In fact, my online social networking portfolio rivals that of most humans. Yet, one thing I have always lacked was a true online home, a la website. Well, now that has changed as today I&#8217;m proud to announce the launch of my brand new website, <a title=\"Butler.edu\/Blue2 - Online Home of Butler Blue II\" href=\"http:\/\/www.butler.edu\/blue2\" target=\"_blank\">Butler.edu\/Blue2<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Note: My site is best viewed in Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari. The site gets a little lost in translation on Internet Explorer. Why are you using Internet Explorer anyway?!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>Form and Functionality<\/h4>\n<p>Upon a visit to the site, you&#8217;ll find that the homepage acts as a hub to the aforementioned social media activity that I&#8217;m currently engaging in, including this blog. Now you only have to remember one place to find me and let my website guide you the rest of the way, whether it be my live office <a title=\"Blue II's Live Office Webcam\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ustream.tv\/channel\/the-life-and-times-of-butler-blue-ii\" target=\"_blank\">web cam<\/a>, <a title=\"Blue II on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/butlerblue2\" target=\"_blank\">Flickr<\/a>, <a title=\"Blue II on Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/butlerblue2\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a title=\"Blue II on Facebook\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/butlerblue2\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a title=\"Blue II on Pinterest\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/butlerblue2\" target=\"_blank\">Pinterest<\/a>, this blog, or <a title=\"Blue II on Foursquare\" href=\"http:\/\/www.foursquare.com\/butlerblue2\" target=\"_blank\">wherever I am<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A quick browse of the site content reveals a ton of information, not just about me, but the live mascot and costumed mascot history at Butler. In addition, there is some <a title=\"Contact Blue II\" href=\"http:\/\/www.butler.edu\/blue2\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\">content<\/a> that my fans and followers may find useful, such as&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Appearance schedule<\/li>\n<li>Autograph request form<\/li>\n<li>Appearance request form<\/li>\n<li>School appearance request form<\/li>\n<li>Licensing information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Fun for Fans<\/h4>\n<div>Now all of that stuff is well and good. Not to mention, it makes for a useful, informative and attractive website. However, I had a couple of other goals in mind; I wanted to offer a site that was fun and provided content that couldn&#8217;t be found anywhere else&#8230;for free! With that said, I present to you, &#8220;<a title=\"Blue II's Doggie Bag\" href=\"http:\/\/www.butler.edu\/blue2\/doggie-bag\" target=\"_blank\">Blue II&#8217;s Doggie Bag<\/a>.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<div>My Doggie Bag is a cyberspace dedicated to my fans. It&#8217;s a place where you can find a varying range of cool, unique, fun, free, do-it-yourself, Blue II offerings, such as:<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Blue II Stickers\" href=\"http:\/\/www.butler.edu\/blue2\/doggie-bag\/stickers\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stickers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Blue II Ringtones\" href=\"http:\/\/www.butler.edu\/blue2\/doggie-bag\/ringtones\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ringtones<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Blue II Wallpapers\" href=\"http:\/\/www.butler.edu\/blue2\/doggie-bag\/computer-wallpapers\/\" target=\"_blank\">Computer &amp; Mobile Wallpapers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Blue II Coloring Pages\" href=\"http:\/\/www.butler.edu\/blue2\/doggie-bag\/coloring-pages\/\" target=\"_blank\">Coloring Sheets<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Blue II Iron-On Transfers\" href=\"http:\/\/www.butler.edu\/blue2\/doggie-bag\/iron-transfers\/\" target=\"_blank\">Iron-on Transfers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Blue II Photos\" href=\"http:\/\/www.butler.edu\/blue2\/doggie-bag\/photos-of-me\/\" target=\"_blank\">Photographs<\/a><\/li>\n<li>And hopefully much more soon!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>Sure, I&#8217;m a licensed entity of Butler University; available for commercialization through product. That&#8217;s good thing for me and my fans, but I&#8217;m also &#8220;America&#8217;s Dog,&#8221; and you don&#8217;t earn that title by hiding yourself from the people. So I wanted to give back to those who have made me the mascot that I am today and that&#8217;s how I came up with my Doggie Bag. I hope you enjoy it!<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>Well, for that matter, I hope you enjoy the entire site and come back often. Don&#8217;t hesitate to offer feedback and requests. I&#8217;m always open to new ideas and want to improve the site at any chance that I get.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<div>Butler.edu\/Blue2 &#8211; tell your friends<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m all over the World Wide Web.
