*Important New Message*
Yo what up y'all?!?! Year 2-0-0-0 is all but ended and this page has sat broken for almost a full year, as I've been collecting photos scanning, and editing like mad (thank God for my local library, their magazine section and resale have kept me busy and my new scanner is amazingly better than th last piece of junk). Now, all that remains is to upload everything (which is about 1/10th done) and move in to our new (and hopefully permanent) home, "LGOBM @ FortuneCity" located here ==>> http://members.fortunecity.com/lgobm Uploading is the hardest part of this project, being as I only have a limited time to do it, and contrary to popular belief, I do have a life to lead. My goal was originally to have the new page done by Jan. 1, 2001 and I'm still aiming for that goal, as I think we can have most of the main site up by that date. So, why the move and why the name change? Well, the answers to that our pretty simple, first reason being that we had nothing but trouble at this site, no offense to Geocities, I think they are fantastic, but they keep shutting down and deleting my pages, locking me out of the account, etc. Just too many problems. So we're going to FortuneCity, as of yet, problem free. There we will have alot more space too, which enables me more creative space. To make the page I want to make, it's going to take time, effort, and lots and lots of help. We need suggestions, photos, graphic, and, most of all, we need nominees for our Jan '01 "Hunk of the Month" and "Hot Newcomer." If you click on those links there are feedback forms with some suggestions already to chose from and a space to write in a suggestion of your own if you'd like to nominate someone. I have an "Explain the Options" page, but since we're going through so many changes, I think it's better to have a shorter version right here on the front page for now. You can enter the galleries two different ways, by selecting either "Enhanced List" or "Text Only." The difference here is that the "Enhanced List" is broken down alphabetically into groups of two or three, and it's sorted by last name. Once you click the letter group you want to go to, the banners from each gallery (with the guy's name and two thumbnail photos from his page) come up. This way you can just browse through and get a sneak peak at everyone, and maybe you'll find someone new you've never heard of. I hope so! {:o) However this method takes considerably longer and is a bit of a pain when you're in a hurry (don't know if my site if the place for people in such a hurry, since the quality of the images takes a little while to load) or if you have a slower modem, you may just want to take the "Text Only" list. From there, it's all point and click through the images, you know how it goes, click on the thumbnail (they don't always show the whole picture), view the image, if you'd like you can use the right mouse button to save or print, then click the back button on your browser. That's simple enough, right? Okay, now for the other options. "What's New" is a list of site news, status reports on broken/fixed links, and a list of who's been added to site and who's been requested. "Updates" are a list of all the new photos we added to existing galleries. "Hot Newcomer" is our monthly award to an up-and-comer who has either had a little success or isn't yet a household name, we take suggestions and a new winner is announced the first of every month. You can also see a log of who's won in the past. "Hunk of the Month" goes to an already established star who has had a particularly good month. The rules on this award are alot looser, you can vote for anyone on the site as long as they haven't won in the past year. Like the newcomer award, you can get to an archive of past winners by following the link. Again, winners are announced the first of each month, and a graphic will appear beside the name and banner of this month's winners. "Rate the Guys" is a section where you can vote on any of the men on the site. You can rate them by overall looks and also rate what you like best about them. In "Vote on Best Pics," you can vote for your favorite picture of a certain guy, but to do this you must know the name, the gallery number, and the photo number (or at least provide us with an accurate description so we know which picture you're talking about). Suggestions here will be included in a special "Surfer's Choice" gallery to be compiled and posted in the coming months. You can chose as many as you like, but remember, only one pic per guy (like you can vote for Brad Pitt, Gallery #1, Pic #3 but you can't vote for any more of him. You could still vote for Tom Cruise, Gallery #2, Pic #7, etc. You get the point, right?) "Cool Links" are a list of links that deal with the guys on the site, either info, pics, bios, whatever. They are outside links to other great sites. "Add a Link" is where you...duh...add a link. Remember, it should pertain to the guys on the site. "Submit a Guy" is where you go to offer us your suggestions. Tell us who we need to add! We'd love to know what you think, but it's important to keep in mind that this is a "celebrity" gallery, so you can't nominate your neighbor, boyfriend, etc (unless they're
