Welcome to the new new home of Blogging The Boys!

by Dave Halprin on Dec 9, 2005 1:37 PM CST in Dallas Cowboys News

Greetings Dallas Cowboys fans and welcome to the new Blogging The Boys. We've moved to a new home here as part of the SportsBlogs network. They've asked me to be their blogger for the Dallas Cowboys and I'm honored to accept their offer.

The guys who've been reading Blogging The Boys (BTB) this season know what this blog is all about. To them I am grateful, and I hope they'll enjoy the new format which will allows more input from you, the readers. Now you can be writers. For more on what I mean by that, click the Diary link in the upper right.

For the new reader, you've arrived at a community of loyal, knowledgeable, partially insane Dallas Cowboys fans. We talk about the premiere franchise in all of sports 365 days a year. We invite you to stick around and add to the community. You can make your voice heard or you can just lurk and read all the great Cowboys information on the blog.

Here at BTB, we love to talk football and we love to debate all the games, strategies, players or anything else about the Dallas Cowboys. We celebrate together and we suffer together. And we always do it respectfully. We don't go for personal attacks, excessive profanity (in fact I limit mine to a damn or hell every once in a while), or off-topic fights about politics or religion. We talk football here, Dallas Cowboys football for the most part, and we have a great time doing it.

To take full advantage of the blog, sign up for an account (upper right), it's quick, painless and free. Once you do, you can leave comments and create your own diaries.

I'm counting on the regular readers to help me keep the news and discussion flowing at our new home and create the first diaries, guys like the following who have been reading and commenting for a while.

A special thanks to you guys.

A word about the people who are making this possible. SportsBlogs is a network of sports blogs (duh) and you should check them out. There is a list of their sites in the right hand column. I want to thank them again for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank the guys who've been reading Blogging The Boys this year and welcome all the new readers.

Oh yeah, one other thing.

"How 'bout them Cowboys?!"

My favorite Bears blogger and now my favorite cowboys blogger both in the same network. I just wish i could use the same account for both

FYI

At the admin level we have a tad bit of control over userids, search functions mostly, so they keep each site seperate.

Plus, I have admin rights on my site, so to not allow me to carry my admin rights to another site would probably get a tad difficult.

It's not only that

but it also keeps the trolling to a minimum. Can you imagine if a 49ers fan had automatic access to this site? Or a Packers fan to the Bears site?

That's why we don't do it.

Thanks for the welcome

I'm excited to get started here. I'm posting a moving message on my old blog in the morning so those guys should start showing up.

The Cowboys start their playoff run on Sunday, but the Bears are looking sweet for the playoffs already WCG.

Oh yeah!

The picked the right year to let me start a Bears blog. Would have been rough to get going if we were 2-10. Oh wait a minute...that is the Packers record, isn't it?:)

The new home

well, I just arrived at the new place, walls a little bare, needs a splash of color, hang a few pictures, get the furniture laid out and set the way I like it, fill the fridge with some cold ones, invite the boys over, get the T.V and wireless connection hooked up for the notebook, set the T.V to CBS, surf the net to Blogging the Cowboys and get ready for some Dallas Cowboy football. I'm not feeling to comfortable about this game, Dallas will put up a big effort, but I think the playoff quest ends in this game,

Kansas City - 24
Dallas Cowboys - 20

But I'm hoping I'm wrong.
GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!

Hey Deke

Glad you found the new home, we'll all be unpacking over the next few days and I'll be filling out the new home with a lot more stuff, but we still have Cowboys football to discuss. I'll have my game preview up a little later.

Guys like you, Monkey, Tom and the rest need to help me get things going here, I look forward to your first diary.

Sweet new digs

Congrats Grizz! Looks like your excellent blog has received some well deserved notice. I'm happy to be a part of the blog team, and hope to contribute positively to the new site.
Got the new page bookmarked, got the NFL magz and sports page layed out, got Sunday afternoon free, ready to see the Boys get back on track at home this weekend. Should be a great game.
