The new wrestling news theme is now live and kickin! It’s now easier on the eyes and hopefully easier to use over all. Please let me know if you find any issues and what you think about the new design. I hope to get the entire site converted over eventually, however I’m not sure when that’ll happen just yet.

You’ll also notice the new store is linked to too. It’s got about everything Amazon does as we run our store though them to bring our users a wide variety of items. And not just wrestling gear. You can get a Wii or Sony Playstation 3 & iPod accessories, clothes, food, electronics, almost anything!

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Any users that want to post their own news now can. I didn’t realize that new user’s couldn’t before. Oops.

If you have registered for an account in the past, or if you do in the future, you now can login and write a story and save it. Then, when it’s ready to be published, let me know and I’ll make it live.

You can post on anything related to amateur wrestling, martial arts or boxing. Thoughts, views, opinions, product reviews, poems whatever you want. I’m pretty open.

It never seems to stop amazing me, how one browser can be so popular and so horrible at web standards.

I’ve recently come to find out that Internet Explorer was causing two big issues. One, the right sidebar was displaying after the content and two, it kept alerting some error at line 72. Both have been fixed.

If you are in Internet Explorer, I urge you to check out Opera, Flock or Firefox. All three browsers are better than Internet Explorer because they have better security, more features and they comply with web standards much more than IE. They are all free and can import any of your favorites and settings. Switching takes just a few minutes and the joy of using a better browser lasts a long time!

Derrick Gray is currently living at Sather Air Base, otherwise know as Baghdad International Airport in Iraq. He is in a small Army unit that resides and works there.

The Air Base recently built a new “Gym” to house the weight equipment, and various cardio machines they have recently purchased. In this new facility they left a sizeable area for aerobics, spin classes, ab classes and various martial art/combatives training classes.

They currently have 4 different martial arts classes composed mainly of BJJ and Krav Maga type classes. The problem they have is that the area is only covered by a .25 inch hard rubber mat over concrete and in the purchase plan the failed to leave out floor mat material.

He is wanting to see if anyone has a remnant piece or pieces they would be willing to donate. The area they are trying to cover is 30 ft by 30 ft and they wouldn’t expect any one company/person to donate that much material. However, if they are able to get a few companies/people to donate a little, they could piece together a nice place to practice their skills.

It’s been a while since the last site update.  I apologize for that, however I’ve gotten a sweet new iMac and I’ve been to busy playing with all new features.  Hopefully I’ll get some news up this week though.

Thanks

I’ve upgraded the software that runs the Amateur Wrestling News. I think that it’ll help things run smoother and, possibly, bring more format to the stories. Check back in a few days to find out.

We’ve gone though and updated the URL structure so it looks cleaner and is all around easier to use. I think I got all the old URLs redirected properly too so no bookmarks need to be updated. They should just work.

I did realize that the date archives aren’t working. Not sure why but I’ll have to research that.

Enjoy!
