Hot search archive - no one is perfect

We've been working on the hot search archive trying to upgrade it.

Unfortunately while I was working on it I made a mistake and now it is a little buggy.

The new version that we are hoping to release soon will automatically archive old hot searches saving us lots of time.

It will also help us update the hot searches much more frequently.

Blonde Moment

Tori had a "blonde moment" today and accidentally pointed the "what's new?" link (on the frontpage of Nipponster.com) to Nipponster.com (THE FRONT PAGE)!!

:)


Our resident airhead...
hehehe. Tori will be hearing about that one for awhile.

Oops...

oOpS


We just received feedback from a user notifying us that the archive links for this blog were dead-links (links that lead to non-existent pages).

After beating ourselves up about about not catching the error earlier we fixed the problem.
Like we've said before, to err is human but your forgiveness is devine :)

To the user, thank you for the feedback. We really appreciate all feedback, it really helps us make Nipponster better for you.

Keep giving us your feedback!
-Tori

p.s. sorry about the previous pic. scary.

New Link on Homepage and To Err Is Human

We were all excited about posting the "Don't Link To Us" page (at the bottom of the homepage).

If you check out that page you will see graphics that you can use (or text links) on your blog or website to promote Nipponster, if you were so inclined :)

But the really useful thing I believe is the searchbox that gives your readers Japan related results.

We have mixed feelings about making this kind of promote us page because if you want to promote us you will because you find what we are doing useful or you relate to us. So we sqwabbled about it but in the end we went ahead an put it because if someone genuinely wants to promote us we want to make it easy for them.

SO,
I posted the link to the page on the main site, and we all rejoiced. And then I checked out the link today on my computer at work... (spoiler: bad news below)

I had erred and the CSS (if you're not a web nerd that is web code that defines the design of a page) was not right, so the page looked awful with big purple borders around the pictures :(

Like this:

Uggggly!

To err they say is human, but to forgive is divine

p.s. If you look at that page and it looks ugly like I mentioned send me an email and mention what brower (internet explorer, firefox, etc.) you are using, and the version of it. Thanks. You make us great!
