Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

Sorry, Kings. You're last again.

Newduckblog_mediumAw, look at the little guy, growing up so fast!

Cartoons aside, congratulations are in order to Arthur and Daniel from Anaheim Calling for accepting the SB Nation challenge -- they'll be moving their blogging act over to this platform sometime in the near future (don't ask me when -- I was barely in the loop when BoC migrated).

Well-deserved, I say; they certainly came with a Sleek endorsement, and I'm excited to see what they bring to the SBN universe -- "Look! A story about the Ducks! And I didn't write it!"

There will certainly be more coming on this as we all get adjusted and figured out, and we'll have some interactive pieces coming pretty soon.  Remember: this is a good thing for BoC -- sure we're slowly being replaced but we ain't getting split up.  Plus now we'll have some idea about Anaheim's prospect pool -- I don't follow that one bit.

With Anaheim Calling in fold, Mirtle's dream of 30-team coverage is nearly complete -- all that remains is to fill a Kings blogger spot, so come on, Kings fan(s)!  Get typing!

I should add -- if you had your heart set on writing for the Ducks at SB Nation, all is not lost.  There's plenty of responsibilities for a team-specific blog at SBN, and there may be contributor opportunities down the road.  In the meantime, there's always FanPosts -- see how much fun I'm having?

So welcome aboard, AC.  Looking forward to some good times this year.  Go Ducks.

Oh yeah, and while I’m on the subject of SB Nation, apparently they just debuted a new-looking main page which is supposed to knock our socks off or something — Here’s the link for the NHL main page.

I’ve been told that I’m supposed to replace my ESPN bookmark with SB Nation, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Thanks, Sleek.

I actually have no idea when we’re moving either. Mirtle said a couple weeks and that a tech team would be in touch, but there has been no touching.

You should change your name to “Arthur from… here!”

Mike Chen did it when we migrated. Unfortunately it involves an e-mail to the tech team.

If you click your "edit account" thingy,

there’s a thing that says “Claim an older SB Nation blog account .” I think you could make a new screen name and “claim” the old one. However I don’t know how this works or anything but it’s probably worth a try.

DON'T DO THAT! Seriously.

I suggested that once, too — but I believe that capability is reserved for people who had an SBN userID on SBN’s old platform (1.0 or something, which was altered in 2008 or so). It doesn’t work for claiming a currently working userID — so if you create a new account, Old You and New You will never be connected.

Need to email the tech team to change your userID.

(Oh, and welcome, Arthur and Daniel! Really happy you guys will be making the move … some day.)

I definitely trust Dominik here — it has to be done by e-mail, and at their convenience. No secret workarounds.

I’m struggling to remember, but if it’s anything like our move, you may find out the morning of (though we knew we were in our “window” or something). We had a post ready to publish.

Yeah, he said someone would email us concerning design. I thought it was too good to be true.

Congrats … and … touching?? … you want touching ?? … :)

Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality?

It’s a low point in my life, waiting for tech people to contact me. So I’m not picturing stateside Geek Squad techs; I’m picturing young vivacious Indian women, like that call center in Slumdog Millionaire.

Very nice! I was rooting for Art + Dan to get the nod too. Grats guys, you’re moving up in the world!

In response to your shout out to Kings fans starting up an SBN blog:

Here is my vote.

Get on it, Quisp.

technically

tied for last (in the standings anyway)? but who’s counting?

and yeah, Quisp does have really good takes. I’d start a blog if I didn’t have an actual job / life. maybe after I get married in a few months, but by then the Kings would be out of it anyway.
