Doing a complete rework of this site soon!

Dear All (if there are any readers still left after my almost complete absence)

I have decided to do a rather heavy rework of this site and restart it with a somewhat better focus…

I need to update the Wordpress of the site (I’m running 2.1.3 here for God’s sake!) and also redesign the layout, because I’m awfully tired of it (and also, it’s always been a bit of a slow performer due to lots of graphics and bad HTML)

So, in a few days the site will be down a bit and/or unresponsive and/or just simply looking strange (depending on what order I do things)

    Update to v2.9.1 worked fine.

    However, I have been using a 3rd party software (UTW) for tag handling, so there are no tags visible at all for any posts… Anyone if there is some kind of converter software I could use? (Maybe I need to look at the UTW code for this)

    Hmm.. Managed to import the tags – now all thats left is to redo the source so it shows them instead of trying to show the UTW ones…

    Hey Johan!

    I’m trying to gather fellow J-blogger contact info, and can’t find yours. E-mail me? Thanks!

    Found you today via Google; will be checking out the archives — initial impression very favorable. Nostalgic for Japan after 26-year absence.

    OMG… Terribly sorry – I thought I was going to manage to fix this during January – but no such luck.

    New design is BASICALLY ready, just need some finishing polishes!!

    OK folks – we’re getting closer. I was gonna do some finishing touches on the design, when I saw that it looks actually quite OK. Need some final adjustments, but that I can do after I launch.

    Right now I’m preparing the first post – so within a few days, hopefully, we’ll be up and running with the new layout.
