Attempt at new blog venture

So, seeing that my friend Brett is doing so well with his “other” (non-personal) blog, The Cranking Widgets Blog (a Getting Things Done/productivity-centric blog), I thought I’d try one out as well and see how I fared. Much like he’s filling a niche that he saw, I’m going to try and do the same.

Oddly enough up until about 8 or 9 years ago I was really not much of a sports fan at all, yet here I am introducing Bayou City Sports Blog (BCSB), a blog I’m going to maintain which will report on news items regarding Houston-area sports and also have opinion pieces strewn about. Really right now I haven’t seen anything that fits that niche. There are some of the Chronicle columnists’ blogs, but those are pretty poorly structured and often only focused on one or two teams.

For now the layout is only so-so, as I just threw a theme on WordPress that seemed halfway-decent and made some very minor tweaks. I’ll work on making a logo and fixing up the layout a bit more, though mainly I’m going to focus on getting a good stream of content going and getting the word out. So, tell any Houston sports nut fans you know about it, and if they want to help write for it, have them drop me a line (there’s an email address on the “About” page on the site).

    I just want to say: God bless the Houston Astros, and most especially Brad Ausmus, the gorgeous, brainiac pitcher. Ah. I love him. Good for you starting a new blog! I attempted to host I (Heart) Houston, but it turned out I didn’t truly have the heart. My Astros love excepted, I’m not much of a sports fan, but I will read it and comment enthusiastically. Good luck!
