Dustin's Bio

To sum it up briefly, I'm an absolute basketball junkie. Though a die-hard Celtics fan, I certainly keep up with the rest of the league (as well as NCAA) as much as possible. Whether you consider it sad or not, the majority of my day revolves around basketball, whether it involve playing it, watching it, discussing it, writing about it, or what have you. Heck, I'm even an avid fan of the NBA 2k series on my XBOX 360. Fantasy basketball? I run leagues annually.

I think you get the picture.

As far as my love of the Celtics is concerned, it's all natural. Growing up in southern New Hampshire - about 40-45 minutes north of Boston - I've supported my home team as long as I've been interested in basketball (first grade). Watching the boys celebrate Green 17 was one of the most fulfilling moments I've felt, which is saying a lot, as I have no major gripes in my life.

I've written for various sites, such as CelticsBlog.com, Celtics247.com, CelticsNews.com, and BBWForums.net. Hopefully I enjoy myself here and can add Bleacher Report to that wonderful list.

Sorry Bill, but I have to say Air Jordan.

    I guess that one article was enough. Sorry, I didn't realize you only wrote one article. I now see that I am ranked second after writing that one article. I guess it's a fault in the system.
    Maybe it's something to be proud of? haha

    Hey Dustin,
    Considering you're the number one Hornets writer, I figured you'd find this interesting.

    Dustin, you are tearing it up man, 30 articles, 30 days, wow I am impressed, and each one is of great quality. Good work my friend.

    It was already taken care of. Under your picture area, it says "Dustin's Website," meaning your site was connected with this if the check box for it was left checked. There was an extra Cavs and Mavs article with no B/R picture and that box table thing was around the depth chart like it is on your blog. I guess the site pulled a couple old ones for some reason.

    As for the people tags, articles should only have people tags if the article is about that person/player. If they are just mentioned in passing or are one of several people mentioned, they probably don't need to have one. If I search Josh Howard, I should get articles on how dumb he is and stuff, but not Mavericks stories that mention him. If you have a story that's purpose is comparing two or three players, those players can all be tagged.

    It's not my rule, but not many people search the site for players, anyway. Pretty much just sports and teams. The idea is to keep each tag from getting cluttered from too much kind-of-related stuff so that the specific stuff is easier to find.

    Anyway, like I said, it's OK to post pictures, so sorry my fellow editor there yoinked them off. If it doesn't take any effort and you'd prefer to have them here, I say keep putting them in. I thought it looked good from what I could tell, except I might've taken out the first one so that there wouldn't be another photo too close to the B/R one at the top of the page.

    Sorry again for the minor headaches...

    Aha—yeah, I recognize your screen name and read those sometimes.

    WordPress might be compatible...it depends on if you can right-click on the photo in the editor and then copy it and paste it into the B/R editing module. It should work, but sometimes the coding doesn't come through.

    Basically, the in-text photos have to be from a url host with an image source code. Lemme know if you need a quick explanation on how to make that code work, but you probably won't need it.
