tvinjapan.com is live!
This is awesome. Pay attention.
Okay everyone, I’m officially declaring tvinjapan.com open for business.
I’m going to keep double posting over at the blogspot address for a while just to make sure that everyone knows what’s happening (and I’m not convinced that the Yahoo servers are doing exactly what I need).
Why am I moving you might ask? And what am I (that’s you) going to get out of the deal?
Well, mostly I’m moving because I was sick of not having any sort of category system for people to dip into my archives. After all, I’ve posted over 350 different videos on this site and most of them get buried real deep real fast just because I like to post so much.
Blogger’s been great (especially for a noob like me) but new digs are needed.
Many of you may never have seen some of my best stuff so I hope you can dip deeper into the amazing amount of Japanese TV now available at your fingertips.
Check out the categories (down below, on the right sidebar) on the new site and you’ll be able to see all of the posts nicely sorted. Once in a certain category, click on the post to take you to the video.
As of right now, I can’t figure out how to have the categories open up to just have the embedded videos. Hopefully some WP genius out there can help me with that.
As far as design goes, I’ve used the 3k2 template with some help from the Swachuk theme. Oh and big props again to Luis Hurtado for the logo. Cafe Press store (and shirts) to come if you’re interested.
Oh, one small, kinda crappy thing. Actually two crappy things.
1. I imported most of the blogger posts/comments about three weeks ago. And since then I’ve been double posting here. Unfortunately, that means there’s no comments on the new site for the past three weeks. Kinda crappy.
2. See how there’s 170 Uncategorized posts on the site? That’s because I’ve only been able to go back about 200 posts so far to add categories and the YouTube/Google Video code which mysteriously doesn’t come over with the import tool. I’ll be updating these over the next month or so and should at some point have an entire library of these clips.
Well, that’s about it. Hope you enjoy the new site and that you keep reading/watching TV in Japan.

you can modify category.php to use the_content(); instead of the_excerpt();
