updates


So, I’ve finally decided to segment my online blogging life and this blog has been more or less split in two!

milkypink.net will continue to exist as a personal blogging space for talking about random things.

miuofstars.net will take over Japan-related subjects, such as dolls, figures, games, manga, and anime. in addition, I’m making an effort to maintain it as a bilingual blog. I’m nowhere near fluent in Japanese, but practice has to happen somehow, right? XD; I’ll probably also post things from my upcoming trip to Japan there, as well. I haven’t yet decided whether I’ll copy over entries from tokyo-shoujo.net yet or not. I may well repost the 2008 trip reports on mos.net with photos included, though XD;

I’ve already copied over the relevant posts from here to there, but I won’t remove them from this blog (although I may link them later, not sure).

Sorry if this split makes things more annoying for anyone – I figure there are people who want to read about specific subject-related stuff and skip all the personal junk XD; everyone is still welcome to follow this blog, I’ll continue to post non-Japan reviews and maintain my 365photo task here so it won’t be completely neglected!

I’m still moving entries from the old format to wordpress.

I’m doing this by hand.

Why?

Well, for one, it’s not a quick-snap import process because habari’s not even 1.0 yet so of course wordpress won’t support importing from such a new format.

For another… I’m doing a lot of meta-tweaking (tags, categories, editing old entries with updated info) that I think, in the long run, will be better for the blog. It also lets me see that I have a disproportional amount of random “personal” type entries which is maybe boring for casual readers who don’t know me (^ ^;;; )

I’ve gotten through all of 2009 now, back to post #74. There may or may not be 74 posts left to transfer since if I delete posts the id numbers don’t change. Certainly by Monday all the archives should be back online.
