Sunday, September 30, 2001

In all the commotion the other day, I am tempted to make the grand re-opening of this site on December 1st instead of what's listed above. If I don't get it finished by November, I'll change it. Until then!

Saturday, September 29, 2001

Yesterday wasn' t a good day for me. Yes, we got a computer virus and lost everything... Fortunately I saved all of my new redesign work two days before! Thank God! I would have been really devastated. I can't work on the site as planned this weekend because my brother is working on the computer. = ( Wonderworld opens in two days!!!

Friday, September 28, 2001

Weekend is here! That means I can cram in as much work on the redesign as possible! If you haven't seen it already, check out the new "TriviaServe" which opened yesterday on this site and a few others. If you have a great AIO site, this will make your site better!

 

Thursday, September 27, 2001

If you haven't noticed, today marks the day that TriviaServe opens up! What is it you ask? Well, it's a daily trivia question, hosted by Jared Walczak, but all AIO sites can have this feature! Keep checking back to this site everyday for the new question! Other than that, things continue. October 1st is when Wonderworld opens!

Wednesday, September 26, 2001

Well, this is the actual first free-day I have had since Sunday. I am going to finish up the new links page and possibly continue on the actors info. It takes a long time! Check out yesterday's post for info on my interview with Torry Martin! Also as of today this site has had 2000 visitors! Look below!

Tuesday, September 25, 2001

Hey all! I just got an e-mail from Torry Martin, the new writer from AIO, and he wants to do an interview! Be keeping that in mind this November when the redesign of this site hits the web! you can see Torry's site here.  Also keep in mind that Wonderworld opens in a few days.

Monday, September 24, 2001

I haven't been able to work on the new design of this site (due this November) at all today because I have been really busy. I am currently compiling all the actors' pictures and, judging by how long it took me to write about seven of them, it will take some time. Don't forget that Wonderworld opens on October first!

 

Sunday, September 23, 2001

I did some major work for my new site yesterday. I have a chunk of the merchandise section finished and a huge actors page in progress. Unlike my current Actors page, this one will be ten times better! Today I am releasing news about Adventures in Odyssey on DVD! Look to the left! I have a ton of homework on my site to do, and I'll keep you posted...

 

Saturday, September 22, 2001

Hope you all liked "Red Herring" which airs today on the radio! That one's one of my favorites last season. Today I have a lot of work to do. Now that I have been given advice by both Chris Wise (www.chexquest.cjb.net) and Joshua Shelly (www.aioweb.com), I can now upload pictures and get my site up soon. Unfortunately you won't be able to see it yet. Sorry. Be sure to make your voice heard over in Forums! Above is the new AIO album that I found on Tommy Nelson's website! It looks as if they are in the library of the new Whit's End in Connellsville and also looks like Eugene is in the background!

 

Friday, September 21, 2001

Great news! Chris, an AIO fan, just emailed me with advice on how to publish the new design of my site. If I haven't made clear already, I am using Frontpage and was having problems. Thanks to Chris, I can now continue with the design as planned. Thanks Chris! If you would like to know more about Chris you can read his interview on this site. Look above for the weekly schedule...

 

Thursday, September 20, 2001

Weekend is almost here for all of us. And that's when I'll be doing some rushing around for my website. I am having some difficulty uploading pictures to the new site, so we'll have to wait and see. I can't wait!

 

Wednesday, September 19, 2001

Just in case you didn't know from yesterday, I have just released when this site will make its grand-opening. Mark your calendars for November 10th! I thought that day would be appropriate because November 10th also marks the day of the new Fall Season of Adventures in Odyssey! This site is undergoing a major design change. The biggest change you'll see is that there won't be any frames anymore. I will let everyone know the day the site opens.

 

Tuesday, September 18, 2001

Sorry I didn't really update yesterday, but I have a good excuse. You see, Geocities wasn't really working well. = ) I have set a date for the redesigned Odyssey Scoop. Mark your calendars for November 10th! More will be presented later.

 

Sunday, September 16, 2001

Well, we were all informed that Blackgaard's Castle would be open yesterday, so where is it? Maybe Dr. Blackgaard has been having some uploading problems. Or He forgot? Just keep checking back to www.AioBc.com to see if it is up yet. I sure hope he didn't forget! Other than being disappointed about the new AIO site not being there yet, I have no other AIO news. Still working on the site, but I am still pondering over whether or not I should make a black background or white. What do you guys think? Email me at jacob@odysseyscoop.com

 

Saturday, September 15, 2001

Today is the day! As said above, check out www.aiobc.com for the grand opening of Blackgaard's Castle! Some other news: AIO HQ has changed the links page. Check it out! Also there are other things there too. I am working on the redesign of this site today. If you don't know already, you can also view this site through www.odysseyscoop.cjb.net. As of yesterday, at least... Don't forget to see Blackgaard's Castle!

 

Friday, September 14, 2001

In regards to the new design of this site, I will be taking longer than I thought. I hope to release it before the new year, so BE PATIENT. Remember that Blackgaard's Castle opens up tomorrow! If you want I can send you a sneak preview of the site. Just email me.

 

Thursday, September 13, 2001

Today there isn't much AIO news, except to say that if you click here, you can read a letter that an AIO fan's mother wrote into FOTF. It's a nice inspiring letter that everyone needs to see. You can also donate to Focus on the Family from there. Keep in mind that Blackgaard's Castle opens this Saturday, the 15th! Also Wonderworld opens October 1st!

 

Wednesday, September 12, 2001

Still no new AIO news or updates, but the official site will be opening up Wonderworld on October 1st! Chances are, it will be many fans' favorite section. Other than that, just keep our naton in your prayers, your thoughts, and pray for those who lost their lives. Also this is a good time for a witnessing opportunity. George W. Bush really needs God's guidance.

Tuesday, September 11, 2001

Today is a sad and terrible day for us all. As many of us know, the Pentagon and World Trade Center were attacked today. Be in prayer for our nation, the many broken up and discouraged families, and also pray for God's will to be done for the next few days, weeks... maybe even years. Just keep in mind that God has a purpose in all this. No new AIO news for today.

Monday, September 10, 2001

Today I just added some information about myself on this page (see bottom). Also I deleted some things from the disclaimer. They seem to be a little annoying now. I'm still a working on my new "Odyssey Scoop" remake, so it should be a while before you can see it. But I have news. You know that virtual tour of Whit's End I so long ago mentioned? Well... drum roll... it may end up on Odyssey Encyclopedia! Stay tuned for more details... My screenname and email addresses are below if you'd like to contact me.

Sunday, September 9, 2001

Today I posted a message about Nathan Hoobler's Extra Extra. Check it out!

Saturday, September 8, 2001

Hi all! I just added a link at the right to Whit's Safe. If you have never seen it check it out! Also I just added a brand new article written by Nathan Hoobler! Check it out! That concludes the updates for a while until I finish my new site. Unless someone writes an Extra Extra of course, and I am expecting another one...

Friday, September 7, 2001

Hi everybody. Just got back from a boring football game. For an update, I will mention that I am getting pretty far into the new design for the Odyssey Scoop. Right now I am transferring my Extra Extra section (it takes longer than I thought) to the new program. For a preview, the navigation bar will no longer appear on the left side of your screen. Instead you'll see it at the top of each page in the site. If you haven't already, check out the new AIO pics below and email me on what you think! Tune in for AIO tomorrow because "The Triangle" part two is on! Also don't miss episode 2, season 2 of "Down Gilead Lane!"

Thursday, September 6, 2001

As promised yesterday, below if you look to the left are two new pics I scanned in today of Katrina, Eugene, and Jason. Also one that's been a here a little while is the one in the upper left corner of the page. Also in the know about this website... I am in the long and boring process of redesigning my website (I recently acquired a nicer program) and it will look better that it's ever looked before! It'll probably be a while though. Ever heard of Microsoft Frontpage? Be sure to check in when I post an Extra Extra that Nathan Hoobler is writing exclusively for the Odyssey Scoop!

Wednesday, September 5, 2001

Hey there! Just yesterday I heard about a new radio program (by an AIO fan) that we can hear on his site! It's called AIORadio, and the first show airs on October 6th on his website! Click here for more details. They will be talking about AIO, new stuff, topics, etc. E-mail him your questions for him to answer on his show to AIORadio@AioWeb.com. If any of you would like to write an Extra Extra, the offer remains to stand. You can write it on this website, or if you don't want to do that, email it to jacob@odysseyscoop.com. Tomorrow I will be posting some season giveaways. Refer to the upper left-hand corner of this page for a clue on one already. And if you haven't seen Travis Tedford's entry in my guestbook, check it out soon! I decided to remove the trivia section that was below because I really don't have the answers on this site. I had planned on posting the answers monthly, but no one would care by then!

Tuesday, September 4, 2001

I have some good news about The Odyssey Encyclopedia! OdysseyFan and I can now begin the birth stage of the new site, but it may be a while until it's totally information-filled. I'll keep you all posted. You can visit the new site here.  Also yesterday, Travis Tedford (the kid who plays Alex Jefferson on AIO) signed my guestbook! Yay! If you'd like to see what he had to say click here to read it. We email a lot, that's why he knows about my site and he thinks it's the best. Thanks Travis! Also if you haven't already done so, sign my guestbook! I am thinking about archiving current posts there so that people can see the newer ones more easily. I hate how Geocities makes it so when you view the guestbook, you have to see all older messages first, and the new ones are on the tail end. School's going pretty good, I'm getting the swing of things, and should be ready to do some more frequent updates soon. I don't have as much time like I used to in the summer months. If you haven't seen Saturday's big updates, just read below for September 1st's info.

Monday, September 3, 2001

Today I don't have school (Labor Day) so I am going to pump out a couple of reviews. You won't see them until my next big update though. People have been commenting on how I stopped writing reviews for a while. Well to all of you who wrote to me... I'm writing them again! I received from a reliable source a newspaper cover that I may replace as a new one for my Extra Extra section. I won't use the exact copy he sent to me, but I will change some things about it. Below the "Danger Signals" coverart below is the new AIO calendar if you want to see it. Also down at the right I've added a new link to Joshua Shelly's new AIO site. I feel sorry for him because not many people visit his site. Also because I was in his shoes once when I began my website in December 2000. So please visit his website. It's going to be better soon though. Either visit below or just type in http://www.aioweb.com.

Sunday, September 2, 2001

Well, I hope you all enjoyed my first update for the month! If you got my newsletter and are just now visiting to see all the updates, just read yesterday's update and get the scoop. Right now I am thinking about my next update. I know Nathan Hoobler will be writing the next Extra Extra (I gave a hint on what it is last month), but I need to figure out what to do for other sections of the site. If you have any ideas for new sections, go to Forums and fill it out. Every person's idea I will give credit to when that section opens up! I am also thinking about concentrating strictly on mostly reviews for the next update too. But does anyone object to the fact that I may be re-arranging the Actors section and linking to pictures of those people with information on those people? I'm not sure yet whether or not I'll do it. I wrote about two reviews last night, and Corey Willis just took my interview, so that'll be included in the update as well!

Saturday, September 1, 2001

Hi everyone! I just archived August 2001's updates, so if you want to see them click here. Today I have added a huge update! I have two new interviews: one with Shadowpaw, the guy who runs the Soda Fountain (he explains in detail why he shut it down) and an interview with The Top Crusader. Also check out my new Extra Extra: Snow Day Puts Fans in Tizzy. Also check out Schedule for September's airing list, and check out the new forum (this time if I use your idea, you'll get credit for part of this site!). Also it's kinda strange but I have added 19 more pictures of the actors! I think that's about it. Oh yeah... it's been so long since I started my website, and now I'm ready to reveal to all what I look like. Check out the improved About the Webmaster for a photo gallery of me, and my family of course! Expect to see the next Extra Extra that is available written by Nathan Hoobler! Enjoy the site! Below is a trivia section that's new too!
