Savage Japan Movie Reviews

With the databases that bind some of my sites’ content together being corrupted by my previous hosting provider during one of their server upgrades, I’ve now moved on to hopefully greener hosting pastures.

This formerly HTML site was not one of the websites destroyed by my previous provider, but I’ve decided to take this hosting change as a cue to relaunch Savage Japan Movie Reviews with free WordPress software that will make the site easier to manage and make it possible to add new reviews without manually assembling HTML code.

I will be restoring the original reviews as I tweak this new WordPress version of the site, and then I’ll start adding new reviews every week or so.

Interestingly, it took me almost as long to build the page for a review as it did to write a review with the original version of SJMR. Using WordPress should make this a much more fun undertaking for me and result in a more satisfying, frequently updated destination for those who stop by from time to time.

If you want to play with the tool I use to make custom templates for WordPress, you can download a free demo of the surprisingly easy to use Artisteer using the banner link below.

Artisteer runs on Macs and PCs and can export templates in other formats as well, but WordPress is the most user friendly, versatile platform for blogs and other websites. Most hosting providers now allow you to automatically install WordPress in your hosting account for free with a few button clicks.

Many free templates are available for Wordpress, but being able to easily create and customize templates that perfectly suit my needs made Artisteer a worthwhile small expense for me.

Thanks for checking in.
