Care To Exchange Link?

I did some changed on the blog over last weekend. First I remove the subcategories in the left side bar and replace the categories text link with images which I intend to attract more people to click it. The images is randomly generated from the article icons in each category. I got (or copy) this idea from DannyChoo.com header.

Second, I add a recommended items section in the right side bar in hope I can earn enough money to cover my hosting fee and some extra for my figure collection. This part was not hard to code, but to add the items to database was painful and time consuming. Play-Asia provides some widgets, but I don't like it because it doesn't give the exact products I like to put in the blog. Therefore, I created one myself. I have to find an image for a product, edit the image, get the link from Play-Asia, and add to the database. Although it is really time consuming to just add one item, I couldn't think of an easier way to do it. I got (or copy) this idea from Mukyaa.

Lastly, I change all the links I have added so far into feature feeds. Before, only DannyChoo.com was displayed as feature feed, but other are text or banners which made me feel quite messy in that section; also people will less likely click the one with only text that I think kind of unfair. Therefore, now all got the feed treatment; three feeds are randomly generated in every page in the left side bar. I got (or copy) this idea from DannyChoo.com(again). You can leave a comment here if you are interested in exchange link ^^

I guess you are wondering why there has an Asuka image above? it is because I feel terrible just like her. Well, not really. I have been doing some heavy coding the whole last weekend for my homework(the blog too). Many projects due this week, and I also just found out today that I'm going to have 2 midterm exams tomorrow; I thought one of them was on Wednesday. I have to read the damn five chapters tonight >_<; Maybe all these are the causes of my stomachache right now. ~_~

Nice changes. I see my blog being on your featured feeds and I thanks you for it.

Nice coding changes and I was thinking that I should do something more regarding featured figures. However I am not into PlayAsia, probably prefer using Amazon JP but not into Japanese or coding enough to know either. And Blogger probably requires a HTML code of some sort argh.

Now you should take a well deserved rest.

james,
Thank you. I think I did ok on the tests today.

gordon,
Thank you. Well, I'm still not good at writing so just do what I can do best at the moment to improve the blog.

panther,
Thank you. I apply for Amazon affiliate program as well but the US site have less figures product. And the Japan Amazon doesn't ship figures oversea. I think you can do Anime CD since you have good knowledge of it; also you may consider writing an instruction on how to place order on Amazon Japan for your readers.

Um, there is a FAQ from a blog link I saved that already says how to buy from Amazon JP. Amazon also ships outside of Japan but not for all items.

Anime CD? Whatszat? LOL
