Welcome to the new website.  This version was supposed to be released last Monday to celebrate the two-year anniversary of the site, but Mother Nature was a real mother fucker and kept me in LA (without a computer) for longer than I expected.  So apologies for the delay, but seriously – fuck off. 

Content-wise, the site is similar to the old one, though this one is much more navigable.  There will be some kinks to work out over the next few days/weeks, but we will continue to improve it and make it prettier for you.  Some things that need explanation:

1) I ask that you sign up on the right for the new monthly newsletter.  Basically, once a month I will be sending out a post via email.  You will not be able to find this post anywhere on the site – ever.  And it will be a good one.  March’s email post will be the much-talked about “10 Dudes I’d Do” post.  So enter your email in the box and expect a post in the middle of the month.  Please be advised that there will be curses and swear words of the highest order in these monthly emails, so be sure to use a non-work account if you have filters.  And of course I will not share your email address with anyone.  I might, however, email you at 4:13am on a Tuesday asking you to meet up for hoagies and oral, but that’s not a bad thing, right?  (For more information, click here.)     

2) Ladies and gentlemen, we are now searchable.  So if you’re looking for a specific post or whatnot, you can find it very easily by entering text in the search box.  Now you can go ahead and download every “Six Songs” I’ve ever done.  Sweet.

3) Many thanks to Dan, who designed the banner or header or whatever it’s called.  I felt a little bad because Dan went out of his way to offer several different designs of the header and I went ahead and picked the simplest one.  But as we all know, I’m a simple man, so it works out.  Thanks again to Dan.

[We're going to have some fun with this too, changing it often, and even allowing readers to submit designs.  Of course, I won't pay you guys, but I'll link you or something.  But we'll work on that later - baby steps for now.]

4) Many, many thanks to Site Guy Brendan, who really went above and beyond the call of duty here.  Brendan pretty much did everything for this site, putting up with my phone calls that ran the gamut from “Dude, this looks retarded!” to “Why isn’t this working?” to “I have a crush on [Site Guy Brendan's roommate] John – what do you think my chances are?”  Brendan is a gentleman among scoundrels and I am unduly indebted to him for all his help.  I am going to give him a serious massage next time I’m in Boston.      

That’s all I can think of for now as far as items, but I’ll be sure to give a shout if I remember anything else. 

So take a minute, look around, and get comfortable.  If you experience any technical issues or problems, please let Brendan know at brendan@jasonmulgrew.com (we’re working on the intro and the “more blogs” page, so don’t email him about those).  Conversely, you can also email him to tell him what an excellent job he did.  Unlike me, Brendan doesn’t get half-naked pictures of you guys.  So please show him some appreciation by sending him a nice email.  And keep the naked pictures coming to me, please.

But as I said, we’re going to be working out some bugs over the next few days and weeks, so we ask for your patience.  Brendan and I will get everything sorted out soon enough.  Unless one of us goes to jail.  Which is entirely possible.  But I don’t want to talk about that right now.

Enjoy.
