Back when we produced the first episode of the Television Zombies podcast in the far off distant land of Summer 2007, we had a problem — we needed a Web site.  However, we didn’t have the time to do it right, so we went with a somewhat customized version of a well-known and established blog theme. The art was borrowed from one of Tina’s design brands, and the template was built over a couple of evenings.

It was always meant to be temporary, but as these things usually go, it was starting to become permanent.  I have always felt that the site never came close to matching the level of quality and professionalism that went into the podcast, and that we needed to bring the Web site up to the same high standards.

For the past month and a half, the TVZ team and I have been working on a new Web site — one that puts an emphasis on the podcast, while still allowing the excellent news, commentary and reviews to shine.  I am very proud of the finished product, and I feel that Television Zombies is now a complete operation, rather than a podcast that just happens to have a blog associated with it.  Over the coming months, the new Web site will become as critical to the TVZ experience as the podcast.

Although the new site is up and running, it is still undergoing testing.  If you run across anything strange, if something doesn’t work or look like you think it should, please let us know by email us at televisionzombies@gmail.com.  We’ll need your help to make sure that all the problems are ironed out and the site will be the best it can be.

Finally, this is a very exciting time for us — the downloads of the podcast are continuing to grow, and the number of unique visitors to the site is up by over 40 percent.  All this wouldn’t be possible without our dedicated listeners and readers, whose continued support means everything to us.  We wouldn’t be up to Episode 32 if it wasn’t for you.
