Intro

And we're back with this week's Weekly Update. Stay tuned for a recap of the fun times we have right here at BZPower.

 

Updates

So with my lame intro out of the way, we're in a little bit of a slow period these days. I know my schedule has been really crazy recently, but in a few weeks things should get better.

 

This past week I was finally able to share my thoughts on the recent BrickFest 2009. People still want to see pictures for some reason. I admire their dedication. :P Still, it was a fun time and I hope some of that comes across in my writeup.

 

Although we're done reviewing the winter 2009 sets, Gatanui still wrote a Review Rebuttal for Raanu. Be sure to check it out.

 

The latest Empire of the Skrall chapter was released on Monday to many a shocked reaction. I'm glad the story seems to still be going strong.

 

Not much else to say right now - but don't worry, just because not much is going on, doesn't mean the wheels aren't still churning in the background.

 

Mailbag

1: How often do you have to go into the HTML and all to change certain things on BZP? Or is there a edit button for everything?

2: If there isn't a edit button for everything, what program do you use to edit the HTML?

1. Invision is nice because the Admin Control Panel gives you a nice GUI to change most settings on the Forums and Blogs, although some things have to be done manually. Everything on the homepage is done in HTML or PHP.

2. I use TextEdit, because I'm hardcore like that.

 

1. With Ninjo on hiatus, and BR having quit, are planning to promote someone else to admin status?

2. When the staff do something like an April fool's prank, how many staff are in on it? All of them or just the admins and forum leaders?

1. We have no plans of promoting another Administrator at this time.

2. Depends on the prank. Usually it's just the Admins, and sometimes the Global Moderators.

 

What is the funnest part about your job?

I think promoting people to the staff team just might be the best part. Sometimes I wish I could see the look on their faces when they get the PM I send them.

 

Want to see your questions answered? PM them to me and put 'Mailbag' in the subject line. I'll pick the few I like the best and answer them in the next update.

 

Conclusion

Feedback and such is appreciated. Make me feel like I'm not wasting my time here! That is all.

Nice update to see. By the sounds of it, you probably had a brilliant time at BrickFest, wish I could have been there, but I'll be somewhere at BFair this year which is a good thing ^^.

:blink: :) <-- My face when I got your promotion PM (imagine a mixture of both emoticons). :P

 

Anyway, although there is not a lot of news, it was pretty nice as usual. The mailbag Q&As were very interesting, too. Well done!

You use TextEdit? Meh. I use... MW. Shame on me, I guess.

 

But the way I've seen staff being promoted recently, I'd bet that within the next six months we'll see an admin. :P
