My New Site
I believe in the past I mentioned how over the offseason I wanted to start a Tiger website with profiles of minor leaguers and other cool things. Well, about a month or so ago, I was able to finally get that site up and running, and it's taken off nicely. For a while, I had not wanted to mention that site here, because this site was getting decent regular traffic as well and I didn't want to sap that away. I figured I would just post at both, and everybody would be happy. Well, it turns out when you start putting a lot of links and tables in your posts, posting at both turns out to be a bit of a problem. I probably spend too much time on these posts as it is (my dog is thinking, "Yup, you do") and taking the time to format a second time just adds more time sitting up in the computer room by myself. So, while I'm not saying I'm not going to post at this site anymore, to be fair to regular readers who have been coming to this site for a while to read about the Tigers, I just wanted to point out that I may be doing stuff that doesn't make it up at this site.
Why didn't I just put the new features here? To be honest, I couldn't seem to get other baseball sites to take ID seriously as a place to come for baseball because we've always had more than just baseball here. It turns out my concerns on that matter were legitimate because as soon as I started Talking Tigers, (I hate the title, too) links to that site popped up all over. No baseball blogs I know of ever linked here, despite almost identical content. I guess when people want to read about the Tigers, they don't want links to Fair Housing at the right of the page or the occasional rant about our country's shortcomings. That's probably not entirely accurate, but I'd bet it's also not entirely wrong. And, while I don't care (much) about gaining recognition at other baseball sites, I do enjoy gaining as many readers as possible and those links from other sites really help in that regard.
So, good and loyal readers, do with this information what you will.
