You might remember when Al. Lopez first launch The AL2009man Website? Well it's a long story *Hope my memory serves me right*
I decided to work on a Website of my dreams, something with some Home news and simple details. I have a tough time looking for a free website builder. it's was really hard to find one, well. until i decided to use Weebly as my main buillder
Weebly is a "drag-and-drop" website builder with i can drag a image, HTML, Text, and more. it's was pretty confusing for me at the first time but i used to thoses features. I been working on the website for at LEAST a month. quick progress
This is where i gave my Twitter/Facebook followers a Sneak Peek on my Website just as after my Birthday. keep in mind the picture above is a work in progress at the time. so i decided to change the theme since it doesn't fit. so i decided to change it. i was thinking about creating a Highlight-style Home Page. however since i can't find any support for it and my lack of skills it didn't work it. so i move The Blog page as my Home Page. so after 1 week after the progress. i decided to try out the Blog's Drag and Drop feature as a test. was fine for me at least. but missing Share button's Facebook's Like and Google+'s Plus. so i have a hard time. with it.
I decided to announce the Website is going live on March 26th 2012
However my first starting blog posting was delayed due to my Dad's laptop taken for work. that's way the time my Laptop wasn't working
as of right now. i was very active on the website posting blog news from PlayStation Home, also Non-PSHome related news. ALOT. i give you a link of the first 2 months after my opening of my website

As of right now if you want to read the full article you can visit the link here
I'm not advertising. I'm showing a bit of history of my Website just to continue the topic
during at the time i first post a exclusive find of the HCV's Hoodies. later i decided to post Two exclusives such as http://al2009man.weebly.com/2/post/2012/04/home-nation-pajamas-day-with-loot-space-stations-first-anniversary-party.html and http://al2009man.weebly.com/2/post/2012/05/the-home-community-vonluteers-3rd-anniversay.html
Just as before E3 2012 starts i was thinking if i can open a Embed Theater? after attempting to find it it took me alot of work literly almost 1-2 weeks on the updating progress. and this is where i FIRST open the theater.
and it's first update post
http://al2009man.weebly.com/2/post/2012/06/the-al2009man-website-update-06032012-the-al2009man-theater-broadcasting-playstation-at-e3.html
If you 'curios y' about the update you can click the link above me.
let's continue. After E3. I added so-called 'Headers (i think it since it's Weebly Update)
It was perfect for me to promo such Game/PSHome-Related stuffs such as Mercia and Blueprint:Home.
but let's move on
The Second Update:
http://al2009man.weebly.com/2/post/2012/06/the-al2009man-website-update-6282012-page-viewership-comic-con-2012-theater-more.html
Yep, it's about Page Viewship. was impress with the view i got. alots of them.
then...
http://al2009man.weebly.com/2/post/2012/07/the-al2009man-website-update-7122012-the-al2009man-theater-returned-for-comic-con-2012.html
a 3rd update:
It's was the second opening of the Theater. this time 3 embed screens together in one. LOLWUT right?
Then it was gamescom 2012 time. but no updates at the time being.
http://al2009man.weebly.com/2/post/2012/08/the-al2009man-theater-opens-for-gamescom-2012.html
noting new or so.
Now if i remember, We last updated the layout due to small details to add beautiful headers as the result was this:
On August 25th, 2012 and September 5th, 2012 I have launch a Twitter, Facebook and Google+ Page to focus on posting updates from the sub-accounts, instead of my Personal Twitter and others.
You can visit those social media sites's here
Twitter: http://twitter.com/AL2009manWebs
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AL2009manWebsite
Google+: https://plus.google.com/106726870160016938292/posts
Moving on. as you may notice I was posting less then unusual. (during Sept 2013-Feb 2013) might be because i was lagging because of Weebly's Drag and Drop feature. my hands was tired with the pad (it's a laptop, what else?) might be the reason why.
The Website continue's to update as normal with most of the Bugs found and some cool Weebly features such as Header-Playlist thing and Search the blog thing
During End-October i wanted to make some awesome backgrounds to styleish and to promote some stuffs recentlys happening. so the result was success. it took me longer then i though. testing the background, tweaking the codes and it was pretty success
so i first added the late-Breast cancer awareness month of 2012. but i forgot to publish it so it was my fault.
during my Halloween themed background, but i didn't gain time to finish it but still *DOUBLE SAD*
however i decided to make another background to celebrate celebration of Season 1 Final of the 2012 Award-Winning Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: The Game
pretty much harder this time :( also looking amazing
Then Spike VGA 2012's
Was pretty quick.
During the half-end of Dec. 2012 i wanted to post the memories of the AL2009man Website for the end of the year...well it took me 2 days to complete it before 2013. so you can read it here: http://al2009man.weebly.com/2/post/2012/12/the-al2009man-website-update-30122012-recap-of-al2009man-website-in-2012.html
Well during Jan-May. 2013 i was thinking about redesigning a new website very simple, easy for blog posting. so i decided to look for a builder. that's-
stap.
In Feb, i decided to Re-open The AL2009man Theater once again for #PlayStation2013 Meeting (remember when PS4 was revealed?)
IT WAS GREAT! Moving on
It took me at least 2 week to handle the features the new build and my laptop's lagness. and here's the result
The Day i replace Weebly with WIX
it was a bigest Update of The AL2009man Website, It's very large to list. here's the copy-paste thing
You can still visit the external link http://al2009man.weebly.com/2/post/2013/05/the-new-redesign-al2009man-website.html
http://al2009man.weebly.com/2/post/2013/05/the-new-redesign-al2009man-website.html
"a big change made and removals such as background. simular to Weebly background, we made it simple and easier and...yes no lag. And now for the first time in PlayStation Home Fansites (can be wrong), it uses HTML5. (it may work for Newer Browser that support HTML5) might improve us on adding more features in a Future.
We have removed Chat Log, Find More Fansites and Download Google Chrome because no-one doesn't
go there that much. But The Theaters is back"
While we added the Blog as the Sub-Website with the power of Blogger!
Al's Note: WIX doesn't have a Blog Feature back then, later it already added
"Welcome to the new blog. This blog has many features, now it faster for us to copy and paste, thanks with Blogger Composer we can able to post it pretty easy than Weebly's blog system, it might improve the post time it work - 1 hour to at least 15 minutes or more. new comments and that's it."
Al's note: last time I posted a Europe PSHome Content Update Post first than anyone else on other sites such as Alphazone4, YourPSHome.com or any. *maybe*
Meanwhile we have a new Comment Selection powered by IntenseDebate you can login with IntenseDebate, Wordpress, Twitter, and more*
Awesome right?
Now let's skip to the first Update for our Redesigned Website (I call it 2.05)
Blog: http://al2009man.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-al2009man-website-update-june-6th.html
It's pretty easier for me to Redecorate for E3. (like Background, Header, and more)
pretty faster without Weebly indeed?
while The Blog we added my favorite feature that i wanted to add
DISQUS! Replaced it with DISQUS. you pretty much familiar to the sites from IGN, whatelse...anything supported? whatever. in the meantime you can be GUEST, or Login with DISQUS, Twitter, Facebook and Google+? much better right? :P
later we did another update with http://al2009man.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-al2009man-website-update-july-16th.html
The AL2009man Website's Lobbys is open for Comic-Con 2013 while we added a page that can be linked from AL2009man/Al. Lopez's personal accounts
then we did some Gamescom 2013 livestream again (http://al2009man.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-al2009man-website-update-gamescom.html)
So...It's a story of a The AL2009man Website. pretty long story heh?
It's was a tough little-job for me to maintain the website together with Blogs, and heck with Real-Life. during the Old-AL2009man Website days i needed Mods/Admins for my Website and to post Blogs for me in order to maintain time as of right now. Noting. (heck i even found one for hired, but for some reason no response from hm/her since then) it's hard for me to post more than i used to do ever since i first launched back in 2012, sometimes i don't posts to take a week break or skip one of thoses posts (Granzella, PSHome Europe or American Updates, etc). I'm not the only one here Maintaining everything? there must be some of you here maintain your website pretty longer than i do? right
as you might seen The AL2009man Website has improved from the Start to Present. as you might ask, "What is The AL2009man Website?"
well. It's the Unamazing Website.
