| How often is new material added to The Blue Brick? New material is added every 2-3 weeks. New material means at least three new stories. New horoscopes are added every other issue (every 4-6 weeks) Some of the text on The Blue Brick overlaps when I am viewing the site. Why? Early versions of Netscape, and some other browsers, such as Mozilla, don't view The Blue Brick very well. This is a combination of your browser, and the software that I use to build The Blue Brick. Unfortunately, the result is a poorer looking site for the small percentage of readers who have this problem. Hopefully, in the near future, I will start using a different page editor, or you will upgrade your browser, and we'll all be happy campers. Does The Blue Brick accept submissions and/or story ideas? Negative. All material on The Blue Brick is written by yours truly, Doug Small. Not accepting submissions has nothing to do with the quality of anyone else’s writing, it is just that one of the things that makes The Blue Brick different from a lot of other satire sites is the fact that I do all the writing. What type of government rules New Zealand? I’m not quite sure why you are asking, but New Zealand’s ruling government is a Parliamentary Democracy. While no formal constitution is in place, New Zealand’s legal system is based on English law. New Zealand’s current prime minister, elected in 1999, is Helen Clark. Where are Blue Brick headquarters? The Blue Brick is written by Doug Small, who lives in Louisville, KY. (Insert tired Southern joke here). I tried to get some office space at the Hall of Justice, but Superman was being a real prick, trying to get me to sign a long-term lease when I expressly told him that I was looking for a month-to-month. Then, he tried to lease me more space than I needed. So, until I can deal with someone else over there, the Hall of Justice is out. I’ll keep you posted. Can I subscribe to The Blue Brick? For now, yes. I am finding, much to my dismay, that email list management is a relatively expensive venture. Once the list gets too large, I most likely will be forced to close it to new subscribers. (If you’ve already subscribed, fear not. Your subscription is locked in.) You can always help to cover some of my costs by sending me some scratch, via the Amazon Honor System links on the site. Can I hire Doug to write for me? Absolutely. I freelance whenever possible. Email me. Let’s talk. Can I hire Doug to wash my car? Sorry. Due to overwhelming demands on my time, I can no longer wash reader’s cars. What is the best way for me to support The Blue Brick? Again, the Amazon Honor System link allows you to send me a tip, as little as one dollar. Any money raised will help pay for the cost of keeping The Blue Brick running. You can also support the affiliate links on the site, such as USA Today, DirectTV DSL, and Capital One. Most importantly, however, I would ask you to spread the word. Tell all your pals about The Blue Brick. Email articles, post them on discussion boards, whatever. The more readers, the better. Got a question about The Blue Brick? Email me today. Your question may make it to the FAQ page. Fight the good fight. -Doug |
