5 Days Till Launch: IGotNewsForYou.com is Coming!

We've all been so busy getting IGotNewsForYou.com ready to launch, and with other things in our lives (apparently my dad's now taken to seeing how many chocolate-covered almonds he can fit in his mouth at once...) that the blog has been left to sit here a wee bit abandoned. I'm sorry blog. I missed you too. Truth be told, I'm not sure how many posts we'll be doing this week since we're launching in 5 days. FIVE DAYS PEOPLE! HELLO?!?! Sorry about the yelling, it's just the pure panic swelling up inside me. I've been popping Pepto Bismol tablets for the last 2 weeks. Barring any unforeseen lunacy or last minute problems, we will launch IGotNewsForYou.com on Saturday, April 29th. Immediately thereafter I expect we'll be giving out the free subscriptions we've promised people: friends, family, contest participants, and others. It'll take awhile for us to get to everyone, so don't panic if you don't get your free subscription right away. Give us a couple days, I promise we'll get to you. And, we'll provide all the instructions you need via email (and probably on this blog) to get you started using the website. We're incredibly excited and nervous about the launch. We really hope people get a kick out of the service. We know there will be lots of feedback: positive, negative, constructive, etc. and we look forward to it all. As soon as we launch (barring the site crashing on us and ruining our lives) we'll start work immediately on more content, more features and more fun. On another note, today I almost blew up the blog. Technically, it was Blogger's fault, and if I had more time I'd probably switch to Wordpress or another service, but during the course of trying to save some template changes, Blogger barfed and destroyed my template. I had to find a cached version from Google and restore it. It was irritating work and it may not be 100% perfect, so if you discover a quirk on the blog please comment here or email me. Alright, before this dies on me, I'm posting this -- and if you don't hear from me this week it's cause I'm knee deep in personalized humor, crazy HTML/CSS/JavaScript code (crazy for an assbag like myself), testing and final preparation. See y'all soon!

I have a bit of experience with Wordpress and movable type and I prefer wordpress. If you have any questions along those lines let me know. Not that I'll do anything that will help really, but I'll nod my head and try to look useful.
 
Can't wait for the launch guys! Thank you for allowing my participation in this awesome service. As soon as I see the site launching I am going to scream at the top of my lungs, shoot my pistol in the air, fart the star spangled banner and clap. Yes, I shall clap very loudly.

Disclaimer: While I do own a pistol, local laws prohibit my discharging it in a celebratory manner. I guess I can always say that I saw a large bird about to attack me.
