Someone sent this dog to track me down.

I know I know…

I went MIA (missing in action) after my birthday post. Heck!! that post just have this sentence – “It’s my day!!!”

I got lazy and can’t come up with any idea for my blogpost…

Anyway, I just went through wordpress’ settings and did some minor changes, nothing obvious tho…

Decided to try using higher resolution photos for upcoming posts. From previously 800px width to 900px. Do let me know if something goes wrong with this update.

and, yes, 2011 Winter season anime has started, and I’m planning to do the first impression posts. Sad case that, I haven’t watch any of them. ><

Oh… Lazyness really caught me..

Found this little mail in my e-mail inbox which generated by WordPress to help me conclude how well my blog’s been.

The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:

Healthy blog!

The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.

Crunchy numbers

A helper monkey made this abstract painting, inspired by your stats.

Madison Square Garden can seat 20,000 people for a concert. This blog was viewed about 65,000 times in 2010. If it were a concert at Madison Square Garden, it would have performed about 3 times.

In 2010, there were 188 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 421 posts.

The busiest day of the year was October 2nd with 340 views. The most popular post that day was 2010 Autumn Anime Watchlist.

Where did they come from?

The top referring sites in 2010 were otaku.fm, figure.fm, en.wordpress.com, facebook.com, and dannychoo.com.

Sorry for the lack of post recently… All kinds of things happened and certainly I’m not enjoying the week…

Anyway, tonight I’ll be heading to Singapore to attend the Anime Festival Asia X.

Sad case that I couldn’t attend for Singapore CGM night that organized by DannyChoo because I’m leaving SG on Monday morning while the event at night.

Sad indeed, just hope I could meet and have some words with Danny during AFA. Stay tuned for more updates, or look out for my tweets.

By the way, the October photo post will be up after I’m back from SG.

First of all, I want to announce that JohnDiew0107.wordpress.com is no more…

Sadly we have to say goodbye to that domain because……

I just registered JohnDiew0107.com as the new domain.

Thanks to Kyle’s (Kairu90) encouragement, I took some time study about domain and web hosting. So, here’s what we have now~

JohnDiew0107 5th Anniversary

The month of August & September marks the birthday of this blog. (2 days to go~)

Why August & September?? Well… Many moons ago~~~

2005 September, I started blogging on WindowsLiveSpace. This is the starting of everything lol~.

2007 August, I created an account on WordPress… but first post was only done on October because that time I was stick to Windows Live Space.

2008 August, I turned over to WordPress. So, this is the reborn.

Anyway, I’m still thinking of any activity to celebrate it…

Link/Banner Exchange

Another thing is that, yeah y’all know about it – blogroll~~

What is Link/Banner Exchange?

Link/Banner exchange is just like name-card exchange.

But instead of name-cards, we exchange our blog/website’s link.

However, this program is not just as simple as just “link exchange” only.

Why Share?

The theory is simple, by placing each others link/banner on our sites, this means we share our readers. This is what Internet is made for – SHARING.

Sharing is Caring.

By sharing our readers, we can further promote the Japanese Pop Culture, and of course expect the growth of our fellow otaku bloggers’ sphere.

Leave a comment or email me at johndiew0107[AT]hotmail[DOT]com, if you’re interested.

Head over Link/Banner Exchange page if you want to know more.

and here’s the banners, feel free to resize it.
