December 2007

Last night, I finally got around to signing up for RightStuf’s affiliate program and retroactively inserted links into posts from the past three months. I also submitted something to AnimeNation’s similar program but I haven’t gotten a reply from them yet – I also think I need to include a banner graphic as my link so I’m currently preferring the simpler method of linking to the TRSI listing. So don’t be surprised if I attempt a weekly “this week in releases” segment in the near future and I’ll try not to be a total sellout.

Also: I have begun to grow tired of my current, year-old design, especially since I started using a widescreen monitor. Currently my blog is 800 pixels wide with the sidebar taking up about 230 pixels of that space. I’m tentatively interested in fluid width so it’d fill up the screen but I would definitely like a main base width of 950-1000px including one right column. (I’m also thinking of making some header banners that use “Nigorimasen!” for this new look.) I think both a left and right column would make the actual posts in the middle seem “crunched” and two side columns don’t seem too necessary but I’m not ruling them out. Unfortunately I don’t have a good idea of what kind of color scheme I’d want so I suppose I’ll try out a bunch using Kabitzin’s experimentation method and hopefully develop something over the next couple months I will be satisfied with well into 2009.
