As a modern and progressive blog, at this point I really had no choice but to get an associated Twitter account.
Now, the main drawback to this is that I have nothing to post. Yet, a quick examination of this monstrosity of a medium reveals that 98% of Twitter users are in the same boat. This doesn't stop them from posting so why should it stop me? We're talking about a service which includes, among other things, a Fake Charlie Morton site. And a Fake Andy LaRoche. You should be legitimately scared.
A link to the Twitter site, www.twitter.com/pirateswfc, is now on the right sidebar.

We're A Real .com
I invested $9.50 into a domain name so typing pirateswfc.com or www.pirateswfc.com will now take you to this very page. I wish this was 1999 and I could issue an IPO based on having a web site and no product and make lots of money while also harboring a reasonable hope of a second New Radicals album being released one day.
The blogspot address will still work. At some point I might move to a real host which would remove the blogspot title bar, but this thing is becoming a real money pit with $24.50 invested already this year. If that happens though, I will set the blogger address to redirect so both addresses should always work.

Revamped WFC Blog Looks Toward 2011
Chalking up 2010 as a lost cause despite my formerly high hopes, Pirates WFC Blog staff has decided at the trade deadline to focus anew on the 2011 championship.
To that end, I made the sweet new banner which now graces the top of the page and incorporated it into this professional looking minimalist template which I customized to be appropriate for a small market team's needs.
This endeavor contributed to an incredibly scintillating phone conversation with future bride Janet Thursday evening...
Her: "What are you doing tonight?"
Me: "Trying to get a blog header to display in the center of the home page."
CUT TO
Her (20 minutes later): "What are you thinking about?"
Me: "How to get a blog header to display in the center of a home page."
I also bought the domain name pirateswfc.com which should be set up to link to this page soon. I think the old blogspot address will continue to work; I haven't figured that out so don't change your bookmarks yet.
Finally I am working on retrospectives on the five previous WFC teams so that this can truly be a comprehensive WFC Blog. For now those links on the left sidebar just link to the Baseball Reference pages for each team. More changes should be coming as well as I try to transition this site into a "real site."
