Mizuki Nana’s first English fansite?

Woot?!

Before anyone complaining why the layout is so ugly, this is only a dummy version I made (thanks ron~ for free bandwidth), while waiting for the actual domain name which is coming next week. So I swear it won’t look this rubbish later.

And before complaints on the n00b Nana banner; I was sick of looking at the default banner, especially after refreshing it countless times. So I thought, having Nana cheering on me would be good.

Anyway, I’ve been toying with the idea of setting up a Nana fansite since God knows when, but I was lazy and end up rewatching Nana stuffs afraid I’d screw it up and chose to fix her wiki instead. However, after reading j1m0ne’s post, somehow I got an urge to really do it. I mean, being a compsci student and a so-called fan(atic), I am obliged to make a decent fansite. And now that I’m a NEET not working anymore, I should dedicate more time to worship Nana seriously.

Profile page

My purpose on this horrid beta version is to learn how to use Joomla. I decided to use CMS since I’m planning to link each song to its CD/DVD, give lyrics for all of them, and review whatever I have (hopefully I won’t give up soon ^^; ). And I’ve learned PHP and MySQL before, so I thought Joomla would be a piece of cake… but it wasn’t the case. The control panel was quite confusing, at some point I thought it could be faster if I develop my own codes. >_>

Here’s the site map I’ve created so far:

• Home (will contain Nana news and site updates)
  • Goods on sale
  • Current anime
• Profile
• Discography (will put scans and tracklisting, and maybe review)
  • Singles
  • Albums
  • DVD
  • Others (character songs, etc)
• Works
  • TV Anime
  • OVA
  • Movie Anime
  • Games
  • Drama CD
• Gallery (anyone willing to donate pics, please do)
• Links

Still not sure how to put an image in the side-bar

Works >> TV Anime page… lame.

Still have long, long, long way to go.. but I’m not constraining myself with time–I will procrastinate more if I do. Maybe I can finish this in few months though. Depends.

Anyway, feel free to give me ideas, what to add, etc.. I’m off to study for my exam now. >_>
