I've set up Google Apps for Ziedrich, now we can have custom Gmail accounts and the like. If any of our current members want a Gmail account that uses an "@ziedrich.net" email address let me know via PM with the info you want and I'll set you up. ;D

I'm still figuring most of it out, but I have the email part down pat.
http://mail.ziedrich.net

Input is welcome, since I haven't too much of an idea of what I can do with this. xD

Yaaaay!

At last @_@ This afternoon Jay and I finally got the Featured Content set up ^o^

There are 4 items, and they'll rotate every so often ^_^


Also, the manga rotation has finally made its return, and it returns with quite a catch. The featured content for April is a special chapter of Death Note!! Its a one-shot special that takes place 3 years after the original story ends, and was published in the japanese Shounen Jump in Feb of this year.

I added one new Gaming wallpaper in the Wallpaper section, as well as updated the profiles of Phoenix Wright and Kristoph Gavin in the Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney section.


Thats it for now, hopefully I'll get some more done tomorrow ^^


I have an evil mandatory fitness test of death tomorrow =X Wish me luck.

I LIVETH =O

42 signatures (by me =P) have been added to the Signatures page on the graphics section... I can't beleive I've made so many extra O_o


Because there are more pressing things, that'll be my last update in that section for awhile... we don't need as many graphics as we do content XD


My content concentration, for the moment xD, is going to be around the Phoenix Wright content, mostly Apollo Justice.

It will take me an eternity to finish out the original Phoenix Wright trilogy info, especially character profiles. Be patient with that, it's coming xD


I added Sprite Edits (again, by me :P) for Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations, and a few for Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney.

Also added a few pieces of OA to the Apollo Justice OA section, they're the Odoroki Gyakuten pieces and the B-LOGs pictures. They're awesome, check em out :D

Updated the main Apollo Justice page with the NA box art, and the official release date... that was almost 2 months ago now XD


My first order of content business is characters for Apollo Justice. Notice that page is up, and I'm doing the characters in a different format :3 So far, profiles for both Apollo Justice and Trucy Wright are up.


Its a bit past midnight, I need to get to bed =X I'm far from done with updating, and before I flee, heres a list of things to expect:


-New Wallpapers
-More PW Content (esp Apollo Justice)
-Finish uploading the Art of Gyakuten Saiban artbook (I just noticed how far I am from done XD)
-A couple of tutorials
-More Death Note content (and more content for other series too)
-Website Layouts

After I get a decent bit of PW done... I'm torn between what content I want to add.

Anywho, heres ANOTHER short list of future content coming to Ziedrich... eventually :P

Anime:
-Baccano!
-Emma

Games:
-Shin Megami Tensei series (Megaten > Final Fantasy hahaha)
-Hotel Dusk


And I want to re-add the manga rotation.... I so totally must do that D=


Goodnight ;) More updates coming after school-hell @_@

I got the hub pages all up and going today, so all the site's new browsing functions are now active. They may not be pretty, but they'll do until I can come up with a nicer design for them.

Also, all of the pages are now caught up as far as coding goes. The tables all match the layout at least. Everything should be pretty good now, more consistent than it was before. I've also cleaned some files up behind the scenes, and fixed a whole bunch of dead links in the Final Fantasy X content sections.

You'll also notice that the navigation links are revamped to go along with the hub pages. Let me know if you have any comments on the new setup, I'd really like to hear anything anyone has to say. o_o I think it looks a lot more user-friendly but that's for you, the users, to decide.

I'm likely going to cut down the Sitely links into less, if I can. They're generally not as important as the rest of the stuff so they really shouldn't have more links than anything else.

Once again, we also could use staff members. So if you'd be interested in helping us cover gaming or anime, or want to write reviews or something of the sort, get in contact either via the Staff Application or the forums.

The layout for Version 6 is now completed and online! However, I haven't finished with its functionality. Most of the links in the header will not work just yet. Right now I am finishing converting pages so that every bit of the coding is up to date, then I clean up the navigation a SERIOUS amount and then will create the new hub pages that are linked to the header.

After that I shall begin ravaging the content itself again.

I'll be keeping everyone up to date on what I'm doing here, since some of the changes might be kind of drastic. At first, before you're used to it anyway.

I just wanted to post a note here, so it appears on the main page of the site.

Ziedrich is going in for a total reconstruction. I have plans for a total revamp of the way you browse the site, in addition to some content optimization. Basically I want to clean the site up to make it easier for everyone to use as well as make it look much more professional than it currently does. Trying to build it up so it's a much more useful site.

If you're interested in reading about what we're going to be doing, watch this thread. So far I've made much better quality portraits of the characters and aeons for the Final Fantasy X section.

The Twilight's End Awards are postponed (once again) until this revamp is essentially completed. Sorry about that. xD

We're also in need of some new staff members. If you're interested in helping out with any aspect of the site just get in contact, either through the forum or through email.

I've uploaded Kefka's Super Mario Galaxy review in the Reviews section.

I am having a serious issue with my host, DreamHost.com, right now. They billed me today for nearly $400 when I'm only supposed to pay $190, AND the bill isn't supposed to even rebill until April.

I'm not sure what's going to happen, but I may have to nuke them, and in that case we may be forced to close down.

UPDATE: Looks like it will be resolved, some [word censored] ran the wrong script that billed everyone for the whole year of 2008 early so they're going to refund everyone, but I still might be out of a $35 overdraft fee thanks to the idiot.

UPDATE #2:
The money seems to be back in my account, and they're going to do something to make up for the overdraft fees. All seems like it will be put right again.

Greetings from dial-up land ^o^


I added about 43 or so of my avvys in the Avatars section (all are 100x100).


The dial-up is irritating me, so the bigger graphics I have to upload are coming soon ^^


While I'm here in dial-up land, I'll add some premade layouts ^^ When I get back, got loads of stuff to put in the gallery, information pages planned, and a few soundtracks to share ^^


My life has been crazy X_X Its been hard to find time to get any serious work done online, since I've been working my butt off offline XP

Bow down
bow down
before the power of santa,
or be crushed
be crushed
byyyyyy
his jolly boots of doom!
