*throw confetti*
I've been working on my doujinshi scanlation website, working at a fast food restaurant and watching NCIS in order with my family.
How about you?

Oh!
I've been going to a Japanese Language school and have been living life.
I've also been watching T.V more often. I think I'm going to be needing glasses real soon. sweatdrop
How are you fellow humans?

@Mistina Huh, are you hand coding, using a WYSIWYG editor, or using a template? *loves web design* @わきのした What kind of Japanese Language school? I've been reading Japanese novels, learning new Japanese words and playing Bokura no Fantasia AKA Bo-Fan, I'd kind of forgotten about my Mixi (Japan's largest social network, or it was until Twitter became larger than it about a month ago. It's pretty Facebook-like, from the little I know of Facebook, but everyone uses fake names, so they don't have to worry about privacy, which is nice) account, I logged in and found out that they added apps. smile I guess they're copying Facebook, even though Facebook's a huge failure in Japan, because they don't want to lose to Twitter. Anyway, Bo-fan's pretty cool. It's like zOMG in that it feels more like a download RPG than a BBG RPG, but the graphics are more 2-D which I like. It's too bad it only works in Mixi.

Bokusenou @わきのした What kind of Japanese Language school? *also loves web design* *** I thought I'd quickly mention this now - our main forum has no limits to what you post here. Off-topic, or not! We recommend that if you want to start something like a role play, that you post that in our Role Play forum. . . however, all Off-Topic threads belong in the main forum. (Our version of Gaia's Chatterbox, LOL.) So post threads to your heart's content everyone~ ;D I've been reading some Japanese books as well~ . . . . Some old kids' books Miu's younger brother gave me. D;
NEVERTHELESS; they're really helpful and I'm working through each one with a dictionary and a notebook.
One thing I noticed, however, is that all the stories in them are very, VERY depressing !!
One is about a man that rides a turtle down to Japan-version-Atlantis, parties with the princess for 100 years,
gets booted out with a good-bye present, opens it ashore--and becomes an old man after realizing all his friends had died.
DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN ?? D;

@ Haruyoi I only took Japanese 101 in high school. crying Also, I need glasses too! I just haven't gotten around to booking an appointment with the optometrist. ^^;; @ Bokunesou I'm using dreamweaver. I can't code to save my life so I'm starting the site and having my friend finish it for me. OCDPurple ParadiseThese are what I have started. I've given up on divs. I can't figure them out. I have figured out iframes, but only because I was soooo in love with frames ten years ago... Frames hasn't changed very much.

Should I change the thread title then? sweatdrop Ah, the story of Urashima Tarou (or Tarou Urashima said the English way I guess)? That's a pretty well known story. It kind of reminded me of Pandora's box, the way he was told not to open the box and he did. @Mistina Yourhtmlsource.com helped me a lot when I was learning this stuff. Here's the part on divs. BTW, did you make the graphics yourself?

＠りんちゃん；； ええ？！In my version of うらしまたろう,
the princess told him to open it when he came ashore !!
and He did what she said. . . he came ashore and BAM.
T__T
Oh, and no no--it's fine. I just wanted everyone to know~
I've been thinking about changing the main-forum's name to "Chatterbox" anyways~
^the above is a deeply engaging, serious discussion on a children's novel.
Yes. I listen to "Mary-san no Hitsuji" when no one's home.
I could go pro. American Idol, here I come~ xD

Really? In the version I read, she said he should never open the box, I guess like any legend versions differ on things though. Ok, just making sure it's alright.

Well, I'm taking summer classes, seven Saturdays (From 8:45 am - 12:30 am)
You learn the culture, language, and food.
Yesterday during snack break, we made and ate onigiri and miso soup (we didn't make the soup). Then 2 Saturdays before that there was a Shinkendo demonstration. The Japanese guy from "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was there demonstrating it. This year the theme is "Samurai."
I'm really learning a lot!

I'm really learning a lot! That's great! I hope the classes aren't too light on kanji. @Everyone I guess I should mention this (not sure what thread to put it in) the guild's advertising thread is here, if once in a while you guys could check if it's on the first page and if it's not, bump it then that would be a great help. Currently Rikki and I are the only ones bumping that thread.

@ Bokusenou
Yup, I made all the graphics myself. That was my cool for my website reboot. No more using anime art, make it yourself!
And thank you very much for the link. I will check them out. In the meantime I'm going to put in iframes. iframes aren't a no-no are they? When I told my computer graphics teacher I used to code frames, he flipped. ^^;;

Some people don't like them because frames/iframes used to cause problems in search engines (somewhat fixed I think) and they're not very mobile-friendly. Personally I don't think they're that bad, but let's just say it's as unpopular as using Comic Sans, with some people.

@ Bokusenou
I used Adobe Illustrator then Adobe Photoshop.
Ah, I see. I'll have someone convert my stuff to divs later. Don't want to piss off the hardcore coders, do I? ^^

Well, my teacher hasn't taught any Kanji yet, that's only for students that attend during the fall and spring.
OH NO!! WHAT AM I DOING!?! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE OFF TOPIC!
Let's see, does anyone watch the Nick Jr. Channel in America?
