It was on Sunday, September 20, 2009, when KingCheetah had the neccessary work for his new website completed, and then published it to the web. But there was one problem: it just wasn’t worth anyones time to visit it. Why? Well, for one, the forum program that was being used was the old Invisionfree system, and the way the podcast stream worked was outdated by about five years.

“It just wasn’t really ready for anyone using it” KingCheetah said yesterday. “The forum was absolutley hidious, and the podcast system was so 2004. I mean…people would’ve had to manually update the podcast episodes! I guess I should’ve just put off publishing the site until it was working the way I planned.” KingCheetah also said that Invisionfree’s video streaming capabilties had a shocking and disappointing resolution of just 200 pixles, which is less than half of what standard definition TVs are capable of producing.

So now you ask: What improvments were made on KingCheetah’s Place for Felines? Well the first improvement that was made was on the forum. Last week, the Invisinfree forum system was upgraded to Zetaboards, a more up-to-date system, that looks great. The forum actually isn’t simple-looking and confusing like it used be, and it’s more secure. One thing that might make the forum seem useless is the fact that you can’t do audio or video posts on the systems, but posting links to to videos and audio recordings on third party websites is allowed.

The other improvment that was made was to the podcast stream. Instead of having to manually update the podcast, KingCheetah fixed the system so that the episode updates are automatic. Also, subscribers to the podcast can get it on any MP3 player, phones with MP3 features, and even PSPs and DSis; and there’s even detailed instructions and how to get the podcast on your device.

Even though improvements have been made, however, there’s actually some things about the podcast that need to be fixed, according to KingCheetah. Apparently, KingCheetah had made some mistakes in preparing for the first podcast episode recording, and as a result, the recording doesn’t sound right at certain points. KingCheetah said, though, that the next podcast episode will sound a lot better because it will be better prepared for. The next episode will be released on November 1.

The other problem with the podcast is the podcast picture. Although a podcast picture was created, uploaded, and included in the RSS feed, the picture does not show when someone subscribes to the podcast. KingCheetah believes that it could be a problem with My Podcast, the podcast hosting service, because he’s tried fixing the episode properties and the there has been no success with that. This problem, KingCheetah hopes, should be solved in a couple of weeks.

Despite those problems, though, KingCheetah says the website is worth checking out because it might seem pretty interesting, like any animal-related website, and the two problems are soon to disappear. And, some new features are on the way these next 4 months or so. To access the website, just go to kingcheetahpf.webs.com.
