Bobby Gameday humbly gives himself back to Fentonia

1:32 am - New address. New look. Same heart. I'm not going to waste your time, because you've heard it before. But this time, it's for real. Fentonia is back, and it's time to get your happy little ass back in here, too.

Back when I first started this up, using a Yahoo! Geocities template, blogs were not as common as they are these days. It is no longer rare, unique, or catchy to have one. But if you know me, and you know this site, you know the point never has been to be catchy. And in contrast to most of the people with a blog, the purpose of Fentonia is not to "grow an audience" or "get noticed" or to "become culturally relevant" or any bullshit like that. This website exists and has always existed for one reason only, and that is to serve as a central meeting point for all of my friends, family, pets, and acquaintances...that is to say - Fentonians. I don't care about anything else.

With that in mind, you'll notice that while the physical look of the site is a bit sleeker and easier to read, the basis of the site is unchanged. The signature feature, and my favorite part of this website, is the Fentonian Meeting House Bulletin Board, and the link to it is right here as always. We are approaching our 500th post, and eventually 1000th post. Between the resurgence of Fentonia and college football season's imminent kickoff, we look to hit those milestones soon.

In short, Fentonia is back. I'll update it as it happens. Somtimes several posts in a few days, sometimes only once a week. Get used to making it a part of your day.
