Guest Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Thinking of using something like this https://store.wordpress.com/premium-upgrades/pro-bundle/ It comes with a premium themes (v. expensive), so I don't have to use one of the free palettes which are. really crap. really lackluster (Actually their premium themes are also pretty crap) you can buy the domain name, supposedly it can turn into a http://visualnovelaer.org (not sure if i want that) This one is okay, http://demo.thethemefoundry.com/shelf-theme/ wonder what happens to posts that are too tall? And it will keep fuwanovel.net fast because i dont have to share bandwidth (altho fuwanovel's bandwidth is not even 10% used) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that as long as your blog is pleasant enough to read (like yours actually), the quality of the content matter much more. In my opinion you should save this money and use it for something that could improve things much more than what this premium bundle could do. Maybe for example pay an artist to design a logo, or simply save it for when a great idea strikes your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Aaeru -- I've built several wordpress blogs (hosted on wordpress and by itself) and have used TONS of different themes. There are lots of options. Check out http://themeforest.net/ and look for a PM from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbird Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 It's does really good, can't tell myself what to do with wordpress so I'm also using a free templates as well. Aaeru -- I've built several wordpress blogs (hosted on wordpress and by itself) and have used TONS of different themes. There are lots of options. Check out http://themeforest.net/ and look for a PM from me. Premium templates sure looks good but I don't really know much about webhosting etcs but doesn't there exist a webhosting that support wordpress. Sorry, it just a guess thought. Aaeru your blog does look simple, but isn't that fine enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Decided going to go with a wordpress.org template most likely. have to move this whole thing onto my server, Tay might help me out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REtransInternational Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 the quality of the content matter much moreThis. Your blog readers are presumably there to primarily read what you post. If you're hosting it yourself then you have a lot more options with what you can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolverk Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 This. Your blog readers are presumably there to primarily read what you post. True, I like it as it it. Easy to navigate and read. But improving it may draw in more people, if she wants to it, I don't see a reason why not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Well, this isn't good... "visualnovelaer.wordpress.com is no longer available. This blog has been archived or suspended for a violation of our Terms of Service." What a terrible Christmas gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 what the hell? I would like to know what was the claim if it isn't secret. I know aaeru didn't share any copyrighted content there and talking about copyright being sh*t should fall under free speech... And if someone reported it for pornographic content then all the images were safe as well. Guess people just gonna hate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibrate Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 You should really be hosting your own anyway. blog.fuwanovel.net or something. WordPress is trivial to set up. Aren't you a graphic design student? Make your own theme. It's really just a case of changing some CSS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 We're working on this. Been going back and forth with wordpress for a while. Stay tuned for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibrate Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Is Aaeru dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcosis Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 It seems so. Honestly, I knew this will happen sooner or later and either they will take it down, or someone full of jaundice will report it to them; I'm not even sure why the site was hosted at Wordpress.com - it's the worst possible idea to get mixed up in grey zone stuff and hope that guys from Automattic will turn a blind eye on it, while it was clearly violating their TOS. If you want to keep such a site, it's best to host it privately. I already reported this to Aaeru. I hope she has a backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolverk Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 The backup shouldn't be a problem. Donno where she is though. Moving the Blog to this site or somewhere else should be for the better, I agree. Anyway, let's just wait and let the events unfold for now.

Tay Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 We'll be migrating to visualnovelaer.com, and the issue was that the blog started getting a LOT of traffic and thus attracted the attention of moderators. To my knowledge, this wasn't an act of ill-will or reporting, but internal wordpress TOS-checking. And Aaeru isn't dead : ). I think we'll hear from her soon enough.

Good to hear~ *And the mission to spread the wonders of VNs and fight against the forces of unrighteous governing information freedom control policies continues...* Any reason why she's MIA so long?

Sakimichi Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I was getting worried that the blog suddenly disappeared I'm excited for the upgrade though, I hope you pick a theme thats light and loads fasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaeru has made significant progress in spreading the word about VNs, and this is just one of the small growing pains part of that process. Getting that attention from the opposition means success, not failure. Thus this is a recognition of the first major step, and a signal to prepare for what lies ahead. Look towards the future and congratulate yourself! Well done, Aaeru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 hm I hope you can leave redirect on the old page though, because I sent the blog to few random people and they will probably not know about the transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meru Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Just read through this thread, and it answers a lot of questions I had ^_~ It's great the blog will have its own domain. Really looking forward to seeing it & hearing from Aaeru again~ If true, then that would be cause for celebration and not despair.

harry_kinomoto Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 This is the first I have heard of the blog going offline! How.....interesting~ I've been away for yoinks (busy prepping for exams etc) so I don't really know what's going on.... but I'm getting its all just as planned with Tay, who CLEARLY seems to know something but remains doggedly silent about the specifics. No doubt he fears to do otherwise will threaten his nefarious schemes for world domination, ultimate intelligence, infinite amounts of pie, and goodness knows what else.... Eh well, I suppose all we can do is wait~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 We'll be migrating to visualnovelaer.com Great news. I hope this comes to fruition, but sailing a ship without its captain is problematic. Have you heard from her, Tay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'm sad to say that it's complicated. In any event, we all need to be sending Aaeru, Ryoji and several others in our community our best thoughts, encouragements and prayers. They've each had a hard few weeks, and I know they appreciate the friendship that has been shown by this community. I appreciate and echo the feelings ilegend expressed elsewhere on the forum in these words, Hope that you'll get well and join us back soon~ I've been missing every missing forum member these days...

REtransInternational Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Also thanks to Tay for "keeping the lights on" in the meantime. Hope all gets sorted out eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
