More Blog Updates

This is just a quick note to let everyone know that things are still occurring on this blog on the backend. Some changes you’ll see up front, like new graphics or some links. Other changes are occurring behind the scenes, stuff that Google notices but not you, dear reader. The good news is, if Google notices it, so will you and will have an easier time finding it.

In the meantime, maybe make a game of it. How many subtle changes can you spot as we conduct more blog updates?

For now, please check out the latest release, AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY and other Axiom-man titles in the Book and Comic Shop.

2024 is going to be a superhero of a year!

A.P. Fuchs LinkTree Ultra Update

Posted on April 2, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

A.P. Fuchs LinkTree Ultra Update

For those unaware, I keep a LinkTree. The One Link, as I call it. From there you can go to every single place I am on on the Web. YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, this site . . . the list goes on. We also did up a new color scheme the other day, but this weekend I updated my LinkTree (which you can subscribe to) with a catalog of my books via their new store feature. It’s pretty cool and part of the LinkTree ultra update.

Check it out here. And if you’re a creator, I highly recommend getting a LinkTree of your own.

One Link to rule them all!

I’m pleased to report that Machine Month comes to a close today. We’ve been logging major hours at the day job plus doing the creative work and keeping you entertained throughout the week here on this blog and elsewhere.

I’m tired.

Four-day weekend starting tomorrow. I plan to recharge and get a certain book out to you.

I have a plan.

Stay tuned.

Blog Updates

If you’ve been reading my newsletter, you’ll know I’ve been making changes to this blog behind the scenes by way of updating things page by page, entry by entry. There was a lot of coding that went into a lot of the original entries that is now obsolete and is hurting the site, so I’ve been working slowly but surely on correcting those issues.

Thus far, I’ve completed three sections:

The Book and Comic Shop (which looks the same upon entry but when you click on a title, the title’s page is different)

Self-publishing Articles

Book Reviews

More to go, but I was also not using old coding when I got this site back up and running in 2019 so, generally speaking, the remaining adjustments, though a lot, isn’t a total site revamp or anything. Just fine-tuning and tweaking.

Hope you like the new pages as I got about these blog updates.

Hotwheels Muscle Car Shorts and Reels No. 3

Posted on February 17, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

It’s been a very long while since I did a Hotwheels muscle mania muscle car showcase on this blog so here are some muscle car shorts.

Here are three awesome muscle cars to take a gander at. Frankly, I think muscle cars are one of the best-looking cars on the market. Some simple yet powerful about them. It’s a dream to own one but I need to sell more books and comics to do that.

One thing at a time.

Enjoy!

Batman Batmobile Hotwheels Shorts and Reels No. 9

As promised in this blog post, a 9th volume of Batmobile Hotwheels was coming and since it’s been forever since I posted a mini showcase like this, I figured it was time. So here we are. Here are three more batmobiles for your viewing pleasure.

Hotwheels The Batman Batmobile – Buy at Amazon

Hotwheels Batman Arkham Asylum Batmobile in Green – Buy at Amazon

Hotwheels Batman: The Animated Series in Gold Batmobile

Hope you had fun with these Batmobile Hotwheels videos!

Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel for regular videos and shorts! No, really, it’s pretty cool. It’s all about Pop Culture, superheroes, and monsters. I even made a trailer for it.

Thanks.

And, of course, as per usual, if you have a collector video suggestion(s), you can contact me here.

I’m always open to hearing about what folks would like to see. Got a lot of batmobiles to show off, for example, never mind a ton of other hotwheels cars. Did you know I have a dedicated Twitter/X feed solely for showcasing hotwheels? Check it out here and follow. You get a new hotwheels video every hour on the hour 7 days a week between 6AM and 6PM CST. See you there!

Project Blog Site Adjustment

Posted on February 6, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Project Blog Site Adjustment

So if you read last weekend’s edition of THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION, it was revealed that I spent last week working on this website behind the scenes while I wait on the editor for AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY and for my [hopeful] blurb for CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS. (The latter is presently airing on Patreon.)

This is an old site. If you’ve been with me even for just the past 5 or 6 years, you know a lot of content has been put up here. And as good as that is–because I want you guys to have content–technology and software is changing all the time (as we all know) so there are parts of this site on the interface side of things where all this content is produced that needs updating and adjustment.

I’ve managed to create an organized workflow to get it done and thus far have altered the Book and Comic Shop and the titles therein (plus a few other page tweeks). If you check it out, you’ll notice the book pages are laid out differently than before. This was a move to get rid of some old, unnecessary coding that, while it worked for a while, could have been better in terms of title presentation so that’s what I did: Made the book pages pretty just for you. Awww.

So you might notice over the next bit slight modifications to this site in terms of appearance. I like this blog site the way it is in terms of having the columns with the books and other bonuses along the sides with the main content in the middle. Keeps the fun stuff easily accessible while you peruse the content down the center.

Anyway, website-wise, that’s what’s been going down. It’s a bit of a big project on the whole but easy to manage when broken into chunks.

I look forward to having it done within the next month or so. It’s kind of a pick-at project so will take some time.

Cheers.

Some Thoughts on Blogging

Posted on February 1, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Some Thoughts on Blogging

Just sitting here thinking about blogging. It’s considered a great sin in the blogging world for a blogger to blog about blogging. But, every now and then should be okay, right?

To be honest, I don’t have much to add to the idea of blogging or what a blog is. I mean, what is a blog anymore? A long, long time ago in an Internet far, far away, blogs were basically public journals where writers–pro or hobby–could express thoughts and opinions on whatever topic, post it up for the world to see, then hope someone out there agrees with them.

I’ve been thinking about this blog here at Canister X, the Realm of Heroes and Monsters. It’s not really a blog, is it? I mean, kind of. It’s runs on a WordPress engine so thus a blogging platform. The site’s divided into sections and pages, I have the main window of this place to share whatever I want on any given day, and I try and encourage you to explore the site because there’s lots here from articles, to comics, to artwork, to videos, to podcasts–I mean, we’re not really blogging anymore per se. We’re not journaling or running a series of articles on a topic as our main thing either. We’re just sharing art and writing and hoping to entertain and inform you. That’s it.

This site–this place–is more a multimedia hub than a blog-blog. And that’s how I’ve been viewing it for a while: A place of free entertainment and a celebration of pop culture, superheroes, and monsters.

Just some random thoughts this early Sunday afternoon (the time I’m writing this).

Well, let’s just go forward step by step and take it from there.

Peace.

The Canister X Transmission: TinyLetter Archive About to be Gone

Posted on January 18, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

The Canister X Transmission: TinyLetter Archive About to be Gone

As you know, we had to change newsletter services about a month or so back since MailChimp decided to pull the plug on TinyLetter. This is the original blog post.

MailChimp sent out a reminder email the other day to everyone using the TinyLetter service that the archive and accessibility to one’s account is going up in flames at the end of February 2024 so a person had best get going on exporting their reader list otherwise you’d have to build from the ground-up again. Fortunately, we already took care of our newsletter problem and if you’d like to join us, you can do so here.

As for THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION TinyLetter archive, this will only be avilable until the end of next month so if you’d like to read as many issues as you want (except for the past five or six newsletters as they were sent via MailerLite), you need to do so before then and can go here to read them. Enjoy.

Onward.
