new tagging system!

[panjapanja.livejournal.com]

The new layout filled me with so much energy that I've finally set up a tagging system for organizing posts! I spent my day tagging all posts made since January 1, 2009. Hopefully I can tag a year's worth of posts per day, all the way back to 2004... (I can't believe this community is 6 years old!).

So from now on, PLEASE TAG EVERYTHING YOU POST IN THIS COMMUNITY (saves me the trouble of adding it myself!). If you feel that your post needs a tag that isn't available among the current tags, you can request that tag by leaving a comment in this post.

How to add a tag on a new post: There's a box that says "Tags" below the space where you can type an LJ post. Just type the appropriate tag(s) into the box. Multiple tags are separated by a comma.

How to add a tag on an old existing post: Open the post (by clicking the post's title or "comment" button). There's a little row of icons in a blue bar above the post. One says "tag" (and says "edit tags" if you hold your mouse over it). Click it. Select the appropriate tag(s) from the tag list that appears, using CTRL+click to select multiple tags. Note that you can only do this if you were the one who wrote that post.

Explanation of my strange tags:

- abbreviations. they're obvious, but just in case: Haruka = Harukanaru Toki no Naka de, Corda = La Corda d'Oro/Kiniro no Corda, neoroma = NeoRomance
- there are main tags for a series and sub tags for a series, so be sure to use both, when applicable. For example, if you are posting an Angelique CD, please select the main series tag "Angelique" as well as the "Angelique:music downloads" tag.
- You can use the main series tags to customize your angemedia viewing experience! For example, if you are a big Corda fan and are in a 100% Corda mood and don't care about other NeoRomance stuff, just click the Corda tag to view only Corda-related posts.
- Use those more specific tags, like Angelique:music downloads, for when you're CD hunting 'cause all you want in the world is to hear Charlie's lovely singing voice.
- The "merchandise" tag is for announcing/introducing/showing off NeoRomance goodies, like figures or plushies.
- The "news" tag is to tell everyone about an official NeoRomance-related announcement.
- I could explain more tags but I think they're obvious enough, so if you're curious about a tag, just ask about it.

Hopefully these tags will make it much easier to access old content! There's probably a sea of dead download links in old posts, but it wouldn't hurt to check them to see what was once available so you can request a re-upload.

If anyone has a suggestion for new tags or improvements to the current tags, please let me know how I can make it more convenient. :D

Enjoy~

Yay for organization! :D I was just poking around in some of the older posts in here too :p My only suggestion would be to maybe make a separate category for posts with dead links? [note to self: never use sendspace for sharing downloads XD] Because having to dig through the many download posts just to find the ones that do work is kind of annoying ^^; [That's just me though]. I tagged a couple old posts with working links, so now everyone can [re]live the joys of the 2nd ange ova and the twin series XD

Separating dead links from working links would be nice, but then it adds a lot more work to do x_x I'd have to check every single link posted in the comm, and just thinking about it makes a chill go down my spine..! And if someone re-uploads a link upon request, someone would have to notice and the tag would have to change. Then there are other topics where the main links are dead but working (and sometimes unrelated) links are hiding in the comments..!
Ideally, I'm hoping that people will find the dead link posts and leave a comment asking for a reupload. :D Hopefully the original uploader will get an email notification from LJ and then see if they can help out. Or if the original uploader seems to have died, people can at least use the dead link post as a reference for what they can ask for and make a request post about it. Or something..! :O

Things would be a lot easier if the darn links wouldn't expire. ;_; I wonder if anyone knows of a file uploading service that offers links that don't die? mediafire used to last seemingly forever, but lately I find so many dead mediafire links that I guess they changed their service (I recently uploaded something to mediafire only to find it gone hours later..)

I do remember reading in one of the past posts that someone had a megaupload paid account and that's why those links never expired. If you have even a free login on mediafire it's not so bad [nothing of mine I have stored has disappeared yet ^^;] Or you can use sharebee and it uploads the file onto 4 or so different hosting sites for you.
And I actually had been testing most links until I noticed that sendspace and yousendit sucked... and savefile doesn't even exist anymore XD I could try helping with the tagging too, unless you want all the fun to yourself :p
Was there meant to be just one category for "game downloads"? Just wondering ^^;

[panjapanja.livejournal.com]

I guess mediafire and megaupload are best ^^ I will give sharebee a try too~

if you want to help tagging, go for it :D I have so many posts to go through it's depressing ;_;
and yes, having game downloads together was intentional ^^ since they're not very common and hopefully someone who wants to play something would be open to playing anything~

I´m happy to see that!. I was thiking how to find certain posts. Thank you very much for this :3. I usually upload things to megaupload or mediafire. I don´t know really if they erase that or not :s
