Floorball-World.com now on Twitter

Floorball-World.com is proud to announce that we've joined the social networking site, Twitter. You can follow the twitter feed using RSS or by viewing our sidebar.

Our Twitter feed will be updated more often than our site, so check that for the latest floorball updates from around the world. As well, remember that we're also on Facebook and YouTube!

Floorball-World.com Relaunch!

Many people have been sending e-mails in and have been wondering, why haven't we updated in so long? So we thought that we owe you an explanation.

During the 2009 Men's under-19 World Floorball Championships, our owner and operator, Andrzej Zadora, was slated to make posts everyday about his journeys in Finland. However, internet problems did not allow him to update the site, and another blow came when several volunteers announced that they could no longer stay in touch with the site.

As well, technical issues arose with the site and as it has been so long since the last update, we thought it would be better to simply relaunch the site with a new color scheme and look.

In addition to that, we have brought on board several new volunteer editors and will be introducing new sections, such as "Equipment of the Week."

So, new look, new editors, and a whole new Floorball-World.com! Enjoy!

We're Back!

So it's been 4 weeks since we last posted here on Floorball-World.com, and we realise that we've caused some inconvenience for many of our visitors. For the hundreds of you that visited over the last month or so, we hope you've realised that we've been undergoing maintenance.

Our site owner and operator, Andrzej Zadora, is off to Finland for the 2009 men's under-19 world floorball championships tomorrow. He'll be making posts from his travels across Finland, including his matches with the M-Team, FBC Turku, and Keravan Salibandy. Also, we will continue with our usual predictions, and daily reports from Turku & Raisio.

As well, Floorball Chick will be making several posts during this time as well.

We apologize for any inconvenience. Please keep sending in your e-mails!

Maintenance

Hello readers of Floorball-World.com,

As you may already know, we have been performing maintenance on our site and nobody has been able to see any posts for over 2 weeks now. Articles from last week will appear slowly on the page, and frankly, no new posts will be made daily until the beginning of April.

However, this will all be made up to you with our unprecedented coverage of the 2009 Men's U19 World Floorball Championships from Turku & Raisio, Finland.

Please keep sending in your e-mails as usual.

Cheers,
Floorball-World.com Crew
