You try to do everything right. You try to make nice with all the other bloggers. Then a jerk has-been like John Chow has to cut you down and hack your website. 
Seriously John… can’t you pick on someone your own size?!
Today is April Fool’s Day, and bloggers around the world unite on this day to try to make the best gag around. I know you guys don’t want this garbage to be laid on to thick… the typical “I’m selling my website,” “I’ve been hacked” or just annoying redirects… its all very overdone in my mind.
Because of the fact that pretty much anything serious posted on April 1st is completely disregarded by the reading public, there’s no real point in putting out an article in my mind. But hey, I hope you liked the changes made to my header… I gotta tell you, it’s a kick defacing your own artwork! 
Regardless, I am going to make a list here of some of the web’s best April Fool’s jokes that I have come across. Please comment below to let me know of any websites that you saw & think I should add to the list.

@ Agent: Jason hasn’t gone ahead and disclosed it was officially a prank, and its not outlandish enough for me to go ahead and guarantee it is one. Basically I am reserving judgment on that one
