A new login method has been added to our blog. If you register for an account, you may notice that instead of the generic login page, we now have an easier login method However, you’ll need to sign in with your email address and username.

I’m starting to integrate the rest of the site into the navigation menu here on our WordPress Blog. Please be aware that our site content, the CMS that runs it, will remain the same. We have no plans on changing that. While I recognize the need for everyone to know where the links are, everything will be seemlessly integrated, except for the login process. Please be aware that while we have registration for the homepage/Wordpress, the Site Content and the Forums, y0u only need an account for the Blog if you wish to post a comment or submit a news item.

Forum accounts are free but you do need an account if you wish to post a message or create new topics.

While I haven’t heard any feedback except from one member who didn’t like the idea of WordPress being used as the homepage of the site, I’d like to reassure everyone that WordPress isn’t being used to replace the CMS software suites we currently use for the site. I think there’s been some confusion on this issue and I’d like to clear that up. The site content and the CMS software that is running the content portion of our site won’t change. I just wanted to be able to use WordPress to cover more information that wouldn’t other be covered with the old layout.

While it’s true that I hadn’t considered this, WordPress allows me the ability to expand the site by offering reviews of anime shows that are currently being fansubbed (we’ll be reviewing these shows but not providing links to the downloads) as well as reporting on Anime Conventions and CosPlay events. The powerful software also grants me the opportunity to also cover a larger range of news that’s currently appearing among the anime and manga online community and I hope that everyone continues to support the site.

If you would like to contribute in any way, please either post a comment to this news item or contact me through the forums. We’ll provide those volunteers with access to post any information they care to post, as it pertains to our goals.
