[Affiliates] I guess nothing is forever.
I'm guilty of letting a lot of emails sit around in my inbox asking for affiliation. I realized that my original affiliates page was set up in such a cumbersome way with all the buttons and everyone just moving around with their domains all the time, there was no way I could be happy with updating it frequently. So I settled with something simpler.

• Many new links have been added. Let's see what it looks like when I list all of them out...
  
  • Exchanged Links: aenghus.com, cocoainsun.com, elven-girl.com, filigod.net, firey-heaven.net, glamdreamer.com, karenai.net, licious.org, limit-breaks.com, luminescia.net, mycurry.net, nanachi.net, oceanflare.net, revolution-tiger.org, serenity-skies.net, shinjite.net, soul-eater.org, star-song.org, subaru-kun.org, tijira.net, uchiha.org, valiantknife.org
  
  
  • Loverlies: c-minor.org, fenali.net, kachiky.net, kaeribana.net, reikou.net, shinshoku.net, shiroi-tsuki.net, thelolicorns.net, time-stranger.net, tsuyamono.net, zangetsu.org
  
  
  • No Affiliation, But Worth A Visit: auldrant.org, chocopai.net, fake-wings.net, firey.net, flora-fleur.net, get-fighted.net, hakudoushi.org, kuzuki.com, merquise.net, pacificdusk.org, peach-arrow.net, royal-hours.net, sadame.org, urbangeisha.net


• What took the longest time for me to figure out for this page was who was considered an affiliate and who was considered just a mere link exchange. However, I decided to just call everything an exchange of links since it seems that most domains make a clear line between affiliation and link exchanges. In a nutshell, "affiliation" is still open. The Loverlies category is really meant to denote that those particular people are my friends. Essentially, if we talk to each other actively on Livejournal, you're probably one of them. Unexplained extended periods of inactivity don't really help though, no matter how long we've known each other. It's like those friends gauges in the Sims.


• The family section was shortened due to some domains going MIA. They will be missed.


• For the longest time, I used buttons to link to everyone but after some people moved around and changed domains, I just couldn't be bothered with updating images. (I'm lazy, what can I say?) This link system with the different categories is much easier to update.


• There are also 6 new buttons. I got rid of one of the old ones because it seemed like no one was using it, and it was actually one of my least favorite ones. The new buttons are much nicer, I admit!

What a simple layout. I personally like it, but the color scheme of red, green, and orange is sticking to me like velcro. That's sort of a bad thing, in my case.

Future Plans: stagnated signed up for a fanlisting that I have to help on. That's definitely coming up next.
