New Publishing Tool
For you this means just a few things. You won’t see huge changes in the site except for errors. If you do see errors, please visit our new Contact Form and let us know about it so we can fix it. The changes that you will see are that you’ll know be able to sign up as a member of the site which will eliminate the need for you to type in your information everytime you want to comment. You’ll just type the comment and hit submit and life will be peachy. If you have previously written a post on the dynamicduo (off the top of my head that’d be Medium-sized John, UltraMom, UltraGirl, UltraJessica, UltraFran, UltraJean, and yours-truly) you already have an account. write me to find out the login information or wait a little while and I’ll send it to you.
Other changes include the fact that the site now will support Japanese characters (ほら、日本語は問題ないでしょう！); you’ll be able to get notifications of replies to your comments, and in the future other content will begin making it’s way onto the site. For those of you who have been following the UltraCast (a new episode is currently in production, I promise) it will be moving onto this site, and it is likely a Linc-centric photo gallery will also show up here.
At any rate, I am publishing this update while everything is still half-baked so there are bound to be errors, in fact I know about some of them, but I wanted to get the update in place so I can start working on fixing it in the location it will be in instead of a test location. Oh yeah, also commenting should be blazingly fast compared to how it worked under the old system.

Its this big guy's turn for the spotlight. Just finished chatting with him on Skype and was struck, as always, by his insight and humor. Get well, Baby. Don't let that cold get the best of you. Take some Zicam.
UltraGirl
95.4
This girl has been lately leaving insightful comments on my posts, a move likely to ensure her a good ranking on the Oriko Leaderboard. Thanks, UltraGirl. I too am glad my camera returned from the Center of the Earth. And do give those cranberries another try.

k Has been a little busy, but hopefully that's good news for Akatombo Media. We keep missing each other on Skype, but we'll figure it out one of these days. Thanks for the comments. Someday I may finish writing about the trip!

Am a little disappointed cause I thought I was going to get to see this guy next weekend at Aunt Debi's wedding. Now he's not coming after all, which is probably a wise choice and all, but still drops him a bit in the Leaderboard ratings til I get over it. Give me another day or two. And he DID make me and UltraDad a super-awesome Anniversary Card with a fun guessing game. We're still waiting to hear....who won?

Hasn't been leaving comments, and refuses to share her taco dip recipe, but she did send UltraDad and me an absolutely gorgeous Anniversary card and cash for a dinner out, which we have already made use of. Thanks, Honey.
Polly
88.0
I'm going to leave this kitty up here ahead of the dogs for now. They are still barking at her at every juncture, and as far as I can see, the only thing she does to instigate it is to exist.
Murphy the Wonderdog
87.9
Doesn't bark at Polly as much as his little demon-brother, but does bark at said brother way too much. Murphy, you are the (relatively speaking) "Big Dog". If you want the chewbone Rowdy has, don't bark at him; take it away from him!
Rowdy
75.0
Still too much barking, and a little too much pooping and peeing in the house. Is starting to learn a few tricks, but is not as clever as Murphy in that way.

This Page
All the images being broken on the site right now would be one example of an error that I am currently working on fixing.
Images now fixed. Now to work on the RSS feed and the Archive page.
Incidentally, if you get a pop up window for leaving a comment, don’t be fooled, you’ve fallen through to the old system, and you comment will be lost to the sands of time. Well, actually, for the time being go ahead and leave the comment (maybe with a reminder that you would like your comment not to be lost to the sands of time) and I’ll move it onto the new system for you. Eventually we’ll have it worked out so that you don’t fall through to the old site, but right now, there are still a lot of loose ends.
testing
Okay, I haven’t actually read this yet, but yes, UltraBob, it does look different, and I’m sure will be vastly better when I have time to look it over.
Second comment. How do you like it?
Thanks for the comments Mom! I’m guessing you found the comment form much much faster than before.

This is a test to see if the captchas (little word images to test your humanness) are working now after Jessica kindly pointed out that they weren’t.
