New Pet Tricks: HTML

by Nyanki @10:19 pm EST  /  Category: Internet

What does this Kougra and HTML learning have in common? You can find both on Neopets’ website!

In this age where we rely on and use computers daily, HTML is a handy thing to know. You can design your own webpages, or at least spruce up that simple MySpace.

Sure, there’s many more complex things out there for webpages, such as PHP and Javascript, but that’s not the place to start.

One thing that helped me greatly with learning HTML was Neopets. Yes, that online game where you take care of pets, that eventually made card games and toys. On their site, there is an option to make a webpage for each one of your pets.

With little kids being the target audience, they would have to make editing the page simple, right? That’s why they made the Neopets HTML Guide.

Those familiar with forums (like TN :D ) may find the coding a bit similar to BBcode, which is what those tend to use. BBcode is basically a simplified version of HTML that lets forums only allow certain coding, as well as being much more simple.

Anyway, take a look in the guide and sign up. Experiment on your Neopet’s page. Go ahead and post a link to the page so I can check it out. :)

More on the Moon

Here is my continuation of my previous article. If you haven’t read that, go read it! :lol:

When I finally got to get my hands on working on my websites, I had already knew what to do. Why? This was because I had already had some experience in using cPanel, as well as with using an FTP client.

Perhaps I’ll make website-making guides in the future. Yeah, I think I will :^^:

Anyway, with the experience there, it was all a matter of uploading stuff. I could figure it out pretty easily.

Although, there were things I did not understand, I figured them out by looking the issue up on Google, or better yet, searching the Lunarpages’ forums. I don’t think I’ve had a case where someone hadn’t already asked the problem I had. Which is totally great because then you already have the answer.

Over the Moon in Quality

by Nyanki @2:57 pm EST  /  Category: Internet

I’m sure you noticed that ad I put over on the navigation. Unless you started reading this first, then, well, now you know. xD What’s up with that? Well, Lunarpages is the webhost I have been using since April of ‘07, so almost 3 years.


Lunarpages.com Web Hosting

This was the other banner I had considered using, but I liked the look of the rectangular one better. It just seemed nicer, even if it doesn’t take up the whole block of red.

Anyway, I would like to share my experiences with Lunarpages. I recommend it to anyone with some web experience and who wants a great host. Although, who would want a bad one anyway? :lol:

A Japanese Classic

by Nyanki @12:52 am EST  /  Category: Movies

I’ve been totally busy with my studies. It’s that finals time of year. But it’s almost over.

Anyway, I decided to talk about a movie I had watched a couple weeks back. For extra credit in my Japanese class, we had to watch a Japanese movie. Just about everyone had told our sensei that their choice was Seven Samurai. Originally, I was going to pick that one, but with everyone else deciding to do so as well, I decided to go a different route.

Unsure of what to pick with my choice out the window now, I asked the instructor if he had any recommendations. He told me to look into Yasujiro’s old movies. He listed off some titles to me, but only two were able to stick into my head. Something about the seasons.

I looked into it and found that the two movies I had vaguely remembered were Yasujiro’s Late Spring and Early Summer, both of which were old, old, old movies. I’m talking black and white. No, not the silent piano-music films. But you get the idea.

Outside of the first and last ten minutes of The Wizard of Oz, many people nowadays haven’t seen a black and white film. And I’m pretty sure at the mention of one, their mind categorizes it as “dull” or “boring.”

Not true, my friends.

I found out that the two movies I had remembered were both from the same trilogy, with Late Spring being the first. So, I figured that it would be the right movie for me.

After finally managing to get a hold of the movie, I watched it. It was great.
