ALERT: There's something happening here. Rock Town Hall is growin' up. They said sit down and we stood up.

Welcome to RTH v.3: StickyRhino. The ever-changing world in which we live in. (StickyRhino is best viewed at a screen resolution of 1280 or higher.)

You won't have to look too hard to orient yourself. The Rhino is a direct budding from DirtWeed and should in fact put to rest the long and hard fought flame wars of the AARP skin.

The gates of steel are being crashed Towsfolk. Hourly, by the throngs, rabid fans hell bent on devouring our unique brand of pablum are arriving. We are stardust. We are golden. We are half a million strong.* We can no longer fly under the radar. This is a call to action, fellow Townsfolk.

How you gonna come? With your hands on your head?

Command Performance!
REMINDER: Occasionally Townspeople experience login problems that initially hit other Townspeople when we first upgraded the site. Following is a repeat of some tips we posted back then. If you missed it - or it didn't apply - the first time around, this repeat may be better than anything you've TiVoed in recent weeks. If you think you know it all and don't need to read this, perhaps you're wrong. Enjoy!

I have a workaround for the AARP crowd. It requires you to have blogger privileges and all I have to do is load a custom style sheet into your media folder. The result will turn the green into white and the orange into black. I know that al and mrclean have media folders. There is a media folder for "mdw1322". Is that yours mwall? Or is that yours from a previous login? I don't see one for tvox.

Soooo. Let me know who wants the change and if you have a media folder already I can do it right away. If you don't, we can set you up with one.

Consider this post a sign-up thread and the place to comment on if its working or not.

Thank you for your attention.

As reported in today's All-Star Jam.

We have added a new "skin" to Rock Town Hall. Those of you having dfficulty reading the current "Dirt Weed" skin can give the new "AARP-Approved" skin a try. If you choose it while you are logged in, supposedly it will be remebered for your account.

See the "Choose skin" category in the sidebar.

Thank you for your attention.

I'm finding, since the front page content doesn't change that often, that the best way to keep in touch with the day's comments is to hit the Last comments link on the sidebar. This may be the best way for people from the old list to get into the flow and keep content and discussion fresh.

I say:
Townsman, we thank you for this helpful tip.

We've set up a pretty standard blog format. If you're familiar with blogs you'll probably have no problem intuitively making your way about. If not, here's the lowdown.

The Comments section at Rock Town Hall allows for a degree of formatting through use of specific XHTML tags, or codes. If you know a little about HTML, this will be a breeze. if you know less than that, hang on.

Rock Town Hall is open to The People. Anyone, anywhere, anytime to can visit and peruse The Hall. However, in order to comment (which we strongly encourage) you must register. Why? The answer is pretty much "Spam". Apparently there are "robots" that troll the internet and look for places to deposit their seed. If someone is required to register it is a major deterent to said robots.

Registering is easy. All you need is a valid email address. Fill out the registration form by clicking Register under the Misc section of the sidebar. From there you will enter your login name, password and email address. An email confirmation will be sent to you. Click on the link within and, voila, you will be granted permission to tell us via comments how full of shit we are.

Note: We absolutely will not give/sell your email address to any third parties. We may send you emails about upcoming events or what-have-ya but absolutely no spam. If at anytime you want out, just send us a note, thebackoffice@rocktownhall.com, and that's that.

Thank you for your attention.

I'm the guy that hacked the code and built this little corner of the internet. Frankly, I had virtually no idea what I was doing.

I'm a Flash web designer, Village Green Studios, so I thought that would help, but... not so much. I plunged in and chose the b2evolution software. It looked to me like these were the tech-hippies behind the Movable Type revolution. From what I can gather, they got pissed when Movable Type went commercial and broke off to start their own free blog thang. That they were sticking it to the Man and that one of their support guys (EdB) has an avatar that looks like Jerry Garcia, were the final selling points.

I basically jumped into the deepend and this is what appeared when I came up for air.

If there is anyone out there that is a pro at this sort of thing and would like to help out... by all means... send me an email at thebackoffice[@}rocktownhall.com.

You might hear from me every once in a while when a new feature is added or modified. If you have any user issues or suggestions, feel free to send me a note and I'll try and get back to you as soon as possible.

Please peruse the rest of the User's Guide category to learn about registering, making your posts look purdy and other user stuff.

Oh and I'm a big fan of the rock and roll. I think Lt. Hookstratten said it best-
