Kumusta!

Welcome to A Glimpse Into The Horizon, an avatars-resource site (mainly animé). Enough said. Just have some fun, okay?

Last 3 Additions

Updates

Now a Co-owner

I've decided not to necessarily make an update post eveytime I add avatars as there are times when I only add two or three of them. Instead, I will display the last three avatars added in the home page to give the impression that even if there are no new posts, avatars are constantly added.

I applied as a staff (particularly a PNG extractor) in Kuusou and only recently I was promoted as a co-owner. Yosh! I've always wanted this. Must do me best. So far my last (hopefully) semestral break has been fun. Out of all the hassle from the last semester I finally had time to do Photoshop and update web pages. No monetizations though. T___T Okay, I'm off to extract more PNG's. And two new avatars added by the way.

Edit: Forgot to say that I center-aligned the layout.

Becoming a Vampire

Seven new avatars added on the list. Most of them from Vampire Knight (again?). I somewhat lost the hang of making them. School is about to end and many things must be rushed. Speaking of the series, the second season will air this month. And that means...that I have to find myself a place with a monstrous Internet connection for downloading fast!

Need Help

Yukie, my newest affiliate who accepted me without any further discussion n_n (now that I've mentioned it, this is the first update which included a new affiliate), pointed out that she likes the Vampire Knight avatars made so far. Quite vaguely, I tend to make avatars out of the series (well, apparently, those that I'm currently following). I guess I just can't live snapshots as they are. Tehe. The one on the left is Maria Kurenai from the series. I barely made touches over it yet I find it blazingly neat.

  • Newest avatars: 1 Itazura na Kiss, 1 Special A, 1 Slayers, 2 Vampire Knight, 1 Others.
  • Avatars page is becoming vertically long so I would appreciate it if someone teach me how to break things into pages.
  • (random) Finally figured out the culprit behind all the "Forbidden" messages in my domain.

New Subdomain

I realized that I missed using the name — subdomain name to be exact — agith for this site. Moving the site here was entirely not the plan in the first place. And so, yesterday, I contacted my host about it. Immediately, this morning, I received a reply telling me that all my files have already been moved and that the old URL now redirects to the one you see in your address bar now. Melfina, cheers! <3.

9 new avatars added. I seem not to like some of them so it's probable that I'll be pulling them out either temporarily or permanently some time.

Otaku Reborn

I can hardly believe that I'm watching animés again. :cheerful: It came back when a classmate told me of Vampire Knight. Before I even knew it, I was already spending hours downloading episode after episode. I eventually arrived at other places and found out newer animés too. In fact, it opened me to downloading via torrents (which I find really cool). The one I'm currently following is Special A and Itazura na Kiss. Such good ones. :wink:

Anyway, 9 new avatars added. And sadly, I still haven't seen a good way of managing this site. You know, to at least lessen the manual coding. I have been busy and lazy as usual these past few days especially now that it's the 61st Foundation Week of our university. I still have unfinished avatars in PSD (Photoshop) format and I cannot promise the exact date of their release. That's it. Smell ya later~

A Whole New Look

Well, here I am, still alive and tryin' to stay alive. It has been over a year since I last changed the layout. Also, since then, I had no descent updates other than moving to a new and bigger host. Summer has just ended and here's what I came up with (though the layout's actually already ready prior to it).

The layout features images from Advanced Anime. Can you guess how many are there? The total number of brushes used is three. I'm so sorry to say that I forgot where I got them. But I believe each one is from a different graphics resource site.

The avatars section is up for the very first time. There are only 14 for now. I am planning on using a simple CMS (Content Management System) specifically CuteNews for other people to be able to upload their own work but it seems that my codes won't work well with it. It's been quite a while since I coded CSS and it turned out somewhat disturbing. The alternative solution I'm thinking of is asking my host for a WordPress (a different CMS) installation. For now, I'm returning back to manual posting, my first innocence.
