Sitey

Interested in the history of this site? Well, everything was a blur to me but I'll try to give you some picture of how this all started...
This site was built during the second quarter of 2000. Actually this was my first web site. Yes, I admit, my first few designs sucked - but so does everybody's first try.
Anyway, in my country, Fushigi Yuugi was popular in those days. I do hate the series (long story) but my love for Nakago was stronger. I realized that there are only a number of Nakago sites out there and most of them were against him. So, it made me take up my arms and fight for Nakago's cause. Thus, this web site was created.
It started out really small. The only links I had were: About Nakago, Background Check, Personality, Image Gallery, Memorable Quotables, Reasons To Like Nakago, Ask Nakago!, Torture Tips, A Night In The Hands Of Tomo, and the usual guestbook, chatroom, email, and forum.
I never thought this site would grow like this. I have to thank the people who contributed their thoughts and works, the sites who allowed me to use their images, those who emailed me to hang in there, and even the flamers. They are the ones who motivated me to do a good job.
The older layouts were gone together with my obsolete computer. Here are some of the past layouts which I bothered to save (sorry for their low quality)...
v5 Revised
Duration: Forgotten
Ahehehe! I'm embarassed with this one... It had a lot of nested tables so it loaded slowly. I got a lot of complaints here about accessibility. Anyway, I am now good in making tables and I'm not going to make the same mistake again.
v6 Frames
Duration: Forgotten
Launched right after the previous version. This was used side by side with v5. It was really hard to update since I had to modify the pages in no frames and frames version. Also, the Java applet for navigation was not seen by some.
v7 Simplicity
Duration: Forgotten
This was a very simple layout and it shows how good I was at making tables. I got a lot of good feedback with this one and it loaded really fast. I could have kept this layout longer but I was getting bored with it.
v8 So Blue
Duration: 090102 - 122002
Everything about this layout matched my mood when I made it. Haha! I made this while I was in between my fits of emotional outburst. Making sites is a therapy for me ;þ Anyway, I liked how it turned out but I don't want Nakago to look hurt and angry. Well, he looks gorgeous just the same.
v9 Captivating
Duration: 122002 - Present
I remember someone in the guestbook said that she liked this picture of Nakago. I'm here to make Nakago fans happy so here you go. The design concept was really not that much different from v8. This frustrates me since I can't seem to come up with new ideas. Inspiration comes to me in sporadic drops... Hope it will come back to me someday. I think I lost my touch...
There you go. I hope you enjoyed the walk down memory lane with me as much as I have. I also hope that you will be here when another memory is being made. Until next time... Ja ne!
