I’ll appreciate any feedback about the new layout. Tell me what you like and what you don’t like.

Image is totally unrelated but everyone seems to adore Mio Akiyama from K-ON! ^^. Anyways, some small layout changes and additions as you may already notice:

5 latest posts in the header from Anime, Figures, Events and Otaku category.
Remove the Day/Month on the left side beside the post title and put it right under Author name.
Move RSS feed links to top right corner of the header.
Add ‘Links’ page and remove the it from the home page.

To do list ( When I am not lazy ):

Display list of posts on the homepage with thumbnails-like.
Display RSS feed for fellow bloggers randomly in the links page.
Redesign the whole website (sometime in the future >.>).
Increase the width for the post column so I can display somewhat larger images.

Updates:

Add rss feed link for each latest post category (you guys should see the rss icon right beside category name)

Upgraded to WordPress 2.7.1

I spent sometimes this morning to upgrade my very outdated wordpress 2.5.1 to wordpress 2.7.1 after a year since my last upgrade. The upgrade was pretty much painless and it took me about 1 hour from backing up my wordpress files and database to fully up and running with wordpress 2.7.1. I did one small mistake which was to deactivate all my plugins before I upgraded but luckily, all plugins seemed to be working fine (keeping my finger crossed). I followed exactly the WordPress’ guide for upgrading which can be found here.

The new design on the admin section is a lot nicer from before and I think it’s much easier to go from one page to the other. I haven’t played around with it much but I love the ‘Posts’ section since it utilizes the full screen of my monitor unlike before. I can easily see huge portion of my post ^^.

Anyways, let me know if you guys encountered some problems.

Website Updates

I took some time to organize my websites and adding more links under comrades on the side bar. In addition, I re arranged how I display the affiliates links and google adsense.

1 line text only google adsense I put at the top. Originally I was going to put full google ad but I found that it’s too distractive unless I create a toogle where you can choose to hide the google ad like how Danny did it on dannychoo.com . It requires me to do additional coding on my part and not surre how complicated it will be but should be fun and challenging.

As you probably notice, I added 1 more tab beside ‘About’ called ‘My Figures’. What it does basically is displaying all my figures photo shoots that I have done so far and they are under ‘Figure’ category. I hope you guys like it and let me know if something goes wrong.

I also added/removed some categories. ‘Preorder’ category will be for all posts related to stuff that I pre-order like Fate/Unlimited Codes [SP Box] post, meanwhile, ‘figure’ category contains all posts for figures photoshoot.

New banner was also uploaded last week. I got sick of the default top banner so decided to make my own. It’s not the best banner but will do for now since my photoshop skill is below par lol ^^;;. The character is Mizushima Asa from Sora no Iro Mizu no Iro by Tony Taka which you can get it from moe.imouto.org .

edit: Any comments or suggestions are always appreciated
