Lets work on blog!project! - ARCHIVED - SEE FIRST POST FOR IMPORTANT INFO AND LINKS

[rob]

I tried editing it now and on the edit panel the text and the icons are the same height....

[kira]

The actual entry posted is displaying them weirdly though >< it's just the first long row of hearts, the two shock faces, and the happy face under her line about going to school, all which are near the very beginning. Those are Ameba hosted images and should be replaced.



As for the images that aren't aligned correctly, those aren't as big of a problem, since those are hosted on b!p.



Sorry about this, I'll be more careful in the future T.T

1 - You never need to be sorry, you have no idea how thankful I am for your efforts, you have made my life SO MUCH EASIER.



2 - I appreciate your willingness to create something better and I too wish I could translate better so let's try together to improve our posts

I've been feeling as if I've needed a break recently. I didn't want to take a break unless I had a legitimate reason, but I've been a little stressed.

If its ok, I'll be taking a break for a couple of days. I should be back by the end of the week, at the latest.

I'm baaaaccck. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

I'll continue to prep Sayumi~ <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

...I missed my laptop! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... pyeyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' /> -hugs laptop-

[kurikaesu]

Star, thanks for letting us know. Hope you can get some rest.



Anyone willing and able to take over for Star temporarily? I can handle Riho's because her emoticons are easy for me, but it'd be great if someone can do Reina's.

[thaipokecard]

I will have 24 hours coding competition this coming weekend so I won't be able prep any weekend's entry. I will catch up on Monday.

[rokun]

^ Ok thanks ^^ I'll try to keep that in mind and do any myself if I'm so inclined over the weekend >.> lol

[cloverhoney]

When the blogger refers to herself in the 3rd person, is there a general guideline on blogproject to make it "I" or to keep it as she wrote it, or do you just decide based on the tone of the sentence?

[tsukinobyouin]

No "official" guideline. I tend to keep it in the third person unless it becomes cumbersome or too awkward in English. If it's rare for the person to use third person, I'd definitely try to keep it. If they constantly use third person (which most idols do), it's not a big deal to be too strict about it.

[rokun]

I tend to just keep it in the 3rd person... that way it gives a little of the effect the girl was using to begin with, is how I think of it. But that's just my arbitrary way of thinking... <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />



And translating Maa-chan's blog I think is showing me how I just totally fail in Japanese slang (if that's even what she's using. XD) Today she was introducing herself (and the pic?) as "Sayashi-sun desu." and I have no clue if that -sun has any further meaning ^^; I just left it as it is for now, but if anyone knows more about what she's doing I'll add it... lol

[star]

I'll be returning to prepping today . . . I'm totaly not stressed anymore, so that's a good thing.

That explains why I got lost when reading her blog. I thought my Japanese skill is getting worse. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

[rob]

I think she has a kinda weird way of seeing language, weird in a Japanese PoV anyway. She didn't start speaking Japanese until she was... 4.. or 5? until then she only spoke English I think

Nope, it's not just you. She's just incomprehensible. XD



I do agree with you too, Rob. Learning a language after you normally... would learn a language would make the feel of it a bit different I'd think. And considering how wacky Japanese can get to begin with... XD especially when you throw in regular slang and net slang and all...

I'm prepping Ayumin's blog but I was a second too late to save the picture. When I first looked at her blog, the picture was there. Then, when I clicked on the picture, it was gone. I also couldn't save the picture that was already displayed. I believe it was removed due to the fact that it is signed poster.

You can still see the small preview.

http://ameblo.jp/morningmusume-10ki/ima ... 05702.html

Any trick?



Edit: nvm. I think Firefox already removed temp files when I accidentally refreshed the page. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />

[/quote] Haha weird I've just saved and posted that exact picture in another place, if it's fixed then fine if not I have a hosted copy of it. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... joyful.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':joyful:' />

[rokun]

^ I added the version of the picture you posted to H!O <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> I wonder if it was illegal for her to post since it showed her signature or the picture or something? It looks like it's from the calendar.



Err, nvm, she said it was for Wakuteka Take a chance, so must just be some posters she's flipping through to sign...

[ObsidianSet]

I'm wondering if they're worried someone will start forging it? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /ph34r.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ph34r:' />

[thaipokecard]

They put it back (or perhaps make it public again). It was gone a while ago. I guess it wasn't something severe (like costume spoiler or something like that).

How do you translate this?

Since I strained myself...

After the work, I was completely exhausted / dead tired for a while...

[thaipokecard]

Just a reminder that I will be a zombie (which can write a program for 24 hours) this weekend.

I will catch up on Monday.

[ObsidianSet]

I've been meaning to ask...what do I do about Aichan's posts that link to her regular ustream thing?...and also she's just begun embedding Youtube video into posts. Some are literally just posts for the videos eg The Wakuteka dance shots but there's also this post http://ameblo.jp/takahashiai-blog/entry ... 33449.html with a video apparently randomly embedded within a wider themed post. Shall I just find the video URL and post that in the same position?

[kurikaesu]

^ For ustream, you can just paste the link to the channel. I've tried different methods, but haven't found a way to embed it like she does. For the youtube videos, yes, you can just embed it in (almost) the same position. Just go to the video, click on "Share" and copy & paste the link (not the embed code). Make sure that the link is left-aligned, even if it's centered on hers. Otherwise, it's gonna come out as a link and not as an embedded video (I'm not sure why...).

鈴木の今日のあるある的なコーナーやろっと

How would you guys translate "今日のあるある" ? I've seen "aruaru" used this way a lot recently and I'm not sure the best way to convey it in English. x_x



Also, I apologize for being so behind on translations lately. My usual translation time (lunch breaks) has been cut short lately, and by the end of the day when I get home allergies have made me pretty dead =/ I'm doing what I can to catch up tonight before I have to pass out again <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /sleep.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='-_-' />

[star]

My prepping will probably be very infrequent in the coming week or so. My relative's house has caught on fire due to an oven explosion. The house is bad, so they're going to be staying with us. (The details are very sketchy at this point, because its happening as I'm typing.) I will still try to prep as much as possibel, but I'm just giving you fair warning if they do end up staying with us.



(I'm really sorry for my absences recently, a lot of this is unexpected (bad fortune follows my family) I hope you can forgive me.)



Ignore all of this. They don't have to stay with us. My prepping should be normal.

[kurikaesu]

@TnB, something like



[Today's "Well, it happens."]



@Star, sorry to hear that about your relatives. I hope everything turns out well. And welcome back!

[rob]

Help a guy out.



Kanon (Fukuda that is) has started dieting and I'm wondering how I can go about translating what she said and not making it sound like she has a weight disorder...



"I'm not going to give up until I think I'm thin"



is what I originally put, but when I read it it sounded really bad.



so I went with the whole "I'm on a diet, I'll do my best"



any tips?
