May 26, 2002- ANIMENORTH IS JUST OVER!!! n ive only been able to put up the picture at the top of this page. It seems tht we forgot to take a FULL-group shot. Our group consisted of: Yuna, Tidus, Lulu, Auron, BIGASS Mog, Moogle-chick, Jecht (T's Daddy), and the Besaid Aurochs Blitzball team--Wakka, Datto, and Letty ^_~ (and there WILL be a giant Qactuar for CNAX, at the moment it is sitting in my closet half finished ;_; ) Anyway, feel free to check back anytime for photo updates. Also...anyone who has a scanned/digital photo of our full group, plzplz sendsend^^ cuz we dont hav one *loool* silly, ne?
May 22, 2002- YUP!! An update...Surprised?^^ Its been 2 months and 2 days since i last touched the site^^;; Well sweet little Eric (ELB) set up an FTP account for me so now it will be easier for me to update more frequently *tackle hugs*! Okie, so AnimeNorth2k2 is in...1.5-days and we're still not ready at ALL O_o. But i DID start a new layout for the costumes section. AND the new fanart section is finally GOOD looking ^_~; Sorry for the delay in updating! Our AnimeNorth photos will most likely be up AFTER my final examinations (End of June) Sorries!!! But i will try to put some on ASAP. See you all at AN!!!!!!! ^_^V
March 20, 2002- Biggest update of 2002 so far! Yeah...sorries, i've been slacking. BUUT! Thanks to ELB, we hav a beautiful new (and free) counter^^ Also, the old buttons got destroyed and were replaced by these plainer ones (cuz everyone was complaining that i was making the site really childish...*shrugs*). Consider this my new 'layout', cuz, let's face it, I'm WAY to lazy to create a whole new layout for this site. Besides, for this site, function and easy navigation is key.
Also, a few new sections. The first is S.M.A.? which is a badly named section with LOADS of photos, check that out, but it is still under major construction! The second new section is the Fanart section, this is where we put our fanart, and if you'd like, put up yours as well, but is under major construction! Lastly is the Contact section; here you will find a list of e-mail addresses and stuff to contact us by, incase u want to flame us or something^^;
Oh! and I realize that the link banners are all screwy, I'll fix that later tonight. For now, enjoy the revamped SMA site^^
