If there’s one thing I fear most while reading anime blogs, it’s spoilers! Whenever I see a potential spoiler, I scroll down as fast as I can and try to forget what I saw. Sometimes it’s too late, and the damage is done.

It doesn’t have to be this way, though! I found this wordpress plugin that can hide spoilers until the reader gives consent to view said spoiler. It’s really simple; you just use spoiler tags <spoiler> and </spoiler> with the spoiler inbetween.

Check out the plugin in action:

In Hantsuki, Rika-chan is really a guy, and her heart’s not really messed up; she’s actually getting a sex change operation! When Yuuichi finds out about this, he turns to Akiko and her friend for some yakuza three-way lovin’!

Shocking, isn’t it!?

You can get the plugin here, or get the zip directly here (because the .phps file is less simple to install).

Note: I tried this plugin previously on WordPress 2.0, and for some reason it didn’t work. When I upgraded to 2.01, it worked fine. The plugin itself was designed to work for 1.5, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t. If you’re still running 2.0, maybe it’s time to upgrade?

PS: This plugin also supposedly works in the comment forms too, so spoil accordingly.

Hey all! There’s just a few administrative things I’d like to tell my readers about. Ok, actually, there’s just one.

I had set up this thing on the sidebar that lets you sign up for email updates. It was powered using feedblitz or some other cool buzzword web 2.0 company. It wasn’t really to my liking, but since pretty much no one signed up for updates anyway, I was like, "meh." The problem with it was that it only sent emails once a day, and pretty much a day after the post was made.

Lo and behold, some people have recently signed up for email notifications! I’ve decided to change the system that I use. I’m now using the wordpress wp-email-notification plugin. This one is instantaneous and quite awesome. So if you’ve signed up for email updates previously, please sign up again (I promise you won’t get duplicate emails). And if you haven’t signed up, well, this is the perfect time*!

Oh, and don’t be worried that I’ll spam you or sell your email to anyone. You’ll only get emailed if I update my blog (and I’ll try to keep the updates to 1 a day at most!). Thanks for reading my rant, and have a nice day! And, uh, here’s some Binchou-tan fanservice for reading through it. (Did I just say Binchou-tan fanservice!?!?!)

*may not actually be the perfect time

What with me updating my own blog’s theme, the banner contest over at Pretty Scythe and lolitron’s new IE hatin’ theme, I guess this is anime blog update season huh? 

Maybe I will make a banner for the contest, maybe I won’t. Everyone’s doing it though! I actually have a cool idea for a header and tagline, but I dunno if I could actually implement it well.

How are my own headers looking? The Magikano one looks a bit out of place I know; maybe I’ll replace it with something monochromatic like the other ones. I feel that since I have a unique header (that rotates), and I’ve gotten comment spam, I’m a real blog now! Well, not me myself, but my blog.

And yeah, I’m hoping to actually blog about anime soon, but where are the subs for the new season? I could try previewing a series raw; now that would be comedy gold.

You may have noticed that Basugasubakuhatsu Anime Blog looks a little different! Yep, after leeching off of the Blix theme for so long, I’ve decided to leech off of K2! It’s really an awesome theme. I’m gonna be working on it a little more, so expect a new header graphic and other coolness! Stay tuned!

Hey there,
Here’s some friendly feed info for you in case you’d like to know what’s happening on my blog without actually visiting it (although you should, and often!).

You can subscribe to my RSS feed in a variety of ways. If you’ve got gmail or google as your homepage, you can use this button:

Regardless of whether you subscribe or not, I really appreciate the fact that people are actually reading my blog. It encourages me to keep going and want to create new stuff for you to read. Anyway, thanks, and goodnight!

Ok, so this admittedly doesn’t have anything to do with Anime, but this website is too cute! It’s called Cute Overload (I think Cute Overlord would be cool too), and it has nothing but pictures of cute animals. Kawaii!!!!!! Maybe a cute anime overload should be in the works next?

Here’s a neat blog trick that I found. It shows you how much your blog is worth. What with my blog being 1 day old and all, I don’t expect it to be worth much. But in fact, it has been proven worthless. Thanks Technorati, you just made my day! Actually, I’m just putting this on the side bar, so if in fact my blog ever became worth something, I would immediately sell it and buy an island to live the rest of my days.
