   Patch Update!

I have updated my patch (site upgrade) announcement. For those that didn't read it, here it is- ATTENTION- SITE DOWNTIME! MY PAGE WILL BE GOING DOWN TONIGHT, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 22nd, at Midnight Eastern Time, 9:00pm Pacific Time, FOR A SCHEDULED UPDATE. ESTIMATED DOWN TIME IS PLANNED FOR 5 MINS AT MOST. PM ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THANK YOU! So for those of you who have been waiting for the patch, rest assured that it will indeed be coming, and that it will come tonight! I've made some final touch-ups and a few cosmetic changes, but it is officially READY for Otaku! I might need a couple minutes to make sure everything goes as planned tonight, so I ask everyone to be patient. Oh, and one more quick announcement. My site will be best viewed at higher resolutions, so if you wondering what possibly should be used at like one thousand something by eight hundred something, then this is one of those things!

   One day left...

It's now Thursday. I've been working on the page upgrade all day, and I have to say, that it has come together rather nicely. It's actually all done now, the raw code(yes a lot of my new page is actually pure html) is sitting in a notepad file waiting to be uploaded into my profile. I'm going to take this day to let people take a good look at my old page. You'll still recognize my page, it'll have a very similar color shceme and feel, but it'll look WAY better and have a lot more background info on me. The one thing I need to warn everyone about is my friends list will NOT be accesible from my home page. I will make a valiant effort to get all of my registered friends' buttons though, and make them for ones who don't (if they let me). I wish there was a way around that but there isn't. Anyway, I hope everyone has a good day. Look alive for the new page as early as tonight at Midnight Eastern Time!

   Site Update Coming Soon!

I hope you saw my announcement on the top of my page. If for some reason you didn't, here it is- ATTENTION- SITE DOWNTIME! MY PAGE WILL BE GOING DOWN ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, FOR A SCHEDULED UPDATE. ETA ON ITS RETURN IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE. PM ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THANK YOU! Anyway, I have decided that I'm going to be bringing my site down this Friday in order to work on it. Usually, like most of you know, I just work on it live, and often screw up stuff for a couple minutes. Well, what I'm going doing to my site could potentially screw it up for a few hours, and I don't want people to get stuck on my site or not be able to sign my guestbook or anything like that. Besides, I don't want anyone seeing what I'm doing with my site until its done. And, BunnieGirl , even though she's my GF, doesn't even know what's coming, so don't bother asking her. Oh, and no, she can't get it out of me either, so don't even think about it!

   It is almost time...

I have been doing a lot of thinking, and I think I finally have enough experience making buttons, boxes, etc to revamp my site (again!), I know some of you are probably saying- "How could get it any better, this page pwnzors!" or "Can't leave a perfectly uber site alone?" and then there is the classic "Pfft I've only seen his site once, and I've seen better!" Well all three of those reasons are why I'm doing it! (especially the last one...) I'm almost ready to take my page to a new level (think Goku finally reaching SS3 or something). If I'm going to start attracting more people by word of mouth like I've started to do, then I'm going to have to up the ante, if you will. Anyway, I know this was a long post. To those of you who are excited now, I will NOT let you down. To those who were, or have become, bored, rest assured, your in for a surprise! Like this -

   Busy Busy!

I was very busy yesterday. I made a crap load of buttons (check my intro). I've also been helping Demon King GT set up his site (click the button above, it's pretty sweet.) Made the navigation buttons for him. All in all, a very busy day, hopefully, I can get to work on tweaking my own page pretty soon!

   Animation and HTML FTW (For the Win)!

If you are all wondering about the many upgrades that have been going into my site over the last couple of days, I have 3 answers: Imagination, Animation software, and HTML. As I mention briefly before, I have been delving a bit into HTML(once again, props to ILuvKyoKun.) Through HTML codes, I've been able to bring you my music, music videos, pictures and my pretty cool looking post boxes (like the one your looking at now!) From hex colors to tables, html code functionality, especially for an otaku page, is only limited by your imagination and knowledge of the different codes. There are TONS of resources and quick guides to HTML that can be googled or even found here (there are some quick guides and a lot of the people on my friend's list are quite adept at html) If you're looking to make your otaku, or any other site you might have, unique, then knowledge of html is an invaluable asset. On to animation. As you can see, both my button and my avi are now animated (My intro gif has always been animated I was lucky enough to find it that way). Some of you might recognize my avi from the level up/victory dance from Mario and Luigi: Super Star Saga. There are a lot of premade animated gifs or sprites that can be googled. But if you're looking to make your own like I did, there are some good sprite sites (Spriters Resource is a good one) where you can get a whole page of sprites. Just about all of these sheets have the sprites in order to make animation with them. All you need is a little inspiration mixed with imagination, a decent animation program (I use Babarosa Gif Animator) and paint (or Photoshop if you want to get fancy). PM me if you have any questions on anything.

Button Update!

I know a lot of people are sleeping now, especially the more east you get, but I just wanted to quickly post my new button update. I'm going to keep both in my intro so you can pick which one you want. I hope you enjoy them, I put a good amount of work into both. Here's the new one:

Hey all, hope your Saturday is goin well. I've been working on a new picture for myself- not drastically different but it rocks nonetheless! Here is is: Now I DARE someone to tell me that doesn't pwn all!

   Wow.

I slept until 1:35 (about 7 mins ago lol). It's saturday, so it doesn't matter much, but I feel like I wasted half my day sleeping. I guess I REALLY needed it though.

Page Update!

I've updated some of my page, I'm hoping to make it more appealing. Thanks go out to ILuvKyoKun for helping me. I've also finally made a button, I know I've put a permanent up in my intro but I like it so as part of the update I'm going to put it here too.
