New Direction

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Okay, so it’s not so new, but I’m going to revert this site back to simply including my whims of fancy rather than trying to get all woo-woo crazy with it. If woo-woo happens, it happens. But in between that, there is the other sides of life. Therefore, be prepared for a blast of random posts involving anime, books, games, and other stuff I’m involved with.

Misao Makimachi [Rurouni Kenshin] says: Yoshi!

Makimachi Misao* from Rurouni Kenshin says, “Yoooooooooshi!”
(*Misao is the given name. // Translation: All right!)

Stay tuned for more anime drool and a possible Rurouni Kenshin fan-fiction novella. Oh yeah, and when I say “possible”, it means it might get finished, or it might get forgotten for the next two years. ^^; Yeah, I’m such a moron.

MindsJourney Changes It’s Look Again

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

Yes, I know what you’re going to say. Yes, I’ve changed the core engine seemingly a million times over the years. Back and forth between WordPress and e107. Word Press’s themes were easier to customize, yet e107 had an easier backend. WordPress was so plagued by spam that I swore I would never use it again, and e107 had such poor ways of storing it’s pages and info that it drove me batty. Well, recently when working on a custom commercial website for a friend, I was brought back to dealing with WordPress. Except the WordPress version I found was some brand spanking new format that I had heard was in the works a year ago but had yet to see. So shocked, impressed, and completely lost in the new system was I that I just had to flip my own site here at MJN back over to WordPress. Not only do I have a chance to work on my own website, but I get to do it in order to learn the new WordPress system and all the awesome widgets out there that can be plugged in to make the website do a little more. After I get the hang of the insides of this new WP backend, I’ll know exactly what to do to the other site to get it looking how my friend wants. Then, there’s this awesome theme. How could I ever pass up a theme like this? Honestly now! Perhaps now that things seem to run smoother, and I have things guarded with CAPTCHA for added spam protection, maybe I’ll actually finally start using this site as originally intended!
