Handy Guide for Beginners: The New BMR

Welcome to the new and improved BMR!

We'll call this version 3.0, since I can't remember what version the old one was. We're all moved over from the old p.o.s. Blogger account (except Ryan who we locked in the bathroom) and it's going to take a little getting used to for us as well as you. This post is here to ease the inevitable tension and fear that comes with change. Hopefully it will not be too traumatizing or jeopardize future generations.

First things first. If you have been visiting the site through our domain name (www.BarryMelroseRocks.com) keep doing what you're doing. If you've been reading through a reader and still have the old blogspot feed, hopefully you saw our distress messages on the old feed and changed to the new one. If not, hopefully you find this post eventually.

Next up. We're still learning to use this site, too. It's new and very orange. You'll have to register a Bloguin account to comment, but it's worth it and takes only a few seconds. You can still see the old site in all its glory by clicking the aptly named 'old site' button at the top. To its left are the archives, which have all the old posts from Blogger on the new server. However, things got garbled in the transfer and there tend to be missing videos, pictures, etc. I blame Blogger.

Other than that, things should pretty much be the usual. We're going to figure out this whole Bloguin thing so we can get some cool new stuff going and if the site inexpicably disappears blame Pensblogcause they probablycrashed the server.

If you have any comments/suggestions on what you would/would not like to see happen here, please let us know. Otherwise come in, make yourselves at home and enjoy!

The Mullet on the B is particularly inspired. Everything looks all spiffy round here.

Yeah, you can. Just let Derek know and he can probably change it to the sweet logo!
