Hey! It's been a month since Anime Nano was launched, so I thought I'd commemorate the occasion by uh, writing about it. I've added a few things to Anime Nano since I last wrote about it, so here we go:

Just in case you'd like to help support the 'Nano financially, there's an affiliate shopping link list. If you shop at the places listed there (using the links provided), Anime Nano will get a small cut. I don't really expect to get very much from it, but if I do, it could mean server upgrades and stuff (yeah!). If you shop regularly at another online store and would like to see it added to the list, please let me know and I'll try to get a link put up. Thanks to everyone who has used this so far!

I just added a new user option that lets you specify your time zone. So if you're in Russia and you're tired of seeing time presented to you in California time, this feature is for you! Just go to the user control panel -> edit options. I've tested this with my own time zone and it appears to work...

Since the last time I wrote, quite a few of my most wanted blogs have joined. Samazama briefly came out of retirement to join, as did Equivocal Resolution! Thanks gals, it means a lot! Just don't disappear on me again, alright? Heisei Democracy also joined, adding sweet news directly from the heart of Japan itself!

New features-wise, I'm kinda running out of ideas. I wanted to try and implement some kind of anime database thing for each series. Kind of like animenfo or anidb. Would anyone want something like this?

Overall, I'm very pleased with how the community has responded to Anime Nano. Please continue to contribute to discussions in the forums and the irc channel. Thanks for all of the support this past month, and in the future!

It's been a month already? Time really flies. <3 @ Ano

Series info, I'm all for that. Animenano is quickly becoming a one-stop shop for me. It's just like Walmart but Hung gets paid less!

Well, the anime database is not a bad idea, but I think it's best left to the established ones, since I think it's quite redundant. 

I would suggest altenative skins for AnimeNano. To be honest, I don't really like the current skin... I guess I got too used to Blogsuki's simple one line white background and I'd prefer something like that :P. 

Anime Nano rocks!

But i agree- they should change the skin.

Talk all day about anime...let's go!

Yeah I find the skin as pretty as Madarame. I suggest a light background.

Yeah, I figured the database thing would be kinda redundant (and a pain to code).

I've said it before: I like the design (I did it, after all). If you don't, instead of complaining, take a look at the css. If you want to make your own skin, I'd be all for that. Send me the new css/images and I'll implement a skinning thing for it. 

Hmm I dunno how it'd be done, but what about a series rankings kinda thing? Where registered members can go rate active series. I guess kinda like the ANN thing but with less suck, and possibly be able to list the top 10 for a quick glance at what's hot..

I dunno, just thinking out loud here.

Being around here for a few months after the inception of Anime nano, I'm not very familiar with everyone around here.

But I like to wish Anime Nano a "Happy Monthsary"!  :)

Congratulations, AnimeNano! Happy Monthiversary!!!

Happy Monthiversary! What's wrong with the skin? Black and lime/lemon is cool. =)

I think hung's put some effort into this, so give him a break, guys. ^^ But the choose your own skin idea is cool.

Congrats Hung, you're doing a great job, thanks so much for keeping this great site up and running!

Happy Monthiversary, Anime Nano!!!

Well, better late than never.  ^_^;

And about the skin, I'm used to it now.  Let's give credit to Hung for his efforts!  Thanks Hung!

Congratulations! -- a little late.  This site has come further faster than any anime site I've seen.  Awesome work!
