That's all for this week, now I'm going out to dinner.

Happy Easter everyone!!!

I wish you all a wonderful day, take care, eat a lot and have fun.
May the Easter Bunny be nice with you and bring you chocolate and candies!
Hugs!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR TAK!!!
TAKU SAN, OTANJOUBI OMEDETOU GOZAIMASU!!!

I hope you'll spend a wonderful day and maybe have a great party!
Take care, remember that we fans will love and support you always! ^.*

Last, I'd like to thank a lot Inge for donating some wonderful photo manipulations and wallpapers.
You'll find them in the Gallery, Fanarts-Made by users and Wallpapers-Made by users albums, check them out!!
Bye everyone, have a nice weekend!

Anyway, a very quick update today: I've uploaded the site with some fresh Tak images, in the Various album of the Gallery.
I've also added a new category called Fanarts, where users can add their drawings, photo manipulations, etc. about Tak.
So if you'd like to donate something entirely made by you, you're welcome: feel free to express your creative and artistic soul!

Nothing new nor important in Zero's blog, but seems Tak is having fun playing videogames!
That's all for today, have a great sunday people!
Mata ne!

Today I have some time to update the site, although there are not so many news.
You'll simply find some new Tak images in the Various album of the Gallery and a new link in the Linkage page.

By the way, I'd like to ask you something important:
- Since there are MANY bot spammers trying to register in the Gallery every day just to spam every picture, I BEG YOU to please write something about you in some of the Optional information fields too when you register.
Of course I'm not asking you to write your biography or other long infos when you join, but it would be great if for example you could simply write your birthday date or location apart from your name, so that I can easily distinguish you from spammers.
Sorry for that, but having to delete hundreds of fake users every day is driving me crazy, and if you could help me to understand quickly that you're real people instead of those damned machines I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for this!
(And of course, thanks to those people who had already wrote in some of the additional fields when registering: you made my life easier in the last days! )

About what's written in Zero's blog, there's nothing really important, even because as you may notice on February the 16th Kara (the webmaster) renewed the blog and deleted ALL of the old archives.
Anyway on the last posts it's written that the guys are fine and they're working.
Seems Tak is healthy and eating like a hungry wolf as usual, as yesterday for dinner he ate 23 servings of sushi and a pudding as a dessert.
Man, thanks god he practices martial arts every day... otherwise as he manages to be so athletic would be a real mystery!

That's all for today, but I'll update again soon (luckily with some more interesting news).
Now I'm going to the seaside with my boyfriend, just for a walk... and tonight we'll eat mexican food, awesome! ^_^
I wish you all a great sunday, bye!

Besides I've changed the left menu: now it's neater and much shorter than before, so it's faster to load and easier to navigate.
Plus I've changed the colours of the Tag-Board, added the great Google Search, 2 useful banners and the Donation button.
I've also added a very basic but nice poll script in the Home page menu, light and fast.
Every person can vote once but I'll change the poll question every 2 months or so (next one will probably be about Tak movies), so hurry up voting!!

Last thing about the News: now only the last 2 entries are displayed, but you'll find the old ones clicking on the Previous page link at the end of the news.
That's all for today, bye everyone!

This is the first update of the new year, so it might be considered pretty special.
First of all I'd like to say I'm so glad you liked the new layout!
I've put a lot of effort into it, so I've been really happy to read your compliments.
You're the best, thanks for your constant support. ^.*

And here are the news of today:

• Added many new codes of different sizes in the Fanlisting.
• Added a new Search form at the end of the Home page and of the Fanlisting. So it'll be much easier to do a research in this site or in Google.
• Added 3 super cute Tak pics in the Gallery.
• Updated the Filmography page: I checked all the movie official sites url and replaced the broken links with the new ones.
• Fixed some bugs and validated the site for XHTML, so now it's even more accessible and viewable with all browsers.
• Updated the Trailers page: I replaced the broken links with the new ones (mainly from YouTube) and you'll find some new trailers too.
• Updated the Linkage page.
• Updated the Multimedia page.
• Updated the Faq page, if you have any question or doubt about the site remember to check it out. My rules have changed and they're not so strict anymore, but the point is: if you want to use some of my images, animations, wallpapers, icons, etc, it's ok. Just email me to notify and provide a visible link crediting this site (or the respective owner site, in case of goodies donated by fans). Thank you for your understanding.
• Due to the recent large amount of spam I had to change something in the Gallery. Everything is the same as usual except that now only Registered users can post comments, while Guests can simply rate images. Besides, if you register you have to wait for my approval before becoming real users. I'm sorry about this, but the Gallery was full of obscene/commercial comments posted by many spam bots that had even registered! Actually this is the only way to fix the spam problem, but hopefully the new Coppermine release will have a Captcha too (aka an image verification as the one you can see in the News comments).

That's all about Tak fansite.
Recently I've been restyling and updating my complete domain because tomorrow I'll begin to study as hard as I can, and since I'll have my exams at the end of January I probably won't be able to update until the beginning / half of February.
Please be patient, this last year of University is a real nightmare for me! -_-
Anyway I'll check the site every week-end and the email almost every day, so that I'll be ready to approve you to the Gallery or to the Fanlisting in case you'd like to join.
Sometimes I'll also post a message in the Tag-Board or reply to your posts in the Guestbook, so don't worry.

And last, since it's been a very tiring job for me, check out my new graphics if you want!
Here they are:

• Collective ---> Layout made with 2 photos of my journey in Japan on Autumn 2007.
• Fanlistings collective ---> Layout featuring Blade Runner, one of my favourite movies ever!
• Various fanlistings ---> In this page you'll find the links to my 14 fanlistings. By the way I've also restyled the Ryuhei Kitamura fanlisting, finally!

Right, I'm going to rest beause lately I've spent too many hours at the pc.

I wish you a nice day and a great new year, may it be full of luck and happiness!

See you next month, take care!

I hope you'll like the new graphic and you'll appreciate the news, like the quick menu on top or the News in the home, etc.
I also inserted Google AdSense on the left menu, as almost every fansite and blog uses them now.
They often provides interesting related ads and help us webmaster to earn some money from our sites, without annoying pop-ups or horrible sponsor banners.
Every page has been updated and you'll also find some new Tak images in the Various album of the Gallery (with a better header and a brand new nice bamboo background), check them out.

This is my Christmas present for all of you... now I can finally go to bed and sleep for an entire day.
I'll update again next month, jaa ne!

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I've moved all images files (wallpapers, animations and LJ icons) in the new Gallery, so everything is stored there.
Donated files are in the Made by users folders and donors have been already added to the new database, so their name is shown below their files.
From now on if you want to donate a wallpaper, an animation, an icon, an image, etc. you can do it by yourself in a few minutes, much better and more interactive!
Just register in the Gallery (it's free, fast and secure) and upload the files into the allowed albums. After my approvation, your files will be shown in the respective album and your name will be linked below them.
However, if you'd like to donate simple Tak images or movie screencaps, first of all make sure that the same images aren't already in the Gallery, aren't too similar to some others or aren't too big and heavy, otherwise I won't accept them.
Sorry but my web space isn't unlimited, so I can't allow users to update freely every image they want.
If you don't want to donate any files and you simply want to see the Gallery as a guest, remember that you can rate images anytime.

I hope you'll appreciate the new site system as it took me a lot of time and work, let me know your opinions about it.
Soon I'll also do a complete graphic restyling, because I'd like a clearer, more readable and more professional layout.
I think I'll probably renew it during Christmas holidays, hold on ultil then!

By the way, the photos of my last journey in Japan are finally online!
You'll find all of them in my Photobucket album.
I've divided them in 3 sub-albums (1-Tokyo, 2-Niigata, 3-Kyoto), the links are in the left top menu.
I've also updated my MySpace profile with new infos, new pictures and a nice Christmas layout.
And if you want to see some videos of my beloved hammie (I know, I sound like a mother! XD) here is my YouTube channel.

Bye bye!
