So I have been working hard on the Jim Cummings portfolio section of the site, trying to get the listing of his most popular characters and roles up. Now as the man has hundreds and hundreds of credits to his name, it’s going to take me a while so I’m going to just do a few whenever I can. Gotta squeak work on this site around my day job, you know how it is.
What this means for you is that the portfolio section of the site will be incomplete for a while but will update very slowly as I have a chance to make new pages. I’m not doing them in any logical order, just as I feel like it. 
On the plus side, instead of a boring old list, the new portfolio pages are pretty slick. Each one lists the project (TV show, movie, etc) that Jim Cummings was in, who he played and then (wherever possible) pictures of the character, video clips and where you can get the DVD or download (if the item is available on DVD or download) and then a section for comments so that you can add your favorite quotes or other memories of the characters making it interactive. It’s a lot more work per show than a simple list but I think you’ll really like the result.
A few random pages are up already so if you have a chance, why not take a look at them and let me know what you think.
Here’s what’s up so far:
Whew! Sorry about that!
The site was down for about 5 days there but we managed to fix it and only lost a little data and a few years off my life. 
I will replace the articles that were eaten later today. Thank you very much for your patience and for sticking with us!
If you take a look at the right hand side of the site, you’ll notice some new little ad blocks. This new advertising is done through Project Wonderful which allows advertisers to bid for ad space. Just like an eBay auction, you can put in how much you want to pay for ad space and, as long as you are the highest bid, it’s yours!
However, since we only just set up this ad space today, they don’t have any traffic stats set up for this website yet. While they start collecting traffic stats to use to sell our ad space, we wanted to give loyal readers a chance to get a piece of the action.
The current bid to advertise on our site is… $0! That’s right, free! You can try it out for a little while and see if the ads are worth it with no charge whatsoever until something bids at a price higher than you. Pretty cool, right?
If you want to sign up for one of these free ads, you can do so here.
Update: We are still playing around and working on getting the bugs out with this service so we apologize for any trouble this caused for those that signed up before. The free ads now get even more exposure as they appear above the fold (woohoo!) but they are also a little smaller so that we could extend this opportunity to more sites. To do this, we had to cancel the existing bids so you may need to set up your ad again (sorry!). Also, on the navbar you will notice a nice new, very large skyscraper sized ad. This one we are actually charging for so, while it’s not free, it is very cheap. You can bid on that space here.
Thank you very much for your support of this site!
Sorry for the lack of updates. It being the time of year when just about every show in on break, things are little slow. I have some tricks up my sleeve but I am trying to ration them so I have a little content each week.
That said, if anyone at Disney wants to crack down on movie piracy I *highly recommend* that they set up an alert on Google Blogs for the keyword “Jim Cummings.” With a few exceptions (this blog included) just about every result is a Disney or similar movie available for illegal download.
Exhibit A
I mean, not to be a spoil sport, but they are being really obvious. Seems like a really easy way to catch these people if you ask me. . .
So, suddenly a few weeks ago, every single one of the subscribers to this website canceled their subscription. I combed the archive and tried to figure out what horribly offensive thing I may have said to cause everyone to leave at once and I couldn’t figure it out.
Until today. See, there was a new version of WordPress a few days ago and when we upgraded the site software, it deactivated all of our plugins, one of which is helps you to subscribe to our feed.
If that is Greek (or, in this case, geek) to you, no worries. All it really means is that you may have been accidentally unsubscribed from the site because of this. I have set up a page that has several of the ways that you can subscribe to this site (including email which we had not offered before) so if you want to be notified whenever this site is updated in any way, please select one of the options here.
Thanks for your patience while we work these kinks out!
So, something seems to be playing utter havoc with our bandwidth and I had no idea what since we aren’t even back in the top 10 results for Jim Cummings yet on Google. Unfortunately, it means that things are randomly not loading all over the site so I apologize for any trouble this may cause and we should be back up and running very soon!
I have some really good stuff to post next week so stay tuned!
A little birdie just emailed us to let us know that Jim Cummings just switched agencies. He is now with DPN (which stands for Danis, Panaro & Nist).
His fanmail address has been updated accordingly so please double check that you have it right before sending it out.
A very huge thank you as well to the Tiggerific reader who passed this info on!
