ECBACC: Black Comic Book Convention

The 8th annual ECBACC (East Coast Black Age of Comics Convention) in Philadelphia is coming up soon.  They emailed me about the convention so I thought I’d pass the information along.  The flyer below has all the details.  Click the flyer to go to the website.  More details about the convention appear after the break.  I have never gone, but I plan on going as soon as schedule (and budget) permit.

One Year of the Blackgeekdom Blog

Yesterday marked the anniversary of the first post of the Blackgeekdom Blog. This was something that I started just as something to do for fun and as a new hobby. It grew out of my desire to build my own website featuring an online magazine about African-Americans in sci-fi. Unfortunately, posting to the blog is a lot easier than maintaining a webpage. I would promise to do more features on the main site, but I’ll probably just focus on improving the blog and working on getting more people involved in being a part of this. The next couple of weeks will probably filled with some new experimental features and changes you might see. We’ll also try to refocus on what we are doing and bring back some popular features like the Scramble Board. Through all the down time, server crashes, service interruptions, we’re still here. Thanks to Brandon, Michele, and Hanako for all the help. And to people like Jarrell and Beezy for their participation in discussions and comments. Here are the top five posts (according to Google Analytics) for the past twelve months:

1. Common as Green Lantern

2. Cloverfield Spoilers

3. New Knight Rider Pictures

4. Top 10 Sci-Fi Shows Canceled Too Soon

5. Skaar: Son of Hulk

Top 10 Sci-Fi Shows Canceled Too Soon and Skaar: Son of Hulk are the posts that actually get the most real traffic based on the Google Search results.

New Design

The BlackGeekdom Blog is going through a few changes over the next few days as we experiment with new layouts and formats. Also, a new logo is in the works. Any ides or input is more than welcome.

We have also updated to WordPress 2.3 which has added tagging and some new options in writing posts and comments. It also gives us an opportunity to try out widgets as well.

Hope you like it.
