I know that some people have been having problems with the RSS feeds and there may even be people that don’t even know what RSS is. I updated the right side of the page to show a few buttons to make subscribing to our site easier. If you have the newest version of iTunes (Mac or PC) then it couldn’t be any easier. Just open up iTunes and click on “Podcasts” on the right side of the screen. Then just drag the button
to the list of podcasts and it will automatically subscribe you to it.
Also, if you choose to use your favorite Podcatcher to subscribe, such as iPodder, iPodderX, or Doppler, then you just add the feed http://www.geekshow.us/mp3.xml
See, it couldn’t be any easier, could it? If you want to subscribe to the main page and get updates whenever we make them, then just add the button
to your favorite RSS reader. If you have any questions, problems, or requests, send us an e-mail to geekintertainment@gmail.com
Look for OGG and AAC formats of the show soon!

I don’t want to take up too much of your attention or time with this, so this is the last time I will make a post about it. We will likely make a small blurb in each podcast, but nothing else should be posted on the blog. We plan to make this site/Podcast Sponsor free as long as we can. However, this is an exspensive hobby. Already, we have spent over $400 to improve the quality and host the site. If you would like to help us make additional improvements, please donate. We aren’t asking for a lot. Below is our suggested amounts. Any amount(Above $1, so that something is left after paypal takes their cuts) is welcome and SO appreciated.
Recommended:
Monthly: $1 per month
Yearly: $12 per year
Once per Century: $120 (We can dream, right?)

Well guys, the new equipment is in, and does it ever sound nice. We recently purchased a new Microphone(MXL990), a new mixer(Behringer UB802), and a new Compressor(Alesis Smashup). Not to mentioned cables, a second Mic, and other assorted goods. After going nearly broke, we are proud to say that the quality of the show will make a giant leap forward. No longer will we be thrown off by hearing our voice echo…

After two full days of work (all while at work), the new look is finally implemented. Thanks to Freak_Zombie and Photoshop, the new look is much easier on the eyes and just pleasing to look at. We know of one issue with the site on IE, but if you’re still using that poor excuse for a browser, then clean the spyware off and go download firefox.
I want to say a special thank-you to all the people that have made such a contribution to making this whole thing possible and helping to get the word out. Please keep up the good work and if this is your first time here, please tell others to come and see it.

I just wanted to let everyone know that there are alot of changes going on behind the scenes. The big thing is the constant improvements to the site layout and content. If you’ll notice, we now have a list of 4 RSS feeds on the right hand side of the screen. In addition, we are hard at work on a new design to stick in over the next couple weeks.
Recently, we also switched hosts. GoDaddy was just not working, so I switched us over to a hosting company called Bluehost.com, which so far has been outstanding. Also, I recently made a rather pricey purchase of some new equipment. If all goes according to plan, Episode 2 will be a much higher level of quality than the pilot episode and Episode 1(Which should be out on Friday).
This is a learning experience for us, so we ask for your continued support while we get everything figured out and working. Please ecuse any broken links. Remember, the easiest way to make sure you catch our show is to subscribe to one of our convenient RSS feeds. There is one for everybody!
P.S. We now have two host addresses.
www.geekintertainment.com and
www.geekshow.us

I am actually rather embarrased to see all these page hits coming in. We haven’t had a chance to clean the place up with all the problems we have been having lately. In reference to Freak_Zombie’s post, we have literally been unable to make changes to the site for the past day and a half. Movable Type was throwing a fit. Then it just started working again. GoDaddy support is the one shining star of the whole situation, and if they are responsible for the fix, I do want to thank them for that. Wednesday, if everything goes as planned, we will be recording episode 1 of GeekiNtertainment. I really hesitate to consider the pilot episode part of the official broadcast, since it was so raw. Part of the learning experience to say the least. I was actually hesitant to even put it up for download. But I figured we needed something to put the word out there. Hopefully each episode will be leagues above the previous one. Look for overall improvements this week, and hopefully by the following week we will have sme equipment improvements.

After much hair-pulling and frustration, the site is now up. Don’t use GoDaddy and MovableType together, learn from my mistakes.
