muripo.com (Personal Project)

web muripo thumb

My personal site, muripo.com. Focus is on the strange things I find interesting on the internet, with emphasis on Japanese news that doesn’t quite make it internationally due to obscurity.

  • Photoshop: Creating the blog template, resizing images
  • WordPress: My favorite platform to work with, as I’ve been using it since 2007
  • Most of the HTML/CSS was edited in either Notepad++, and bug testing with either Google Chrome (Inspect Element)

Hotel New Century

Localized text and graphics from Japanese to English for Hotel New Century. Didn’t have access to original files, so recreated most from scratch via Photoshop.

The site has been updated since then. I also edited parts of the new site, such as English text and minor visual tweaks.
