Interesting Web Site

August 21, 2008

First and foremost, I am not claiming what that image says. In fact, I had some trepidation about doing this post, but after the initial shock (and laugh) its a serious site. Recently, on the open source WordPress forum plugin that I help develop, we had a support request from a site called I Married A Fat Bitch.

My first instinct, on seeing the support request, was that is was spam and it should be deleted. But, I went and checked out their issue (which is real, but not likely related to our plugin). I was still very curious about this site. A quick check of their About Page will give you a good laugh, despite the seriousness of the site.

Like I said, this is indeed a real site. And as an overweight husband, its my wife who would have the right to make a similar statement (weight wise anyways – not the bitch part) about me, I have to admit I found myself laughing out loud and reading more. I may have to check it out further.

Personally, I would be a bit more politically correct (and my friends would laugh at that) to present the info, but the site name is certain to draw visitors and might actually end up keeping a few visitors around to follow developments.

Lions Fan Site

August 12, 2008

With the upcoming NFL season, I need to make a decision about my Detroit Lions fan site. I really like the site and really like talking about my favorite NFL team, the Detroit Lions. Unfortunately, as one can see by looking at the site, I haven’t made a post since late June.

This isn’t from lack of interest but simply a lack of time. I did a lot of posting during the last season and the first couple of months into the offseason. But mostly, my time has been spent here on Mr Papa’s World and Cruise Talk Central, plus a few other miscellaneous sites I maintain. Throw in my work on the Simple:Press Forum plugin for WordPress and I don’t have much time.

I am contemplating abandoning the Lions fan site and just blogging about the Lions during the season here on Mr Papa’s World. I would really like to keep that site going, but it hasn’t garnered much attention but that’s going to be mostly due to my lack of attention. If anyone (Hi Tim!) wants to help out with the Lions site, just let me know. I probably won’t make any decision until around the start of the season.
