I have been very busy lately with site updates!! Some of them are more noticeable than others, of course. For my content updates, I've added 13 new desktop wallpapers and 2 new SM Channel Splash Pages for March and April 2009.

Most of my updates have been most on the "administrative" side. As you can see, I've revamped the layout. Now that it's spring, I wanted something more colorful! It's also a tad wider, so I can fit more information in on your screen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

You'll also notice that there are more ads on this site. I decided that additional ad revenue will really help me out with hosting costs and everything (it's pretty expensive to maintain all the content on this site with the amount of visitors I have). They are pretty unobtrusive, so they shouldn't bother you. In fact, I have found that the ads for Sailor Moon content are really great!! There are several places I had no idea existed until I saw them on the ads. Tons of great shopping places where you can get great deals. I have really been amazed by how good the ads are.

The main thing that's changed is that I've moved to a new host. My old host wasn't very good, and I felt like I was being overcharged for the service they were providing. Well, now I've fully moved this site to LunarPages. I have had a secondary account with them for a while, and they are just wonderful. They are so easy to work with, have friendly and quick service, and most of all have affordable hosting plans with all the bells and whistles! I just love them. Their basic plan is just $4.95 per month, offers a free domain, and unlimited storage and bandwidth. It just doesn't get better than that, folks!! I definitely recommend them if you are looking for hosting.
