Before I go into the update details, I’d like to kind of talk about rhodesia for a bit. No, I am not closing the site. I’d just like to tell you all about what goes on behind the site.

Honestly, I’ve owned rhodesia for over four years now and for about the past two or three it has become somewhat of an afterthought for me. Something I update whenever I get around to it rather than actually setting aside some time for the site. The realization of that saddened me, to be honest. rhodesia has become something near and dear to me, so I don’t want to let it go. Or more like I won’t let it go. Not yet, at least.

rhodesia has become somewhat of a pillar in my life. If the going gets tough and I need an escape, this is what I’ve got. That said, rhodesia will probably stick around until I feel that I don’t need that type of pillar anymore. I started rhodesia back in 2006 to branch out and try to spread my own wings, so to speak, in the graphic design world. Now the site has become something so much more than that. It’s my creative outlet, it’s something that puts me at peace, it’s something I very much enjoy and treasure.

To be honest, I’m kind of a lazy person that never really sticks to one thing for very long. In that sense, I’m amazed rhodesia hasn’t died off because of my flighty personality. However, at the same time I’m also very stubborn and that stubbornness is probably a good part of the reason rhodesia is still here. From now on, I’m setting aside some time in my schedule to properly maintain this site. No more afterthought/only when I feel like it updates.

Note that this doesn’t actually mean I’ll be updating every week or few weeks. I’ll probably update at least once a month, however. I just feel really, really bad that I’ve been inadvertently treating this site so badly for the past few years.

Anyway, updates hoy.

Sitely:
- Cleared up affiliates. Affiliation is now open for 3 spots. Affiliates that have been removed are more than welcome to tell me when they come back, if they do, and I’ll be happy to re-affiliate!
- New layout. Darker this time, yay!

All icons and posts outside of this post have been purged and the new icons are up. D8 It took me over an hour to code these tables. No lie.

Some of the icons posted here have not yet been posted to colourpop. I was rushing this post so I didn’t finish the icon post I was working on for colourpop before posting this. :>

—————————————————————-

I’m basically just uploading the layout for now. It’s 11pm and I’m quite tired. xD

The update will consist of over 200 icons and I’m too lazy to code the tables for all of this before bed. I’m sitting at 234 atm. However, since I’m still working on more icons it’ll probably be closer to 300 knowing my iconing habits as of late. orz.

I’m also contemplating how I want to sort said icons. Having them all in one folder gets a bit…confusing? I guess that’d be the word. It’s sheer insanity to have over 300 icons in one folder. xD

Post Contains:
022 ☆ BLAZBLUE
007 ★ Evangelion
118 ☆ Axis Powers Hetalia
010 ★ Kingdom Hearts
024 ☆ Persona3
009 ★ Star Ocean
011 ☆ Tales of Hearts
017 ★ Tales of Symphonia
023 ☆ Tales of Vesperia
032 ★ Vocaloid
273 ☆ Total
