Pardon Our Dust

Pardon Our Dust

You’ll have to pardon our dust as we bring you a new SHAFT website/blog!

We’re working on adding all of our links including links to our Facebook fan page, our podcasting and web comic friends, and conventions. We’re also working on cleaning up a load of the old posts. We will most likely be removing all old show notes from the blog, we will do our best to preserve AMV Alert!, Turning Japanese and Con-Goers posts in their entirety. However, some of the new features are as follows.

-Latest five episodes of SHAFT are ready to go when you open the page. These are the streaming versions of the episodes and will work with any computer that has flash… so anyone with an iDevice will have to wait until MP4s are on iTunes. This will also apply to any additional video content we plan on putting up in the future as well such as AMV Alert!.
-Latest four blog entries are shown as recent posts… complete with thumbnails. Making our content easier to find.
-Comments are more ‘reply friendly’. Meaning you can directly reply to someone in our comments rather then assume that the person below is talking to the person above.
-Twitter feed is now directly on the site. For those of us who do not follow us on Twitter can check our Twitter feed directly on the site. From time to time we will post links to anime news through out the week on our twitter profile as well as provide news and updates about the show through out the week.
-Promoting posts. So if you think a blog post or a SHAFT episode should be spread around the internet, it’ll be easy to do so with easy to click buttons found in the blog posts that can set it to sites like Digg or Twitter with relative ease.

Those are just some of the new features of the new SHAFT website. Let us know what you think by emailing us animeshaft (at) gmail (dot) com

Also do you really have to remove all the old posts? I just clicked the last page link and those old posts still look good.

All episodes of the audio podcast are being removed from the server in two weeks to make room for the video podcasts. The video podcasts are significantly larger in file size so we need all the room we can get. So if there is an episode of the old show you must have, download it now. After that the only way you’ll be able to get the audio versions is through donating to the show.

The reason the posts have to go is due to the overwhelming amount of dead links that will be on the site.
