Introducing... RamView?

Or to put it more accurately, where the hell has RamView been? You know you have the worst Rams blog of all time when you just let it die in the middle of a football season. And Ramview.com is close to the worst web site on the planet. (Thank goodness for healthcare.gov.)

2013 has been highly busy for me at work, (for which I can also "thank" healthcare "reform") which is great for me, but not good at all for the blog. And my company, as is its right, locked down its networks, killing my ability to blog at lunchtime. I never figured out a way to make up that time. The RamView recap itself takes me longer than ever to do every week, which didn't help me any. By the time I'd get one recap done, it was time to start working on the preview for the next recap. I hope my thoroughness (a/k/a slowness) there has made up for my shortcomings here.

So, all excuses aside, I'm "relaunching" the blog today. I have a few projects in the works for the coming days:

* Rams' 2013 player grades by position
* Rams' 2013 penalty log
* A mega ex-Rams update to make up for everything I missed this season

I'll also pick back up some of the traditional offseason activities of the blog, with "live" blogs of next weekend's playoff games and coverage of whatever college all-star games and practices I can find on TV.

Ramview.com itself is up-to-date for the first time since October (!). All of this year's recaps are up there. It's not very pretty at the moment, but beautification efforts are in progress.

Today also marks the kickoff of RamView's Twitter feed (@RamView1). Yes, I know, I can't keep a blog or a website up-to-date, so add something else, makes sense. It'll be used to post blog updates, website updates and one-line stuff it makes little sense to put here.


A lot of this is going to be done late at night, which may be reflected in its quality, so with that warning out there, let's see how this goes one more time.
