Today my baby turns ONE! YAY!!

To celebrate, and to thank you all for your love, support, and encouragement all year, I have redesigned the site and added some features that I think you’ll enjoy. I hope you like it.

1. The most obvious change is, of course, the new layout. I found one at WordPress.com that allows me to rearrange my sidebars at will, and it gives me more areas for widgets, including four footer sections, where I have moved all the boring crap like searching, archives, disclaimers, and such. And if I get tired of the dark background, I can switch to a light one anytime. It’s a good theme if you like to tinker.

2. New feature: JETTHEAD CALENDAR. In my new sidebar area, I have included a feed to my Google calendar, in which I have started to add all kinds of Jetthead-related dates, like upcoming concerts, birthdays, anniversaries, and anything else important to my OCD mind Jettheads. It will only show current and future dates. Click on any calendar entry to view more information about it.

3. The Runaways Concert Archive has been updated (finally!) with dates from 1976-1978, courtesy of our good buddy Mikey (@jettrocker). I will update The Blackhearts’ concert archive with more dates soon. I need to redesign the navigation first. It sucks.

4. I have updated all of my static pages — About, Glossary, and Concert Archive — with their own custom header graphics, added some new pictures, and changed the layouts to full-width without sidebars.

This year has been phenomenal, because of you. Running this site is a lot of work, but I am having a lot of fun!

I will have more anniversary goodies for you throughout the week.
