Stats for you all!

Since I have started local BG News the stats have taken off quite nicely. Thought maybe I would share some of what has happened so far…

  • Total visitors to the site – 42566 [average of 7100/month]
  • Total pages viewed – 335,189 [average of 56,000/month]
  • Total posts made [by both me and BGBot] -  8635 [average of 1500 posts per month!]
  • Total twitter followers on @localbgnews – 708
  • Total twitter followers on @lbgnbot – 120

Not all bad if you ask me.

If I am lucky then I will be able to make these go even higher in the coming months!

Changes to the site!

Hey everyone…Remember me? Ya I am still alive. After moving 3 times [to scottsville edmonson county and back to bowling green] I have finally settled down and am getting back into the grove of things. Thats when I noticed that the site here needed some work.

In the past day or so I have done the following

  • Corrected some code errors with the site template
  • Updated BGBot so that he can function more efficiently
  • Changed the weather box because the old one was working when it wanted to
  • Upgraded wordpress to the newest version
  • Made a sandwich :P

Hopefully I will be able to keep up with the site now. If you notice any problems or issues please email them to me

BG Bot still posting away!

So bgbot is still posting away on his part of the site but I have been a bit inactive and I apologize for that.

It is just me here running this whole show and with life getting as busy as it has my plans for the site have gotten a bit behind schedule.

I am still working on the changes but it is taking a bit  longer than I had anticipated.

Be sure to follow @localbgnews on twitter and also follow @lbgnbot on twitter to keep up to date on all the news from around bowling green.

Local guy punks the punk!

You all know the show Punke’d on MTV. Well Ashton Kutcher got himself punked when he posted the wrong url to his new movie on his twitter account. A local guy Trey Copeland quickly picked up on the tweet and registered the domain he tweeted. The domain he registered was www.spreadthemovie.com while the offical page is located at www.spread-themovie.com. He quickly editied the movie trailer and added a special suprise in the middle of it and thus Ashton was punked.

Here is the trailer of the movie with the surprise inside!

Today Trey was on WUHU with Brooke and Greg talking about it and that interview is below

Moral of this story is this. When posting links to twitter make sure you post the correct link.
