Moeside.net Second Anniversary

“It ain’t MOE if it’s EMO!”

And it’s the second year already! Time has sure passed very quickly during the whole of last year. It’s amazing how much changes have been made and the number of new visitors that have arrived. A big thank you to all!

I started off with registering a domain back in 2006, wanting to set up a blog but had no direction back then. Started off with a lot of personal writings and emotional stuff, deciding only to change to an anime/otaku blog exactly one year ago.

Of course, I have regretted not setting any goals for myself and this site when I first started. The latest alexa ranking for moeside.net is 205,393, which has dropped from the near 130,000 back in January.

For this year however, I have decided to set a couple of goals in order not to lose track of myself and also the direction of which the blog is headed. Some goals include

    • New Theme
    • News Articles by the sidebar
    • User information sharing and participation
    • Dynamic Content
    • Additional Features (Am still thinking of them)

These few goals are probably going to keep me as busy as I can be. I’ll also be looking at some of the changes to be brought about for the direction of the site as well.

And also, hope that Moeside.net will have many more anniversaries to come by. I would like to look at a 5 or 10 years anniversary thing :p

Now, would like to ask each of you guys what do you like and what would you like to see or read about on moeside.net.

Deculture!

I was just checking Japanator a few hours back when I came across an rather interesting article.

Don’t know how many of you readers watch Macross Frontier but I certainly do enjoy that series a whole lot. With moe moe Ranka and sultry sexy Sheryl Nome (SSS lol), and of course with all the included action and mecha fighting and insert songs, who doesn’t? ^^;

But I’m not going to talk about Macross Frontier, but instead, the powerful weapon that can make even the most hardened veteran fighters drop their weapons and form moe hearts in their eyes.

This rather new phenomenon has started to appear over the internets.

Can you guess it? The clue’s in the picture ^^

I feel abit like Keitaro

…just without the harem of girls :( Keitaro failed the Todai University Entrance exam thrice.


  ^ Kanako, Keitaro’s adopted sister isn’t inside :( 

Some of you readers might have remembered, last september, I attempted my Grade 8 Practical exam, in which I failed by 10 marks (90/150, where 100 is the passing mark).

Not wanting to be dettered by that, I retook it again in March; unfortunately failing again, with a score of 95. I have decided to do a 2nd retry next year, with 3 completely new songs. Reason being the syllabus has changed which means I’ll have to play new pieces.

Also, I have been busy for the past few days – just enrolled for my Class 3 Manaual (Driving License) and been doing up some banners during my free time (Will upload them once I’m finished ^___^). That besides the point, looking through camera lens reviews. I’ll grab the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens once I’ve the money. There are also a few figurines I would like to order as well ORZ

Been also doing a small project on my own, using VB. NET and MySQL to create and manage my daily spending finances and such. I’m also really thankful for all who have gave me feedback on my previous post :)

    Nah,just kidding. Regular updates will do ^^ One thing I’m amazed about Moeside is how you can link so many posts to real life.

    2 years!!! That’s one big milestone!!! I had a couple of sites back then. Well, they were graphic sites. Max lasted for less then 2 years. I hope Koi will be a site that will last a long time.

    I say, regular updates will do for me. Also, would love to see lots more pictures!!!

    Congratulations on getting by two years. You’re bound to go through peaks and spikes in traffic so don’t sweat it. I think the content is fine as it is, just reality coming crashing in that often results in having less time being devoted to the blog (even more so now that you have NS coming up).

    Grats on two years! As for what we would like to see more here…of course it’s more MOE! But more things about Photography would be nice as well, but first MOE.

    Congrats on 2 years Windbell. Hope to see yet more good stuff from you for time to come. :)

    Happy 2 years, Windbell! I like Moeside for its strange otaku/Japanese articles, as well as the Byousoku 5 Centimeter articles (which is how I discovered your blog). I also like reading your posts about life in Singapore and anything about photography. =D

    Congrats!
    Hmm… I don’t think I have any particular suggestions in mind. Most everything you post is pretty cool. ^^

    Congrats windbell, I usually lurk here, never posting, anonymously, but congratulations on a 2 year milestone.

    Hope to see even more quirky and fun stuff from moeside in the future ^^
