first, I would have given you credit.

Chris
Call me stupid, call me crazy, call me what you want. I may be wrong, have been before, but I would prefer to believe and be wrong than be negative and be right. The game is enjoyable to me because there is always hope for the team to get better week after week. I see the changes that have been made and I believe. Now if you don’t like it, tough.

cowboys sign tony bua a safety, anyone have any info on him.

Anybody with thoughts on Burnett being out for 2-3 weeks. I think that may hurt us in development terms but Ogbogu brings some experience that I’m glad to have on the field. Another negative is that we get hit for Ogbogu’s full salary for the year.

This will retard Burnett’s development, but on the bright side; it will give us another chance to trade Ogbogu and have SOMEONE ELSE pick up his full season’salary.

Well, turns of destiny… I was right when I predicted that Ogbogu would make the roster… Now that Thornton’s gone (prolly headed for the PS), I guess that now that Ogbogu was paid for the season he’s going to stay and bring his 4-6 sacks a season (or more, the 3-4 is edge friendly) unless something comes up in the form of a trade with a Safety involved.

Chandus,

I’m glad Ogbogu is back on the team. I hated to see him let go. Burnett’s injury may be a blessing in disguise, because he’ll make a difference this year. We’ll need his veteran presence.

Rafael, Raul, & Starstruck:

This site may look like a Soviet highrise, but it feels like home, including the crazy uncles who keep repeating the same stories over and over! I can’t imagine that dressing it up will improve its quality that much, but I am ready to be impressed, and wrong. I already feel like I read about half a dozen of the better writers I ever see regarding the Cowboys on this site. Even when I disagree, at least I have to think about why, instead of feeling like I just tried to satisfy my hunger at the neighborhood McDonald’s, which never fills or satisfies very long.
