Last weekend, I went through this web site with a fine toothcomb, making all pages accessed via the main URL at http://www.netmix.com W3C XHTML 1.0 Transitional compliant. I have yet to add a few pages; notably the services, about, web site network and clients pages, which sorely need to be implemented.

Second on the agenda is the script that collects email address for the updates in the spine area on the right just underneath all the navigation for this blog. (I struck it from the homepage on Saturday). I know I installed it correctly, but for some reason it just doesn’t want to work right. I’ve emailed the programmer to ask him what what the deal is should hear something back soon to fix. Don’t bother adding your address there now until I announce here that it is fixed. You can still register for the blog.

The third thing that is bugging me (no pun intended…lol) is the Google Adsense code. You’ll notice that the ads appearing are for Japanese Pachinko machines. Yes…I wrote about these machines a month ago in a previous entry, but for some reason Google just won’t let us forget it. I’m hoping it works itself out, because there’s no way to fix it other than make sure my Channel settings in my Adsense profile are correct. They are. I’m not sure if it’s because so many people are coming through the Google gateway after looking up “Otaku” subculture and finding the my blog entry in Google’s search results. That could be one reason, but I’m not sure.

So, give me another week or so to get everything up to speed, then I’ll start working on the Mambo version of the site, which needs some graphics created and a full nav menu plotted out. I do it right, I’ll get it down the way I’ve wanted to do have Netmix since the site’s 3.0 reluanch in 1999. I’m excited to launch the new look. I think it will be a pleasant surprise!

By the way, I hope you don’t mind the Google Adsense and BlogMine ad code running at the bottom of the posts. I moved them from the top so they aren’t as intrusive. I need to make a couple of bucks to help keep this going, and hopefully growing. Thanks for your understanding.
