I apologize for the lack of updates recently. My studies have been a total beast lately, sucking the very life out of me. I've been thinking and thinking, and, unfortunately, I've decided to retire from
Yuna Ito ONLINE. Sorry for the shocking news. I hate to read this type of stuff on other sites, so I especially hate writing this entry!
I've really enjoyed site managing
Yuna Ito ONLINE for the 17 mos I've been here, and I am grateful that
Mara gave me this opportunity. However, the career study that I've chosen has become increasingly demanding. Although I'm actually surprised I lasted this long, I really wished to hold it out for at least 1 more year. I've realized that I need more time not only for my studies, but also for my loved ones and
myself. I guess you could say that I saw this coming since I always tend to spread myself out so thin.
That said,
Yuna Ito ONLINE is hiring a new webmaster/webmistress! I was in the middle of a site revamp with the new WordPress template, so there's LOTS of work that needs to be done! Here are the qualifications I'm looking for:
- Comfortable working with the WordPress blog interface (Yes, we'll be using the winning banner from the contest!)
- Knowledgeable with the basics of HTML and CSS, at the very least. Scripting experience is not necessary but helpful.
- Able to read & understand Japanese. However, if you are able to make sense of online translations, I'll let it slide (since that's how I've been running the site all along
)! A test passage will be given for you to translate.
- Last, but certainly not least, be a passionate Yuna Ito fan!
- Submit your application consisting of a BRIEF description of yourself and your qualifications to harunoyukino[@]gmail[.]com.
- Deadline: 1/30 @ 11:59 EST
Although I am officially retiring from the spotlight, I will be working in the background to make sure that the site transition is successful. I will also act as the standby tech should any of the future staff need assistance, and I will continue to watch over the forum for as long as I can. No promises, though! But, if that time should come for me to resign from there as well, I will be sure to find a suitable replacement...
So, until January 30th, please refer to the forum for the latest on our J-Pop princess! Thank you for continuing to make us your #1 (English) source for Yuna Ito! I look forward to receiving your applications.
Show 'em whatcha got, Yuna!!!
