Just wanted to take a minute and bring everyone up to speed on some of the features here on Blueshirt Banter. We've had many new members come on board the last few weeks, and we welcome all of you, and want to make sure you know just how great a website this is:

Fan Posts: Got something on your mind? A topic you want to discuss? Have at it, post your very own Ranger or NHL related story here, and if we like it, we just might move it to the front page! Just keep it PG-13.

Fan Shots: Got a Rangers or NHL picture or video you want to share? Post it up in the Fan Shots for all of us to get a look at. Same rule as Fan Posts, keep them PG-13.

Player rosters: At the top of the home page, there is a tab for "players". By clicking the tab, you can see the player page for every player on the Rangers roster, along with all their stats.

"Buzz" us up: At the bottom of every story on Blueshirt Banter, you will see a "buzz" button to help hype the story on Yahoo. If you like the story, "buzz" it up!

Share us on Facebook: Also at the bottom of every story, you will see a button to share the story on Facebook. If you like the story, share us! Blueshirt Banter also has a page on Facebook, which I swear I am going to update more often.

Digg it!: There is also a button at the bottom of every story to share our stories on Digg, if you like the story, go ahead and share it.

This site is for all of us, we want all of you to be a part of it, and we really do value your input.
