Today marks the launch of OKSMM's fifth incarnation. It's been updated in preparation of a life after graduation. So what's new?
* Brand New Design. The journal updates are still the most regularly updated feature, so the layout and type have been cleaned up for better readability. Gotsta stick with my brand colors of red, black and grey. Each individual post has its own permanent page now in addition to the monthly archives. There are also new random Flash headers (one with old Okay Samurai concert footage) and featured projects.
* A New Cardboard Box. I really wanted our archives to be entertaining and visually-driven instead of the usual crappy sitemap directory (but there's still one there if you enjoy being boring). Every movie, comic, drawing, entry and song we've put up here since 1998 is now easier than ever to find.
* RSS and XML Feeds. Well it's about freakin' time. Now you can subscribe to our journal entries on news feeders and mobile devices, so you'll always be the first kid on the block to know about the latest updates.
* Secrets. Want to find the time I got published in Nintendo Power magazine and use it as blackmail? That photo and a few other secrets are hidden throughout the site.
There are also links to friends of the samurai, a new mailbox, some new dedicated pages for things like the TFA Chronicles and Okay Samurai music, and promise of a final portfolio on the way. Since the entire site was reformatted, the journal archives are still missing a few pictures and links, but they should be fixed shortly.
Hope you enjoy the new look. Since day one, this site's main purpose is stay in touch with family and friends...thank you to everyone who continues to visit. No matter where I end up after graduation, you can be sure that there will be plenty more stories, movies, music and adventures yet to come.
