This blog uses Blogger to present the UMass Football Fanzone.

It's FREE. Thanks Google!

However, it does have some quirks. The longest thread in the support section is how to make blogger point a specific previous entry. Most people can't get that feature to work. I'm one of them. To get around that problem, I've set the posts to be archived by week, which is probably more in tune with football anyway.

If this is your first visit, be advised that images in the archived section may not show right away. I use FireFox and IE6 (however if FireFox does not stop wiping my bookmarks, I may switch to Opera). If you visit an archived post and see just a caption and a small rectangle, then click on the rectangle and the image will load. At least it does with FireFox and IE6...

One loaded your browser should cache the image. Note that in most cases, you can click on the image for a larger view.

Also, I've repeatedly set Blogger to notify me when someone posts a comment. That does not seem to work either. So I may miss your comment. If you really want me to know something, e-mail me. In addition, there does not seem to be a way to edit a comment once it's posted.

The Blogger formant is somewhat restricting and I may move the Fanzone to an independent server to give me more control over the presentation.

Visitors should note the "next blog" button at the top. Clicking on that button will take you on a long strange trip through the hive mind of blogging humanity. There are porn blogs, chamber of commerce sites, Icelandic poetry reviews and lots of "my-life-sucks" blogs. There is even one written in Arabic by the "Avenger". Don't know what he's ranting about, but he uses lots of exclamation points...
