W e l c o m e

I've finally been able to update once again, and a lot has happened in the past couple of weeks. However, I'm happy to report a small update has been made! I've graduated high school, in search of a job, and am temporarily taking a break from school. So with that said, I think you might be able to find more updates around here from time to time. ^_^

Updates:

1. Current Affiliates page has been restored, and is now in working-condition. All images have been fixed, and a new color-coded "Status Key" has been added. Any affiliate that visits should see what their status is, and Contact me if they have any problems or issues they'd like to discuss. I see a lot of affiliates who are dead and unresponsive to my e-mails, so... you're going to be taken down soon if I don't hear from you. <_<'
2. Characters page has been semi-revised up through Jaken, and is still under construction. I also added a more elaborate and "grouped" character list so that you can just click on a character's name, and it will automatically take you to that character. More characters will be added and edited at a later date.
3. Episode Reference page has been tweaked of coding bugs.
4. Movies page has been added back up with edited coding and formation. New, larger, and more clear movie cover images have been added, scanned by me personally.
5. Voice Actors page has been added back up with revised coding.
6. Rumiko Takahashi page has been added back up.

So I've been working on the site little by little, doing as much as I can, as fast as I possibly can. I still can't believe how much there is to do to make it look presentable. Sure I could just slap all the content I had before on here, but I feel like I have a personal goal and obligation to tidy up the content and coding. Some of it was just REALLY old, out-dated, and sloppy.

I've been super busy with school, as I've been stating now for what seems to be forever. But hopefully, I'll graduate soon enough and perhaps have a bit more time on my hands, who knows. Not sure how my schedule will be for college yet or what will happen exactly regarding school after graduation, but I'm just trying to take it one day at a time. I'm anxious to just finish high school already. My school is great and everything, but four years there feels like it's enough, you know? :)

Updates:

1. Spent countless hours (a full day in fact) reconstructing my Cascading Style Sheet document for the site. I really wanted to try and make IYHS viewable in all browsers equally, and now it officially has no bugs from what I see. My main headers have been fixed, and new ones have been redesigned (pink-ish sub-headers). I also re-added the neat 'blurr' effect to the CSS HTC file. A huge 'thank you' to Camille of Sesshoumaru's Castle, for helping me with some major coding issues.
2. Added the finishing touches on the Webmaster page for the MapleStory Details category, making a newly-designed table. Seems cleaner and more precise.
3. Uploaded and edited the Lantisca page. 'GMSD' stands for "Global MapleStory Details" by the way, for those who were wondering.
4. FAQ page has been updated again.
5. Worked out some kinks in the Archives of the Past Updates.
6. Awards for You page has been updated.
7. Storyline page has been revised, and is now finished.
8. Characters page has been semi-revised up to Kikyo, and is still under construction.
9. Episode Reference has been edited.
10. Final layout bugs and links have been swept out from under the rug. If there's anything else anyone sees, please don't hesitate to Contact me and let me know.

I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but this update alone has literally taken me hours upon hours of re-coding and editing page by page. I know there's still a long way to go to get the rest of my pages back up and running, but I'm doing as much as I can. I just really would rather do things right and edit what needs to be edited rather than plop it all back up online and say that I'm proud of how it looks.

On another note, I'm a bit sad to see that no one bothered to comment on the last update. Maybe no one really visits here anymore, but I guess I was hoping the efforts I've done to re-notify everyone of my new location, and let new people know of my site, would've came through. If you ever visit the site regularly or even once a week, feel free to drop in a line on the comments after you Register. I can definately say that it would really make me happy. ^_^;

::heartbeat:: OH! I'm ALIVE. Yes indeed, if you've managed to stumble upon my new location, you will see that I'm alive again once more!

Although I've moved to a new location of my own and I now have my own domain, star-shimmered.net, there are still a whole lot of pages that are currently down (main pages are up, but within those links they lead nowhere). I'm doing my best to get everything back up as soon as possible, but with school coming to a close this year (being a senior in high school), I really need to focus and get all sorts of crap in.

Here is what I've managed to get done, however:

1. My new domain, star-shimmered.net.
2. Webmaster page has been revised.
3. FAQ page has been revised.
4. Past Updates page is up and complete, minus the broken links to the archives.
5. Past Layouts page has been revised, and a description to Version 7: Phantom Illusion has been added as well.
6. Past Guestbooks page is up.
7. IYHS Board Styles page is up.
8. Credits page has been significantly revised, adding new copyright information on InuYasha AND InuYasha: The Final Act.
9. Contact page has been revised.
10. Tagboard page is up and has been replied to. (Lol)
11. Awards for You page has been revised. Old awards kept have been edited to higher standards, and the Platinum Award has been replaced entirely.
12. Awards Won page is up.
13. Gifts Received page is up.
14. Hall of Fame page has been revised.
15. Storyline page has been semi-revised, and is still under construction.
16. Episode Reference page has been revised, and will be updated with more recent episodes to InuYasha: The Final Act.
17. Credits on the actual layout have been revised appropriately.
18. Notified a few affiliates who still seem to be alive.
19. Re-installed CuteNews. People who want to comment must register.

As you can see, I've been quite the busy bee! Nothing's been done all in one day of course, seeing as how some pages alone take hours on end to edit or fix broken codes. I'm still working out all the bugs. There are even layout link codes that are broken that I'm aware of needing-to-be fixed, so it's going to take some time, no doubt.

I am happy to report however, that I've gotten back into the "mood" of InuYasha, and have recently become more inspired to do things again ever since I saw the finale episode to InuYasha: The Final Act. I thought Rumiko Takahashi did a superb job ending it the way she did. Without giving too much away, let's just say she finally wrapped things up with Naraku. >_>;

If you'd like to see the newest episodes that close off the InuYasha series properly, watch InuYasha: The Final Act on Hulu. The final episode was released not too long ago on March 28, 2010. I recommend you see all 26 episodes! Don't just watch the last one... they're all really amazing and quite detailed! Rumiko does an excellent job... and NO FILLERS! How amazing is that?! ^_^
