A new design for the Angel's Secrets layout is in the works! (But don't hold
your breath. Right now it's just in the
planning/trying-to-find-time-to-work-on-it stage.)
The purpose of this post is to ask for input from the site's visitors about what
features they use, don't use, would like to see, etc.
Currently, we have the following features:
* The story of Angel/the history of the character(s)
* Episode Recaps
* Reviews - for Angel, BtVS, and the books
* Angel Photo Gallery
* Fanficition
* Message Board
* News Archive
* Visitor Poll - currently ranking quotes from the show
* Chat Room
* Links to other sites/off-site content
Please let me know which of the above features you use, and which you've never
used. Also, if you would like to see changes to an existing feature, or see some
features added, please let me know that as well.
You can respond by either replying to this email (note: replies will only come
to me) or by commenting to this thread at our forums:
http://www.neloo.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=2060
Your feedback is much appreciated!
It's here! Round 1 of the Finals in the quotes polls are posted. The
top-vote getters from the previous polls are listed, so we're one
step closer to finding the all-time best BtVS and Angel quotes!
Note that this round of the finals will last for several months to
give more people a chance to vote. This will work out well for me
because I will be busy with holiday stuff next month and probably
won't have a chance to update. (But rest assured, I will *not* have
forgotten the site!)
Remember, if your favorite quote isn't listed, please send it to me
at the address on the contact page of the site. Thanks!
Also, note that I've mostly been going in order picking the quotes,
starting with season one, so most quotes from the later seasons have
yet to appear.
Happy Holidays!!

David (Boreanaz, of course!) is on the September cover of Men's
Fitness magazine. There is an article about him inside, but I haven't
read it yet. If you plan to check it out, be warned that this is a
magazine for *men* so you can probably imagine the type of content it
has.
I did find a copy of the cover, and I'll post it in the group photos
section as soon as I send this. (I'll add it to the gallery as soon
as time permits.)
There is also a picture of David on page 8 of the August 21-27 TV
Guide. They write: "Crankiest Ex-Vampire. David Boreanaz's first
meeting with Hart Hanson, executive producer of his new Fox drama
Bones, didn't go well because, he says, his future boss 'started
talking about Angel ... and I really was not into talking about
that.'"
Sigh. I understand that he wants to move on to new things, but it
would be nice if he didn't want to completely avoid all things Angel.

David is working on a new show called Bones. Thanks to Crystal for
sending the link to the 'Bones' site:

Finally! I added the new layout to the site; check it out and tell me
what you think! As of next month, I will have been running the site
for 4 years; the new design is my way of celebrating
the "anniversary." :)
Included in the re-design was a MAJOR clean-up of the fanfiction
section. I also wrote (very brief) summaries of the stories on the
fanfic index, as a visitor requested ... well ... many, many months
ago.
. . N E W S . .
A little information about David's new show, "Bones"...
Forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan, who works at the
Jeffersonian Institution and writes novels as a sideline, has an
uncanny ability to read clues left behind in a victim's bones.
Consequently, law enforcement calls her in to assist with murder
investigations when the remains are so badly decomposed, burned or
destroyed that the standard identification methods are useless.
Brennan's equally brilliant colleagues at the Jeffersonian's Medico-
Legal Lab include earthy and bawdy Angela Montenegro, who's created a
unique way to render an original crime scene in a three-dimensional
computer image; Brennan's assistant, Zack Addy, a young prodigy whose
genius IQ actually gets in the way of his finishing the several
doctorates he has begun; "the bug guy," Dr. Jack Hodgins, who's an
expert on insects, spores and minerals, but conspiracy is his hobby;
and Brennan's boss, imposing lab director Dr. Daniel Goodman. Brennan
often finds herself teamed with Special Agent Seeley Booth (David
Boreanaz!), a former Army sniper who mistrusts science and scientists
when it comes to solving crimes. Brennan and Booth clash both
professionally and personally, but so far the chemistry between them
has only played out in a fictionalized account in Brennan's latest
mystery novel.

The fall TV schedules have been announced and networks landed
placements for such "Buffy" vets as Nicholas Brendon (FOX's "Kitchen
Confidential"), Alyson Hannigan (CBS' "How I Met Your Mother") and
Seth Green (NBC's "Four Kings") and for "Angel" favorites David
Boreanaz (FOX's "Bones"), Amy Acker (CBS' "The Unit") and Christian
Kane (CBS' "Close to Home").
It's good to see the gang working again. :)

Looks like it'll be next month before the new layout is posted; my
goal of having it done by May's update was a little too ambitious!
But completing it by June's update should be do-able.
When I post the new layout, I'll be joining forces - so to speak -
with a couple of other Angel/Buffy sites to expand the content. (But
just so we're clear, Angel's Secrets *will* remain open, and all of
the current content will remain where it is.)
Stay tuned!

I received a question about the status of the Angel movie. Remember
that I'm just a fan who surfs entertainment news sites - not someone
with an actual connection to the show . . . but the most recent news
that I read (several weeks ago) said that there is talk about doing a
Spike movie. Neither David or Sarah is interested in reprising their
roles, but James said that he would be happy to play Spike again.
When I hear anything else, I'll let you all know!

There wasn't much response to the last "poll" so I made a few
changes: visitors can now vote for their favorite quotes.
Since there are so many great quotes to choose from, this will be the
first in a series of polls.
Even if you don't want to vote, you can check out the quotes . . .
but I hope that you'll vote, too! ;)
