Sorry for the downtime…


This was me since last night

If you tried to visit my blog during the last 16 hours, you probably noticed that the pages wouldn’t load. For the first time ever, MAY went down for a significant amount of time, mostly due to my own incompetence…

What’s in a tag?

When I first started this blog in late ’06, I didn’t even know about the concept of adding tags to posts. Did blogs even have that feature then? – perhaps they did, but I didn’t think it was important.

MAY in Round 4 of the Aniblog Tourney

I was pleasantly surprised that Mainichi Anime Yume managed to pull off a victory in Round 3 of the Aniblog Tourney by only four votes. I want to thank all those who voted for me! My match in Round 4 is underway, so I hope you’ll continue to support me. Once again, if you’re unsure about voting for MAY or not, I’ll direct you to my original tourney post, “Mainchi Anime Yume in the Aniblog Tourney,” which explains more about the kind of blog MAY is.

If you’ve made your decision, go ahead and visit the polls here. Even if I win this Round, I don’t expect to stand a chance against some of the massively popular blogs in the tourney. But I would like to see how far I can get =)

Happy voting~!

MAY in Round 3 of the Aniblog Tourney

Mainichi Anime Yume’s match has once again come up in Round 3 of the Aniblog Tourney. For those of you already familiar with MAY and feel like voting for me in this match, go ahead and visit the poll here to cast your vote. And for those who are new to MAY and are deciding whether to vote for it, I’ll direct you to my previous post, “Mainchi Anime Yume in the Aniblog Tourney,” which explains what kind of blog MAY is and the kinds of posts I write.

I managed to pull off a victory in Round 2 by just one vote. However, I know the matches will get harder from here on and I don’t expect to get much further. My victory in Round 2 is enough for me, though it would be nice to see how far I can get. But please do visit the other great blogs in the tourney and vote for the one you like best.

Happy voting~!
