The Kanji SITE Creaks Back Into Life

Posted in general at 12:49 pm by Chris

Hello and welcome to the all-new Kanji SITE blog, which will keep you up to date on all Kanji SITE news and updates. This blog replaces the previous Status page, which will be taken outside and shot any day now.

The more astute among you will have noticed that the site hasn’t been updated in a while. Yes, well, it’s certainly been some time and I apologise for that. I’ve been, er, otherwise engaged - and no, that isn’t a euphemism for “in jail” or anything like that. Just busy with other stuff.

The good news, though, is that I recently managed to scrape a pass in the JLPT Level 2, on only my second attempt. I won’t say it was “mission accomplished” or anything like that - I still have a way to go until my Japanese is at the level I would like it to be - but it was nice to get it. In other news, I finally left Japan earlier this year. Yes, after eight years of miso soup and canned coffee, I’ve moved back to the UK. I’m enjoying being back, but good grief I could kill for some decent sushi.

Anyway, I’m going to be updating the site a lot more over the next year or so. I have grand plans, but the first step is to get the Level 2 kanji detail pages finished. Then I want to completely overhaul the site, replacing its quaint static HTML with something a bit more handy, and bringing in some new features. More on that later.

To stay up to date with developments here, you can subscribe to the blog’s RSS feed or the existing e-mail list, both of which I’ll use to announce all news and updates as they happen.

So, welcome back and please stay tuned for more updates. I’m looking forward to getting stuck in, and hope that the site continues to prove useful to at least some of you out there. Please continue to send me your feedback, or you can say hi via the blog comments.

It’s good to be back.
