"He makes things happen when he's in there. He's a great defensive player (and) he's willing to do a lot of the dirty work not everyone is willing to do." See how he answered the questions.

All the new features on the OCC Sports Blog

By Tony Lee On Thursday, March 19, 2009
In an effort to make the OCC Sports Blog one of the best out of all the community colleges, I have made significant changes on the layout.

But since the blog's makeover is so dramatic, I believe I need to explain all the new features.

The biggest change in the blog is the streaming news feed.

The latest news, the most prominent articles or something I believe should be highlighted will be featured here (pictured above) and a new story will stream across every nine seconds. You may press "Pause" to stop it from changing to another news feed and/or click on the article's headline to go to that specific story.

Also, right above the streaming news feed, there is the OCC Sports Blog's menu.

In the menu, there are five choices. When you drag your mouse cursor over to the menu, a drop down mini-menu will appear. You may click on them to redirect you to that link.

The first is the OCC Sports Blog Tour. You may have stumbled upon this post because you clicked on this choice. This tour is a page to answer any questions one may have about the blog's functions.

The second choice is the Blog's Standing Features. A standing feature in a newspaper is something that is printed in every issue.

For this blog, I decided to keep Breaking the Curse (a continuing story about my superstitious sports nature), PirateTXT (when athletes and I text message each other), Q & A (interviews with players and coaches) and my column "It's Me, Tony Lee" easily searchable for everyone.

The thrid choice is the counterparts to the blog. In addition to this web page, the blog often uses Twitter, YouTube and Picasa to highlight Coast athletics program and everyone involved in it. If you click on one of these links, a new window or tab will appear.

Twitter updates (pictured left) are also available on the blog and is located below the scrolling news feeds. However, there are still some bugs on this feature and sometimes the Twitter Updates will be blank. If that's the case, then please just reload or refresh the page.

The other two choices will also redirect you to a different website in a new window. These are the links OCC Sports Blog supports and highly recommend.

Finally, I moved the column to the right side and added an about me page and a search bar.

The search bar will search for anything inside the OCC Sports Blog.

The about me is a mini biography about me and why I am qualified for this job. Click on the picture to read a more detailed profile.

The old features such as the counter, blog archive and labels are still available.

Once again, there are still many bugs in the layout and I'll get them fixed before the 2009 fall semester begins at the end of August.

Hope you like the changes.
