We have moved! Move with us!
Funny. I’m currently selling my home and moving into another one.
Effectively, that’s what we’re doing here, too. My new Radio & TV Talk home is now at
http://www.accessatlanta.com/weblogs/radio-tv-talk/
Please move to that URL. All my old entries going back to March, 2009 on this current platform (Wordpress) shall remain for now.
The biggest difference (besides the look) is the fact you now have to register to comment. The good news there is hopefully the trolls will go away.
To begin, click the registration link at the top of the COMMENTS section. Once you are registered, you can comment as many times as you like on any of our stories or blogs, as long as you follow our guidelines for commenting.
It’s a relatively new piece of software so there are many issues that hopefully will be dealt with. Please email me at rho@ajc.com if you have any suggestions on how we can make it more user friendly. The hope is that this new software will be more compatible with mobile devices, which is where more and more folks are reading this blog anyway.
I’ve been blogging since 2004. This is my fourth blog software platform. Change is constant!
Join my Facebook fan page and Twitter. Oh, and Google +, too!

Good luck with the move to the new house, Packing up the old place isn’t so bad, it’s all the unpacking at the new place that can be a real pain!

Boooo!
The trolls never go away, they just adapt.
Good luck with the real move.
Uh, the sports bloggers...

…(Mark Bradley, Schultz, etc) started with the “comment registration” stuff last week – and today, their whole system is down as far as logging in to COMMENT AFTER registering last week and commenting everyday this week…what’s up with that?
Progress – ain’t it great?

Too bad.
The trolls are what keep things interesting in my view. When it’s all lovey-dovey it gets old real fast.

****Po’Diddly**** Yep, “Trolls” make the world go round. Think how boring it would be without them. The AJC is like my life(or I75), it’s always under construction, with many detours!

Hey Rodney, the new site has lost the comment box and all the comments. Guess we’ll be on the old site tonight.

This new format goes hand in hand with my new screen name. So far, it’s a “train wreck” !!!!!!

Rod goodbye and good luck with the new troll-free software. I have really enjoyed your blog. I’m no troll but I don’t “register” so I won’t be joining you on the new sanitized platform.

May have been smarter to not move on a day AI is scheduled.
Dierdre, nice to know I’m not the only one w/o a comment box on the new site.
Deirdre

Comments are shut down on the new site, they’ve been that way since this afternoon. Not sure Rodney knows.
So, let’s all meet here for the show tonight. There’s plenty of room on this thread.

Rodney didn’t have a choice unfortunately. And this blog is acting weird, as you can see.

I hope so too. Last night was colossal disappointment (for me, that is).
First contestant sounds good! Nice start.

Let’s count how many times the word “awesome” will be used tonight.
Ok, Minaj just lied.

Rodney set up a thread on the new site but the comments are closed. I sent him an email

Waaaay over doing it if you ask me

She would look better without the nose ring…….ugh

OMG, Minaj pulled out a mirror. So tacky.

I like Kiara not sure on the spelling but she was good. Didn’t care for the nose ring though.
Pitchy

What “magnetic” things have she seen today. She’s the 3rd performer. That girl is a trip, a hot mess, she’s going to trip over her own wigs!!!
Nana

3 yeses, sorry Nicki you are so over ruled.
Deirdre

The pretty blonde girl should escape while she can
Pitchy

Did this trick just say she said no because they’re wearing the same eye color.
Deirdre

They don’t edit this in order, Pitchy..she may have already seen 20 people that we didn’t see.
Nana

OMG!!!! All that pink has to go. How tacky!!!!!!!!

Nicki is seriously annoying me
Deirdre

Oops, I apologize, shouldn’t have said “trick.”

I know they have to get in the commericals, but come on, AFTER each audition??????
Pitchy

Ok, good point, Deirdre.
Nana

After tonight’s show, I will try to register at the new site.
Deirdre
January 17th, 2013
8:27 pm
Pitchy, I think Nicki is trying to be deliberately irritating. Doesn’t she realize there will be plenty of opportunity to eliminate everyone who doesn’t live up to their possibilities?
Nana

He hurts my throat!
Pitchy

Gotta love the rocker!!!!!!
Pitchy

Deirdre, she may not care. No fear, she won’t be back after this season.

I also think Minaj is going to bring the worse out of Randy.

Was the back of his jeans torn?
