Roadmap Part 1

Following this year's roadmap, I have successfully completed a revamp for the BSSM: Sailor Moon/Sailor Chibi Moon fanlisting! A newly refreshed design is always the best feeling and sense of accomplishment, if you ask me. I'm happy with the way it turned out, even. I've also added in 75x50 and 100x50 codes that this subject needed for the longest time. I apologize about my laziness since I opened this fanlisting. Speaking of fanlisting, I couldn't help and apply to more subjects which I also got approved for. These are just a few of my favorites which to my surprise how no one applied to them in so long!

  1. MARS - One of my classic masterpiece of manga I've read back in my teen years and I must argue that this series really stood the test of time. I decided to create a subtle design than my usual layouts I make. It still turned out fantastic, if I may say so myself!
  2. Mario Kart series - From SNES, to N64, to Wii, to Switch, I played this game religiously! Mario Kart has been one of my favorite racing game and is still considered fun today. This layout was one of my most challenging design I had done as because I had to learn the rainbow CSS techniques. Additionally, this design required two images to seamlessly blend into one; thanks Aelyn for the guidance on the shadows, lighting, and movement effects! Otherwise, the characters from the background would seem out of place.

New FLs and Clique Updates

Hope everyone's having a great weekend! Over the past month, I've completed THREE new fanlistings that I got approved for.

  1. Digimon series - Anime: Series
    Digimon anime is on par with the characters/stories from the Pokémon manga. Growing up in the late 90's/early 00's the common opinion was that Pokémon had the better games while Digimon was the better show.
  2. Marmalade Boy - Anime: Series
    Although I much prefer the manga version, every character has a conclusion and it seemed popular at the time as the anime part had something like 75-79 episodes. OST is nostalgic of the 90s anime drama and I still love it.
  3. Peach Girl - Anime: Series
    I read the manga such a long time ago, but I would still like to include it as my favorite as I believe that certain series I read/watched deserves a fanlisting for it!
I've also processed more applications via Pokémon Clique. It seems that based from my past few posts about the clique, I've been lately running into problems. This one in particular is coding issues. Please make sure that your sites are not only working just for you, but for everyone else as well. I was able to locate the clique's code by viewing the applicant's source, but I was unable to scroll because the DIV had scrolling option disabled, hence any contents after the fixed height were cut off. Rules were updated again on the clique addressing coding issues.

2024 Revamp Roadmap

A second update... and it's another revamp! This layout in particular was something I've been wanting to change for the longest time, 4 years in fact. When I got approved for the Inuyasha fanlisting, I was never contented with the first layout. I've been kicking myself to change the design, time and time again, but I couldn't find the right images until now. The second skin is a big change to the old one. I pretty much worked myself to death in order to finish this project. I'm happy with the way it turned out, even! I've also given it a new title for this layout. You can still view the older design by simply switching the skins at the footer of the fanlisting itself.

Speaking of revamps, I decided to set myself a goal in completing revamps before the year ends. I will be making another revamp list next year. For now, these will be my priority and wil be done around these months, so stay tuned!

  1. BSSM: Sailor Moon/Sailor Chibi Moon (July-August)
  2. Final Fantasy X-2 (September - October)
  3. Paradise Kiss (November - December)

Pokémon Clique Revamp

This week, I've been focusing more particularly I Choose You!, the Pokémon clique. I'm happy there's a lot of Pokémon fans and also nice to see the clique is thriving! However, although there are many submissions, I'm still unfortunately rejecting a few as well. There are two common problems why applicants are rejected:

  1. Code isn't up BEFORE joining
  2. It takes forever for me to find the code based on the link-to-code given provided on their application
That said, I revamped and moved the rules when the "Join" navigation is clicked. The link to the actual join form is then placed at the bottom of the rules when the user has read and understood the rules. I've also made the bullet points larger to read. Hopefully I won't have to be rejecting more in the future.

With the rules update also comes with a new layout for the Pokémon clique! I know, I know it's another cute, pastel layout, but I can't help it! I'm not sure how this all happened, but I suppose I've been fixing an old layout that should've been changed a long time ago. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the new look!

Caelestis v2

The long-overdue layout change for Caelestis is finally here and getting on to really work on the coding was the main kick-start to actually completing this design. Before you know it, the first theme that got released about 4 years ago went by in a blink of an eye!

The main design wasn't quite the problem. I will admit though, the format is similar to the previous one and that's because I like how each section isn't identical to the other making it unique, so I kept it. With that said, I focused more on the coding aspect and converted from coding tables to DIV. Looking through the source, everything seems more organized and unkempt. In addition, many sections to the domain were revamped such as improving my English, removed dead links, reorganized a few sections, so there's still notable changes within the domain. Unfortunately, there aren't new sites released as I plan to focus more on giving old designs that have been stagnant for years with a new facelift. This is to also stay updated with HTML 5 coding so I don't lag behind with my rusty coding.

Moving on to fanlistings, I've closed a couple simply because I'm no longer interested with the subjects. There wasn't anyone via KIM that sent any interests with the subjects either. I will still, however, keep the SQL files associated with the closed subjects.
