Midwest Sports Fans Pick ‘Em Standings

I better take this more seriously…

Admin Note: I Feel Dirty

by Jerod Morris

I had to post this picture of KVB on the front page to cheer myself up because I officially feel dirty, slimy, and like a complete and total loser. Why? Because I just bit the bullet and updated the Purdue, Michigan, and Cubs pages with the live news feed widgets. We’re starting to get a little bit of traffic and I wanted all of the pages we have up so far to at least have the news feeds. Get to them by clicking over there on the toolbar. I’m just happy I’ll never have to visit those pages again.

On a positive note, we cracked 1,000 page views today and have had 210 unique visitors. Not bad considering I just released the site to search engines about a week ago. We even had one visitor get to our site by typing “Scott Stapp” in google! All because I described Aaron Rodgers as looking like Creed’s former singer and douche bag. Not sure how I feel about a search for Scott Stapp bringing people to the site, but any exposure is good exposure I guess. We even cracked $1.00 in total ad earnings! So keep clicking on those ads and visiting our sponsors! (like the ones below…)

To everyone who has written so far, I appreciate your excitement and involvement in the site. If you’re a visitor, don’t forget to register and contribute with comments, suggestions for site content, or even posts of your own. We were the ones who started this site, but we want it to grow into a comprehensive community of Midwest sports fans covering as many teams and topics as people desire.

Have a great Friday…and if you like this site, don’t forget to Digg it or Stumble it or bookmark it (links below). And come back soon.

UPDATE: To make myself feel better I just created a Tennessee Volunteers page. Much, much better. And no, Florida will not be getting a page. They are from the south. Even though the Vols are in the SEC, they border Kentucky. That’s enough for me. I guess at some point I’ll have to create a Notre Dame page. Ugh…

New Site Features

Just a little fyi…

We’ve added some new features to the site. You’ll notice that the index bar in the header has changed. We have updated the About Us page, added a Contact page so you can email us, and created individual pages for MLB teams, NFL teams, and college teams to direct you to our team pages. We’ll eventually get the NBA up there too.

Also, you will notice StumbleUpon and Digg links on every page. If you enjoy Midwest Sports Fans, we encourage you to share our site with others. Also, if you manage your own blog, get a hold of us. We are not as much interested in doing a straight link exchange…our philosophy is that if you like us, you’ll link to us. And we’ll do the same for you. But definitely let us know where your blog is.

I hope you enjoy the new features, and enjoy the content that we’ll be posting in the future. The NFL and college football are getting ready to start and the baseball playoffs are just around the corner. It’s going to be a great few months…and beyond.
