It’s been a couple of weeks since I contacted all my affiliates. Most changed the link but the rest I just went through and deleted so I don’t have to spend any more time fussing with that. If you just hadn’t gotten a chance to change the link or you still wanna be affiliates, let me know and I’ll add you back to my affiliates. No problem.

We now have a domain so be sure to change all your links to http://edwardherrmann.net!

I’ve contacted all the affiliates. After the hassles I had last time, I’m not going through that again, so I’ll be checking affiliates in a week (maybe two) and if the links aren’t updated, I’m just removing affiliates without further warning. Too stressful having to deal with it every time. If you’re removed by mistake, let me know and I’ll add you back.

I went through and checked my affiliates and some people decided to drop my link for whatever reason, without bothering to mention it. Yet there I am linking back all this time. I sent a few posts to some people asking for name corrections (”Herrmann” with two r’s and two m’s) and others asking why I was no longer being linked, but after a while, I just started removing people that weren’t linking back. So I got rid of quite a few. If you have a reason for removing my link and wanna be put back up, let me know.

Prior to his second Broadway Blessing appearance, Ed was quoted as saying, “It’s reassuring to know there are so many people out there you know that believe in God and want to take that part of their life and dedicate it to the theatre because theatre is a very spiritual endeavor.”

Took over a week but the new layout is finally up. I also converted the Cutenews entries to FanUpdate, had to go through each entry and fix the category and add the icons, but they should all be working, now. Redid the updates buttons, affiliates buttons (Elite and Top) and the current project buttons. I added some new link Buttons, too. I’ll be adding more stuff, eventually.

My mom bought me The Lost Boys: The Tribe, yesterday. I started watching it but haven’t finished, yet.

Almost forgot! Happy 65^th birthday to Ed on the 21^st of July. Hope it was a great one with many more to follow!

Take a moment to cruise over and welcome our newest elite affiliate: Ultimately Gilmore!

I just added a new In-Person photo to the Fan Stuff album, thanks to Adscrub. It features him with Ed during the filming of the new TV movie “Hatching Pete” in Payson, Utah, 2008.

Also added a new (143×96) Button.
