Ahhh... a look back at all my old versions of this site... I will try to get HTML versions up one day... See how many of these you can remember, and enjoy!
For the older volumes (8-10 and whatever), I do not indicate logo changes--I can't remember them! I used the same logo for the re-creations as I did with some of the other volumes just so I'd have something there. * The real new millennium (and century, I believe) is 2001. Everyone just started going nuts because we were hitting the 2000's and figured it was the start of the millennium (and century). I blame it on Marketing, mwahahaha! ... Ah, too much of my Dilbert desk calender ^^;; Who says you have to work to enjoy work humor?
Intro/What's
New?
:|: Volume Archives :|: Links :|: Awards |
Volume 1- March 20, 1997 was the day my site
opened. Wow, did it stink. Default background, text,
links, one big picture linked to someone else's site, a
notice that the site was "under construction,"
and a link to Karl's link list. Whooooa. This lasted one
day. The general public never saw this, thank God. Isn't
it strange how I still remember what the link and the
picture were, considering it lasted a day and it was
nearly 3 years ago? o_O
Volume 2- Well, it had a black background, a
list of updates, Jupiter's profile, and links. I don't
think there was anything else. I know that I had no
picture of any sort, h3 was a frequent text size (groans)
with h1 as the header (no logo, no idea how to make
one...), and basically... well, it stunk. Simple as that.
Volume
3- I actually
figured out how to do background colors and things, thank
goodness. The background was bright purple and the text
bright pink. I liked it, ok? ^^;;; There were two
sidebars; Princesses Uranus and Jupiter's bookmarks.
There wasn't much in the way of sections. I remember
having profiles, pictures, "Temple of Spiffy"
(remember that?), and links. If there was more, I don't
remember. I had a midi playing in the background
(cringe), I know at one point I used "Moon
Revenge." I had that cute widdle rock that stuck out
his tongue (remember him?) and a cow named Kami.
Volume 4- You know how I use that black,
starry night background a lot? I first used it here, with
yellow text. I kinda "borrowed" the starry bg
from The Temple of Uranus (I miss that site...)
The midi at this point was "Route Venus." I was
collecting names to have an Outer Senshi club, and I was
giving awards to people for having spiffy sites;
"Pages of Spiff". I had a Sailoruranus shrine.
I think I got GeoPlus around this time. It was mostly
left-aligned... I don't really remember this one well.
Volume 5- Let it be known that this layout totally
sucked. The starry thing was a sidebar, the rest
of it was white. Yuck. I had obnoxious images of each
Senshi going down the side, a midi, a scrolling
Javascript, two large images I just liked a lot... By
now, there was Silvermoon, YKYWTSTMW, reviews, and season
summaries. There was also an incomplete manga 15 summary,
a quiz, a survey, a me page, my computer art, a rings
list, feedback, a guestbook, and info on the character
Immora. I'd scrapped the "Pages of Spiff" by
now. But I would like to mention I was a bit ahead of my
time with the background; I had the sidebar thing going
before it became really popular to do... even though this
was ugly.
Volume 6- This one was blue to black shaded,
very nice but very, very simple. I had a transparent GIF
of Pluto going down the left side, which stuck around for
awhile... Buh-bye to Kami (moo!), the Sailoruranus
shrine, me, Immora, Outer Senshi club, midi, Javascript,
quiz... I put up the Outer Senshi shrine though (yay!).
It would eventually move to a different address, then
back to being a sub-index.
Volume 7- I think this is where I shoved this
one in... I briefly had a pastel/rainbow background, but
everything else was exactly the same. I think I had it a
couple of weeks, but after awhile, it was just too
strange (Pluto in her dark fuku and... bright rainbow
colors?) Plus, it was really tough to find text and link
colors that were readable. I moved Pluto to the right.
Volume 8- And this one was black to purple
shaded, still with Pluto. The sections were profiles,
season summaries, YKYWTSTMW, Silvermoon,
Immora's Outer Senshi Shrine, reviews, stuff, The Temple
of Spiffy, and links. I got rid of the pictures because
there was no point to them anymore; I never updated them.
I also briefly had the sections in a table with lavender
cells, the only change to the layout.
Volume 9- The move to Crosswinds, woo hoo. I
started shifting into layouts with tons of white. This
had an image of Eternalsailormoon on blue [note: not the
same as volume 15] as a sidebar (but it didn't touch the
margins like it should have). No changes in sections,
just in the way they were listed; I started using little
pink hearts as bullets. I changed the logo since I'd
moved to a new location... plus, the old one just didn't
go with this layout.
Volume 10- I thought this was rather nice. The
sidebar was almost correct; touched the margins, but the
text overlapped the shadow. It featured an image of each
Senshi (the same ones I use in the profiles now), plus a
rainbow-shaded border type thing. Ahhhh... just look at
it, I really can't explain it well. Now that I look back,
that logo really didn't go well with the layout...
Volume 11- I finally got the sidebar
correct. I started dividing things into
"Information," "Entertainment," etc.
The mainpage only linked to each section, however ^^;;; I
changed the logo to a funky, multicolored one. It isn't
too bad... it's okay, but it really could have been
better.
Volume
12- Never saw
the light of your monitor. This used the sidebar image
from volumes 10 and 11, but without the rainbow
separation. It was the whole background, however, and the
table on top was white with rounded corners. I was
inspired by Sailorstars.net (I miss you! ;_; ) to make
the corners rounded; they had a layout that I was just
wowed by.
Volume 13- Ah, the era of the image map...
^^;;; The whole site changed to have a table border with
three stripes on the top and bottom. Each section had an
image map that linked to the pages inside it. A bust shot
of Supersailormoon winking was prominently feature on
most pages. Not bad... It was around here that I made TSSP!
a separate section of a larger site, The World
Of Immora. The logo really is the same, just broken
up, while the section headers are different.
Volume 14- Still kept the stripes, but now a
pastel image of Supersailormoon was on the right and
blended into the stripe closest to it, and the table was
set to be 640 pixels wide, as were the rest of the pages
(except some reviews). I had all pages linked from the
mainpage, but listed under subheadings for the sections
they had been a part of before. The logo changed to match
the layout. Very, very compact on the screen. Wasn't it
pretty?
Volume
15- This was
the first layout that was really stand-out from other
sites, which Iron Mouse of sar inspired
me to do. Also the first to take forever to download on
purpose -_-;;;. It featured an image of ESM standing on
the left, with the links on the right. I started the
separate splash pages for each section, but they weren't
linked from the mainpage (the way the layout was setup
didn't allow for that). It lasted, oh, three weeks.
Again, logo change to match the layout.
Volume 16: Summer Spectacular!- Ah... My pride and joy... My first
beautiful, magazine-inspired layout with an image of a
summery Usagi and flowers, and instead of a list of
links, I made sentences with the sections linked in them,
kinda like a magazine has stuff highlighted for you to
check out. Lots of people begged to know where the image
came from and said they really loved this layout. Yeah,
baby, yeah!
Volume 17: Cutey-Patootey
Chibi-Chibi Craziness!- Chibichibimoon... Heh heh... I blame this on
Volume 18: Mad about
Minako!- A
heavily yellow layout featuring Minako in a cute gingham
outfit, hat, and Artemis sitting on her hat. I think it's
a pretty cute layout :D I condensed the layout with this
volume to save space. Isn't it cute how the button is
timed to be a cheer? "S-P-I... F-F-Y... Spiffy!
Spiffy! Gooo Spiffy!" 
Volume
19: After a
rather long hiatus, I came back with this layout of
Makoto for Christmas. I had been harassed to make a
Makoto layout *cough, Spridle, cough* so I did. I doodle
the picture in blue ink while I was sick and ended up
computer coloring it. Notice how the table isn't
perfectly centered. There were only a few issues before
this was taken down, and no button was made.
Volume
20: Rebirth- Sailorsaturn
is perfect to bring in the new year. This image came from
volume 10, when she is using her attack. I scanned it,
colored it on the computer, added decorative motion lines
and blurs. I left the background white-- wow, been
awhile! I was hoping for a touch of elegance, but still
showing the power this tiny girl has! The logo is in an
"Olde English" font. There is no button yet.
Fall Fantasies!- Featuring the always-lovely Setsuna
in a nice black dress, holding a wine glass. For some
reason, I think of really old wallpaper when I look at
this background O.O Whaddya mean, I'm crazy? Anyways... I
think it's very nice; elegant, classic, and beautiful,
like Setsuna herself. The button is kinda neat, IMHO; the
definition of "spiffy" scrolls across. Hey, it
fits Setsuna! Woooo! I planned to use this in October.
Resurrection!- What would have been the first
layout for 2000... mwahahaha! With all this
"Millennium" stuff people are going nuts over*,
I thought I'd cash in on the hype and make something to
fit with the "end of the world!" mentality.
Saturn's very appropriate, don't you think? This is
unique from the others in that there's two images instead
of just one, and it's the second to not have a flower on
it. Colors are the same as her fuku. Button is spiffy!
Wonderful Winter!- This features Haruka in a lacy
black and white outfit, with everything else in black and
white. And people always call her "manly,"
too!... What is it with these Outers? All their layouts
are sophisticated and not very bright compared to 16 and
18... More fitting of the Outers than bright and
colorful, right? The background is supposed to look like
lace; it's really hard to tell from the screenshot. I'll
probably use a modified version of this in February.
