Oh sorry, no (I tried to explain) there is a WordPress.com website, but there is also WordPress.org software (I'm assuming the same parties are involved) but anyway, DigitalDevilDb.com is built on the Wordpress software (like I explained) ...you can register with our WordPress interface here (http://www.digitaldevildb.com/wp-login.php?action=register) ...the process should be pretty similar if you just made that blog with WordPress.com.

If you want/have an outside blog for yourself we can link to your blog (syndication) like the way this post (http://www.digitaldevildb.com/archives/franchisers/atlus-usa/2009/06/you-have-been-officially-spoiled-persona-ost/) links to Emilio's nijiko blog.

I will try to get your post up asap, but you should also post the text into this forum topic/thread (preferably edit it in at the top) ...you'll get the hang of things eventually if you stick with it


I will try to copy what you have over to the website asap (been a little occupied lately) ...but in the meantime I want you to edit your post into the thread, and register with the website (digitaldevildb.com) ^

Here is another post about a website going up (http://www.digitaldevildb.com/archives/franchisers/atlus-usa/2009/04/atlus-usa-devil-survivor-site-comes-alive/) if that helps at all. Just be yourself. We don't do opinions (op-eds) but we encourage personality.

I think the format that has developed for news posts is at least two paragraphs with an image sandwiched in between. We can/have accommodated different layouts but the amount of content should be comparable to that at least I think. Your call. You've made the topic (thread) in the forums, just need to bang out the content / hunt down a graphic.

If/when you make a habit of posting we will more and more lean on you to do as much of the process as possible yourself, but for new posters we'll take care of the technical stuff for you. Before we can publish you'll also at least need a WordPress user account (registration from the front page) which I'd prefer you setup yourself. That's so your name (Posted by) can be tacked on to the end of the post.

I will resize your image for you if necessary, but the max width is 450px, but if there is a larger version of the image we do a "lightbox" gallery setup so when you click on it the big version gets overlayed over the page. From now on I also want to insist on a copy of the image being attached somewhere in the NEWS: thread so we always have a backup.

There, I already made the necessary adjustments. The post was edited...

No hard feelings

[Edited (for the record) it reads...]

Technically Emilio this post was edited a bit it seems (http://www.digitaldevildb.com/archives/releases/reviews/2009/05/devil-summoner-2-making-headlines/)

Edited (for the record) it reads...

Is the sequel to Devil Summoner everything it should be?

[THE GRAPHIC HERE]
Let’s find out…

The recently released “Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs King Abaddon” seems to be worth your money so says the internet buzz. Released on May 12th, the sequel to the popular first installment has gathered a rather high number of positive reviews. None of which seem to fall below the 80% mark. A high achievement indeed.

Here are some blurbs dredged from the internet…

    RPGFan.com »“…one of the most vastly improved sequels I’ve ever played for an RPG.”
    Thunderboltgames.com »“Raidou vs King Abaddon feels like the product of a company that listens to it’s customers.”
    Destructoid.com »“Shin Megami Tensei and Devil Summoner series fans, we shouldn’t even need to say it: You need this game.”
    1Up.com »“…the total revamp of the battle system makes Devil Summoner 2 more than “more of the same.”

So what is everyone so excited about?! Improved combat, graphics and extra content (not to mention multiple endings and story progression) are just some of the things praised with almost every review also adding that the game is a vast improvement over it’s predecessor in just about every way possible. But don’t take our word for it.

I added some of the static content from this page...

To the front page of the archives (for lack of anything better to stick there)

Anyway, I noticed there are a number of comments said to apply to the posts. They seem to point to the old bbs, but I can't find any bbs threads with the same name as the posts. So I thought I might as well ask if anyone can remember back then what might've been going on / if the comments might still be in the bbs somewhere

If so we could put them back I suppose ...if not I'm assuming they were lost somehow

I'm afraid I don't get around much for Megaten... I suppose I sort of just wait for people to bring stuff back here

I think I prefer reading wikis and guides probably more than playing the games themselves anymore.


I will get the manga you have up asap (pretty soon I think) ...You might wanna hang around in case I need any coaching.

Spanish is up (or will be soon) ...so late I know

Attached is a hard copy of the original graphic for safe keeping...

Just realized I'd not finished publishing all of the Spanish translation work Emilio did all the way back to the beginning of time / I asked Emilio to give the site a second chance. Let's hope he will. No one else has ever worked so selflessly like Tony for this place as has Emilio

FYI: Everyone is a Contributor now with the ability to write posts/pages/and upload to the WordPress Media Library. If anyone makes a new account (http://www.digitaldevildb.com/wp-login.php?action=register) they will be too. Your pages/posts/media will exist in the database but someone with privileges still has to review/publish them before they will appear on the website. You can probably still link to your media, like in the forums, if you'd prefer to do that than attachment/hotlink.

If you guys notice any new powers you have that seem to overreaching let me know. I might've enabled something I shouldn't have.


PS: Please disable the "Visual Editor" option in your WordPress control panel if you're going to write posts. That causes a lot of nightmare for me and presumably our editors. Eventually I intend to make that feature unaccessible to everyone.

PPS: If/when you feel like your stuff is ready to  be published, you need to change its status to "Pending Review" so our staff will be able to notice it/know you're ready without too much hassle. This feature seems to be missing (hopefully temporarily) from current versions of WP but I don't think we'll be upgrading anytime soon, and hopefully it will be put back by then

I hope that's the biggest news we've missed out on


I've always wished the site could include a post for every little Megaten happening, but reality can be a cold mistress. We have a special "retro" feature for posting news from the past. I don't care if you can write a believable period piece from the late 80s we'd retro publish it. Also getting permission to archive past posts from other blogs would be welcome as well.

Please don't hesitate... you can wear my site savior crown if you can do that for us/everyone

You just need a WordPress account (with the website/front page/not WordPress.org) if you don't already. I'm going to make Contributor the default role or whatever for newly registered people and give Contributors virtually all privileges other than self-publishing maybe before the night ends. If you already have a WordPress account, let me know your login name so I can make sure you have the privileges you need. You can make a matching NEWS: thread in this board though and get started, since we insist authors also do that before their post gets published on the front page.

Also if you add a graphic please use the forum attachment feature so we have a hard copy. I had a bit of trouble tracking down some graphics that had deadlinked or been lost the last time we lost control of the webhost (won't happen again... the website is officially rock steady now)


PS: If you feel like you need an editor I bet Jessicat will give you a hand. I think she will have post publishing privileges soon (she already has global pre-published editing I think)

PS: I think the javascript code file the page is using must not be the freshest one I have. The latest version has to be on my computer surely, so I will just find/upload that asap (could be after Xmas blows over)

I spent the entire afternoon and evening sorting out what on earth was wrong with the MIP demonary... but anyway probably 6hrs later it has been restored to it's former glory (http://www.digitaldevildb.com/construction/persona/)

I'm honestly not sure how it was left in that state, or if I was working on overhauling it when the website last went up in smoke or what. If I was it's safe to say I finally finished what I started. The demonary is here (http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=piKSlpkg0llAny-VoXNRkKQ&hl=en) for anyone who missed out on that action *leers at Jessicat*
