I just typed the following out for Reiko, but thought others may want to know what's going on as well ...

I'm off from work for 4 days and have BIG plans of things that I will do to try to get visitors coming to the right places.

From work, I was able to upload and activate about 700 photos to the new WebGallery!!!! YIPPEEE! (I had an old backup of the site saved to my hard drive at work!!!) Then before I left the office, I had about another 500 photos being uploaded, so I'll be able to activate them here from home and then they will show up in the gallery. I'll be posting links all over the world to the new WebGallery today, so people will know that all is not lost.

I did get in touch with someone at Bank of America to dispute the charge of approx $143 that Byteshack charged me for the renewal of the site. So I'm not so worried about that anymore. I'm just hoping that the dispute of this charge will not cause problems with the sanadahiroyuki.com site. I'd say with that site being up and down like it is, I'm not getting my money's worth with that either, but I don't want to have it go completely down. I'm afraid when it comes time to renew that domain and hosting package in September, I'll probably lose it, just like I've lost jgraphicdesigns.com. :-O The greatest loss there, would be the loss of the domain NAME of ----> sanadahiroyuki.com. I think I'll talk to my new hosting company and see if they can help me MOVE that domain name from Byteshack to BlueHost.

Just to be clear, these are the most important links to remember:

http://starlit-designs.com
http://starlit-designs.com/shinforum/
http://starlit-designs.com/hsgallery/

MUCH to do ... I'm uploading the avatars and smilies to the forum right now. While those are loading I'll get out there and edit the main page of the sanadahiroyuki.com (SHIN) site to post the links from above. Hopefully the site will stay up long enough to allow me to make the change! :-O If it won't, I'll just keep trying ...

Wish me luck, hopefully by the end of this weekend, I can make it easier for people to find everything. I still have to change my links in the IMDB site, Gia's site and the Sunshine Fan Forum. If anyone can think of other areas where I might need to do it, will you let me know?

Progress so far, this morning:

Uploaded the avitars and smilies for the fourm, but have not activated them for use yet. (That is really the time consuming part of the whole ordeal.)
Added a special page to the new starlit-designs.com site to explain what happened to the old WebGallery and SHIN Forum
Added this page in as a link at the top of my navigation area, called "Hiroyuki Sanada Pages", so hopefully people can't miss it.
Made a special post directing people to that new page, which DOES include the links to the newly created gallery and forum.
Updated the front page of the sanadahiroyuki.com/home.html page to guide people to starlit-designs.com, which is where all news will be posted about the development of the gallery and forum
Updated the Forum and Gallery links in the nav bar on the sanadahiroyuki.com/home.html home page to reflect the TRUE paths to the newly create forum and gallery.
Updated my links on THIS page to reflect the TRUE paths to the SHIN Forum and WebGallery

Things to do:

Take a nap (HAHA)
Go to the new forum and make some mention of the progress that's being made with the WebGallery and repost links LOUD AND CLEAR about where everything is at now.
Activate the 500 or so photos that are hanging out in the WebGallery that cannot be seen yet.
Activate the smilies and avitars for the forum
Get out on the web and go to sites where I've posted links to my sites previously, to correct the locations of the gallery and forum
Take ANOTHER nap!

I know I'm bound to be forgetting things, so please be patient with me as I try to pull all this together ...
