Hey guys and gals! Welcome to the brand new Bak 2 Basiks. Ive been working on this site for the past week or so and am really happy with the outcome. Please keep in mind that the site is still technically in BETA. For those not in the whole tech lingo, what that means is that there are bugs, there are minor problems and small spacing glitches that I am working on.

I was going to keep the site under maintenance mode until it was 100% in my eyes but I have decided to open it up due to the breaking twitter story.

Things we are working on:

Brand new Basik Logo! For all of our sites.
Promotion.
Finding writers.
Getting some events lined up. Both 19+ and All Ages.
New Segments and weekly stories like tack of the week and stupid people on Facebook!

Those are all things that were working towards. So if you think you can help in any of those ways please let us know at dave@b2basiks.com.

So lets talk about the new Site.

The new site has been testing on both Macs and PC’s running almost every browser and they for the most part work just as I would expect them to.

This is our brand new Menu! Its elegantly designed with the fancy new slider which I play with just to watch it shoot across the screen. As far as my testing goes, I don’t know of any bugs with it, IT WORKS GREAT! I have even tested it on unbelievably slow and worn out computers and it works fine.

Above noted is our Read More button. From now on we will be taking advantage of it. With the exception of this article. If its a very long article we will only show the first paragraph or so just to give you a taste of the article. If you want to read the rest of it you will have to click read more. This Is the way it works with most blogs in order to declutter the home page.  We will use this method for the time being and we will see if it works for us. If not we will revert to full stories on the home page.

This is our new search tool Its actually quite cool and minimalist. The search bar is actually hidden behind the little magnifying glass. To search just click on it, type in your search and press enter.

Using the Share this button is actually awesome. With the click of a button you can instantly share the articles on our site with any one on almost every social network including Digg, Facebook, twitter, myspace, and a whole buncha other ones I’ve never heard of.

Oh the Featured Slider! How much I love you! As much as these featured sliders have been a pain in my ass and are impossible to set up and get working properly. We finally have one. It works, and its awesome. It works very well how ever on on older PC’s bugs out and glitches some times but does not affect the usability or readability of the site AT ALL. This Slider is awesome and will will allow you to see the top stories on the site right now that we really want you to read.

Any ways, This was a lengthy one. My carpal is acting up and I don’t wanna type any more so…. I hope you enjoy the new site and I hope you enjoy the new site and as I said earlier if you have any suggestions tips comments or would like to help out in any way, let me know at dave@b2basiks.com

I have had to change the look of the site back to our old design due to some major bugs I found within the coding of our new theme. I guess its okay since i love the old look.  we’ll work on a new look as I am too lazy to work with the old one any more. If you liked the old look better let me know in the comments poll and I’ll put it back once its fixed.

If you are a web designer or know a lot about word press optimization and customization and want to help out with a new design. let me know at dave@b2basiks.com and we will make you part of the team. maybe I will through some free swag your way….

Hey every one! Okay so I’m really sorry about the past 2 months. To all of our readers and followers. When I (WE) started Bak 2 Basiks, me and the whole team were all broke ass college students with hours of time on our hands to spend doing random shit. As the past year and a half have progressed, most of us have graduated from college, and have moved onto our full time careers. This for myself, meant starting my full time job as a help desk analyst. Now I love my job, but its left me between a rock and …. a hard place (i guess).

How much time can i really devote to B2Basiks, and the rest of the Basik Entertainment group was a serious question. Thankfully how ever. I have decided to continue with the site. and the rest of my web based projects. For the time being work has yet block b2basiks.com which mean I can update it from work. which is a good thing for me and YOU! As of today we are kind of out of our hibernation state that we have been in for the past few months. Starting right now (give me a couple days to get back into the swing of things) you can expect regular posts again.

That being said. I want to deliver more content to all of our readers. What this means is that I am going to need more and more writers. people that can write consistently. writers can write on any topic any length. Hell as you can see in most of my posts they are just pictures or videos for the most part.

Thanks to every one. And sorry about the short break we took.

If you want to be one of our writers then you can contact me @ dave@b2basiks.com

Hey guys. This is just a test post from my brand new android phone. Sorry. You can ignore this.

Alright every one! So as i said last week, this is a brand new year and with a new year bring new ideas and a new path for the Basik Entertainment group. As you can see we launched our brand new design last night.

The design is a little bit different then anything we had in the past. So although this is the design I’ve decided to go with after lots of redesigning and work, this will probably be changing a lot. There are a few bugs that hidden deep down and were working 100% if you do find a bug in the site please e-mail me @ dave@b2basiks.com. Small little design things will be fixed and updated in the next few weeks.

SO! for the future!

Basik Radio site will be taken down in the next few days, maybe even tonight.

Basik Radio will be redesigned, and should only take a few days.

Although the Redesign will only take a few days were going to be down for about 2 weeks. What does this mean for our listeners, well all it means is that you will be listening to The AutoDJ for pretty much the whole time.

Over the next 2 weeks we will be planing a relaunch event and promoting like crazy. A date will be set for that very soon. We want to get a lot of listeners that night!

ANY WAYS! HOPE YOU ENJOY THE NEW LOOK! if you dont and you really want the old look back or think you can build a wordpress design better than this one. Hit me up at dave@b2basiks.com.

hey every one! happy new years to every one of our readers! we hope you all have a very nice christmas and hope you all havea  safe and fun new years celebration.

News for 2010! as most us of have been, I have been super busy the past 3-4 weeks, and ive been slacking off majour. but starting the new year, once I recover from my celebrations that is, we will be back in full force.

That being said, a list of things to be expected in 2010 in no particular order:

A relaunch of basic radio! in the past few months we have kind left Basik radio fall through the cracks. Missing shows, a newly built schedule,  and a repetitive autoDJ (rrrg) will be fixed as of the end next week. Themost impotant and exciting thing is a brand new website! I am currently working on a brand new design for Basik Radio but that may take a few more weeks. Just give it some time.some more long term BR goals… New DJ’s New shows New everything!

A Brand new Design for our home page. Not that we don’t like the current one, but when i built it, it was not meant to be permanent. I meant for it to only last a few weeks maybe a month while i came up with something SUPER AWESOME! But… I got lazy and people seemed to like the new design so i kept it longer than i had hoped. So once I rebuild the Basik Radio Site this is my #1 priority.  time frame on this is about 2 months. If you dont want me to change the site, then leave a comment bellow and i’ll think about leaving it. If you are a web designer and know a lot about PHP and Word Press Customization, then you can e-mail me, @ dave@b2basiks.com, and maybe you can help us out.

Last but certainly not least (no seriously not least. i want to do this right away!). Find more writers. I want people that can help me post on a daily basis so that there is enough content for our readers (THATS YOU!). I’m looking for more writers. people who are going to write every day, on any topic, hell it can be random youtube videos or photos that you post, hell i dont care! If you interested in helping out let me know @ dave@b2basiks.com. all of our writers will receive an @b2basiks.com e-mail too!

Any ways… now that im done. Me an the rest of the Basik Team wish you a happy new years! Don’t Drink and Drive!!!!
