Everything should stay the same for users but there’s always a chance that something might hit a snag along the way.

Recently I had been having a few troubles with my version of WordPress, the blogging software that powers BCB. Posts were randomly going private and removing themselves from the front page and a few other bizarre things were happening. I figured that I would just upgrade to the newest version of WordPress that came out [...]

You may have noticed that the site looks a little different. I’ve decided to change the layout some and so far I’ve been pleased with how its shaping up. I think this layout presents news in an easier to read format. Everything is about 90% done but if you encounter any nasty bugs shoot me [...]

Recently spammers have started to spam the comments section of Bay City Ball. Even though I know that all of the readers are very interested in finding out about lower mortage rates and discount deals on Cialis I’ve decided to enact a couple of measures to stop the spam. Only registered users can post in [...]

Welcome to the brand spankin’ new Bay City Ball! Leather upholstery, A/C, and a 12 disc CD changer are just a few of the perks associated with the move. The site will be slowly coming together over the next week, so don’t be alarmed if things look broken now and then because they probably will [...]
