Hold on- changing the layout to add the PJ Media ads. Shouldn’t be too painful for you all.
*** Update ***
Up and running. There might be a few tweaks here and there.
I am now a slave to my corporate masters. Let me know if the load times have changed for you all.
JWeidner
Sellout.
You’ve changed John…You’ve changed.
John Cole
LOL. How was the load time?
Ozymandius
Loadtime seems fine.
Corporate whore.
Nikki
It actually loaded faster for me.
Corporate shill.
Nikki
…or rather…MY EYES! The goggles do nothing!
Steve
I don’t know if the “Seach Balloon Juice” option on the left bar is old or new, but I think it should remain exactly as it is, as a tribute to John’s creativity in the spelling arena.
Laurence Simon
I am refusing to ask when mine are so I can be totally surprised by them.
Perry Como
PJ Media deserves an award for the best branding campaign of 2005.
ppGaz
Load times are fine.
I assume that when you make it big time, we are all going to get invited to go on Larry King?
I mean, that is what I’ve been holding out for.
Ancient Purple
Load times are fine here.
Toady. Lackey. Flunky.
Everyman
Everything is fine at Everyman.
Now, then, what’s the story with the robe? A pajamas cover-up perhaps? And those waves coming out of it? Involuntary methane emissions? Those who blog don’t sit around in their robes making like . . . well . . . Robespierre (Oops! Is that what it means?).
Why not slippers, too? Get the feet-kinky folks on board with this thing as well. They, too, have the need to know.
But thanks for asking.
GrudginglyAffirmed
PJ Media ads? You mean double-click ads. Another half-assed effort by PJM/OSM or whatever it’s called today.
GrudginglyAffirmed
Speaking of the Robe; why are the lines backwards? Perhaps JC knows. . . Is it somthing symbolic?
JWeidner
No slowdown that I could notice.
And you’re still a sellout. You’re gettin’ so big, I can’t even get to your shows anymore. It’s like all the teenieboppers have their rich daddies buy them the tickets, and us real fans are left out
Steve
My load times seem faster now. I used to have really bad load times at this site in particular.
DougJ
The loadtime is fine but could you get rid of that panel that says “The NSA may be reading your comments”. It’s a little creepy.
Krista
For one brief, horrible moment, I thought that the menu of recent topics was gone, and was about to express my displeasure…but, I found it. All is well.
srv
I like that there are no ads at the top. Probably a feature.
Vlad
Huh. I’m probably naive, but up until now, I didn’t actually know you had a dog in this particular fight.
Krista
Completely off-topic (sorry, John…delete if you wish), but can I just mention that Tucker Carlson is a complete and utter douche?
John Cole
Vlad- Not much of a fight. I simply chose to go with a steay stream of revenue as opposed to the hit or miss of blogads. Nothing will change around here except the ads.
Ozymandias
Add it to the list Krista. Add it to the list.
And I probably shouldn’t show that to my Canadian friends. I think that might incite them to homicide.
Krista
Homocide? Not worth it. Arranging for him to become the object of affection of a recently released inmate named Bruiser, with a taste for bowties and rough sodomy?
Worth it.
CaseyL
O Great & Powerful Shill!
1. The site does load lots faster.
2. John’s doin’ his bit to help PJM/OSM/PJM burn through their VC funding. Yay, John!
3. Does that mean you’ll be posting more? Or having more guest posters?
4. Are the pjs footed?
Nikki
Oh my!
Shygetz
Congratulations on firmly affixing yourself to the corporate teat. May you engorge yourself upon buckets of cash like a leech that has struck and artery, all whilst removing the ill humours from your unsuspecting host.
Krista
Nikki — sorry honey. I’m not a violent person by any means, but there’s just something about his smug face, above that silly bowtie, spouting condescending, hateful words like that, that makes me want to smack him silly.
