Otaku News

You may have noticed a new feature that I rolled out yesterday tentatively called "News items."

I have much otaku and Japan related news that I want to share but preparing a full blog post can take time. I wanted way to bring you updates within a few clicks so that I can focus on delivering the content rather than preparing the content.
The result is what you see in the left column on the top page - you will see my news and discoveries in the otaku and Japan related genre and a bit more internet and Mac related stuff too.

I have also prepared a feed for you to subscribe to. Its even DC Rewards compatible so you can register this feed on your website *and* have the potential of making money at the same time. DC Rewards users can just stick your tag on the end of the feed like http://www.dannychoo.com/rss_fauna/eng/?DCTag=danny and if you want to link to each item then you will find that the links in the feed contain your tag like http://www.dannychoo.com/fauna_detail_rewards/
eng/10/Doki+Doki+Majo+Shinpan/?DCTag=danny.
Folks who register any of my feeds on their site will have their feed show up in the Featured Feeds section and randomly across the site. Featured Feeds is a win x win for both of us ^^+

The code base is actually from the new version of Figure.fm. Its easy to upload new content as there is only one form and an image browse field. Depending on how fast I type, I can bring you updates within 61 seconds ^^;
The next step is to enable you to upload your own images. I'm also thinking of opening an idol or eroge image board with the codebase but not sure which one I should do first.

Updates will continue as normal in the middle column.

Above: The news widget on the top page in the left column. The latest user added videos can be found in the same location under the "video" tab. Above: All news items are paginated and tabbed too. The UI is a bit messy but I was in a rush to roll out the code ^^; Will work more on the UI soon. Above: All news items are threadable so that you can reply to particular comments. Expect Figure.fm to look similar to this.
