THE "BLUE CORNER" PENDING A REMODELING
As a result of reader feedback, there are going to be a few changes to the "Blue Corner Blog" during this month.
The first change is that I am removing the French translation. There are two reasons for this. One is that very few people cared nor even read the French part of the blog. Also, with the introduction of "The Red Corner", coming later in the month, it is a lot of work to type two blogs in two languages.
Therefore, going forward, this blog will be in English only.
Another big change is that I want to return "Comments From the Blue Corner" back to its roots of discussing my training and challenges as a 40+ boxer trying to return to the ring.
Lately, it has become cluttered with other stuff that is boxing related, but not related to my training.
However, these other posts have been very popular in helping to boot readers to the "Blue Corner", which is a good thing.
I will now be posting other boxing-related items in a new spin-off blog, "The Red Corner".
INTRODUCING "THE RED CORNER"
This new blog will feature news from the Toronto boxing scene. Featuring results, news, upcoming shows, interviews with the athletes and coaches, and reviews about Toronto boxing gyms.
The two blogs will be linked, so you can select the "Walk to..." link at the top right of each, to switch between blogs.
MOVING BOXING VIDEOS TO A NEW HOST SERVER
Due to reliability issues with YouTube, more specifically, their blatant disrespect for my work, boxing videos will now be hosted on Metacafe. Since Metacafe uses a user preview and authorization before the video is hosted on the server, "take-down" policies do not exist since videos have to be approved before posting.
The only problem with Metacafe is that right now there is a 2 GB file limit, which cuts it close when uploading a High-Def video. Therefore, some matches may have to be edited to fit the file size limit.
Videos that are being removed by YouTube, have already been moved to the new server, and will be accessible through the Red Corner "Archives" tab.
