Now that I think about it, none of y'all mascots are that chesty. Your managers are, though, aren't they?

"Yeah, we'd be too top heavy with out builds, ya know? And duuuuuuuuh! Mostly Manager T, though. Manager M after and Manager S...no comment~." She gives a sort of knowing shrug. "Chelsea and Hannah too, though~. Very fun to bother them like a squeaker bothers a CoD lobby~."

Fandom Memories: HMFarm

Hmmm. So, nearly a quarter of you whippersnappers wanna hear about the good ol' days, huh? Well, back in the day, you wouldn't just hang out on one or two big websites to try to find people who shared your niche interests among a million random users. Everything had its own dedicated site, with its own special pack of weirdos that you probably wouldn't find anywhere else. Home grown fandom, sprouting from the cement sidewalks of the freshly paved internet like so many weeds with pretty little flowers on top. So, let's take a little stroll down memory lane and visit one of the oldest fan sites with Archive.org's "Wayback Machine."

Ahh, just like I remember it. This here is "Harvest Moon Farm." 'course, we just called it HMFarm, like the URL did. This used to be the place to be. The prime progenitor of all farmin' fansites in the English speaking community. Maybe not the literal first, but up until around 2005, this was where you would go if you wanted to know anythin' about digital farmin'. It truly was a magical place to visit.

This screenshot isn't the oldest design, but it's the one I fondly remember. The majority of my time using the site was during the lead-up to A Wonderful Life, which was probably also when it was the most active as an information source. Seeing the screenshots, checking the forums, speculatin', wonderin', dreamin'... It's a warm feeling. I can't really describe how it felt to look at these shots for the first time. Granted, they were mostly sourced from various places like IGN or Newtechnix, but who wanted to go to THOSE messy sites when all the info I wanted was right here? IGN wasn't telling me how to revive the Vineyard in Harvest Moon 64 while I was waiting for AWL news either.

Our first look at the character we would come to know as Muffy, the sheer novelty of being able to go into the townsfolk's glorious, 3D-rendered rooms, the apparent misidentification of flowering tomatoes... The webmaster, Gamergirl87, would caption each one as well. Some of the captions of those screenshots ended up not being exactly true, but it was the closest thing to on-going coverage we really had. Who else was there to trust?

It's a little off topic, but I think at one point after learning about the GBA connectivity, I must have dreamed about this very gallery and seeing a screenshot of a Gamecube-ized Popuri with the caption that Mineral Town villagers would visit after connecting the GC and GBA together. At least, I'm pretty sure it was a dream. I've met some people who claim they saw the same thing, but none of us have been able to find that screenshot or comment again.

The one that would most catch my attention was the one on the left here. I didn't have a PlayStation 2, so I was coming fresh off of the GameBoy and Nintendo 64 when going into A Wonderful Life. The pond, the mysterious glowing plants, the mood and ambiance of their lighting, the little tree on the door... Naturally, I mirrored it on my first day the remake was available.

It's a real shame that the message boards are poorly preserved, since it doesn't look like there was a news post about the pre-order plush cow. I was hoping to find the name of whoever it was that convinced me to commit my first ever preorder. I still have the receipt, but without the forum post it's really only tangentially related to HM Farm.

'course, just learning about existing games and upcoming games wasn't the only good thing HM Farm was for. As I alluded to, there was a whole community here! While it's a shame that the message boards aren't well preserved by the Wayback Machine, you know what is?

The "ideas" list! This incredible time capsule was one of the first "interactive" parts of the site, starting in the year 2000. It's kind of fun to see how many of these ideas actually happened. Obviously, new characters and personalities were probably expected, but Animal Parade would eventually feature a honeymoon, several games have clothing and other customization, a mall, city, and pig would be added as soon as GBC 3, a goat would be in A Wonderful Life... It's actually amazing how prescient a lot of the suggestions are.

I'd share the whole thing, but the amount of e-mail addresses involved gives me pause. Still, there's a couple I wanna highlight:

Considering how often I still hear about people wanting to marry the moms and people attributing it to just "the fans getting older," it's funny to see Laserion lay out that, no, we've always been like this. Right down to using Manna's unhappy marriage and Lillia's husband never returning as valid reasons they should be available.

Tuan145, on the other hand, I just find extremely amusing because of the specific "2002 Escalade" part. Yes, this is clearly the ideal vehicle for all farmers in the Story of Seasons universe. This is now accepted headcanon. The boat was added in GBC 3 too, so obviously a 2002 Escalade is going to be added any day now.

Another thing that's amazingly well preserved is the site's fan art section. There's a few missing images here and there, but for the most part the entire thing is open to explore. People of basically all ages and skill levels happily submitted their creations, including original characters, digital art, traditional art, crossovers with popular series like Sailor Moon, a liiittle bit of drug use... Y'know, all the kinds of things you'd expect to see in a fan art gallery of the day.

Even better, some of the artists are still doing art today! Looking around, I quickly discovered one of my favorites, Rina Cat, is now on Blue Sky. I made sure to ask for permission to repost their art before including it here. Reaching out to everyone would be a bit much though, so I'll just encourage you to just browse the gallery using the Wayback Machine yourself. There's poetry and fanfics too!

There's a lot more to the site, including useful bits of history like keeping track of release dates for games, pre-release screenshots, and information that was only available on Japanese websites at the time, but I'll leave it at that for now.

Unfortunately, though the site continued to be updated until 2010 and stayed online until 2021, it's no longer available on the regular internet and the URL doesn't seem safe to access anymore. I wanted to include an interview with the former webmaster as well, but all their readily available contact information was tied to the website and I haven't had any luck so far in finding other means of contact. If I have any success, I'll be sure to make a follow-up! If you have any memories of HMFarm, or other fan sites, I'd be happy to hear about it.

SITE UPDATE: THE PALEOARCHIVE IS LIVE!

the latest edition of cypressure.ink is up, now featuring a dedicated gallery for all my paleoart! this is a new page collecting both print and digital artworks about prehistoric life.

previously, my portfolio site only had my traditionally done pieces, but (a) those are only a portion of my creative practice, (b) the divide between digital illustration and "fine art" is an arbitrary and lowkey elitist distinction that i don't really believe in, and finally (c) i want to make sure everything i've made can be archived somewhere outside of social media. this page is the solution, thanks to my wonderful webmaster and qpp's expertise; she has labored at length to create an excellent showcase and i can't thank her enough for all her work on the site.

a few notes: we are still working out a few bugs with mobile browsers, so images in the paleoarchive gallery may not appear properly on your phone. and i'm also writing image descriptions for about 3 years' worth of drawings, which is no small task and means art is being added in small batches to the archive—i'll try to post about major new additions on here, but be sure to check back later as we fully populate the site.

i'm very excited to finally share this with you all! please take a look, and my askbox is open for feedback and questions :)

Estas es una de esas cosas de las que no he dejado de pensar en un rato, lmao. Y a veces mi dashboard me lo recuerda.

Hubo alguna ocasión en tipo... 2008 o 2009, que me acuerdo haberme topado con una publicación dedicada al animanga (estoy con la ligera idea que fue Conexión Manga, pero, ¿le he dado vueltas a mi colección y no recuerdo haberme vuelto a topar con este detalle? aunque también pudo ser cualquiera de los especiales con DVD), con un artículo sobre Prétear (cuando aún era relativamente reciente) con un subtítulo ¿o algo así? que iba como las conjugaciones de un verbo en español (porque… "-ar", ¿¿¿se entiende??? ¿¿¿SE ENTIENDE???), como "yo preteo, tú preteas…" y así y así. Es un detalle que siempre me pareció súper bobo, pero pues… PUES. Es algo que 15 años después aún recuerdo.

Sin embargo, la revista en sí no la tengo en la punta de mi lengua. Y si no es Conexión Manga... ¿es probable que sea Virtual Kids? Sin embargo, aquí hay otro detalle - yo me deshice de esas revistas (con muy pocas excepciones) porque, francamente la revista VK tenía una calidad muy pobre (en cuanto a integridad y en diseño gráfico :I). Y aun así, me da lástima haberme deshecho de ellas :') porque son una verdadera joya en cuánto a plagio se refiere :D.

VK! no era la mejor publicación allá afuera y yo las conseguía porque era lo que era, y ¿a lo mejor? me gustaba reírme de ellas. No obstante, cuando empezaron a dedicarse al rollo tweensie de Disney, o empezaron a darle más rollo a Twilight? ahí de plano me bajé del barco. Pero... es que francamente estas revistas eran malísimas. Estoy un 80% segura que el equipo editorial era toda una sola familia, muchos de los artículos eran plagiados o robados de otras revistas (como la Wizard) y literalmente ponían scans de revistas japonesas haciéndolas pasar como "suyas" y poniendo algo como "nuestra corresponsal en Japón" cuando no creo que era así y ni siquiera acreditaban las publicaciones originales (eran imágenes o scans de revistas reales; a veces si la imagen original era POBRE, intentaban vectorizar con Illustrator o Photoshop con malísimos resultados... y otras que sacaban eran literal wallpapers hechos con fans que apenas les andaban a los paquetes de Macromedia/Adobe y miren que no quiero decir que Conexión Manga tampoco no sacaba imgs de artbooks o de revistas como Newtype o Animedia o Animage, pero era lo que había en internet también, aunque a veces todavía me hace preguntar de DÓNDE sacaban sus imgs porque recuerdo algunas que me hacían interrogarme qué TANTO excavaron para sacarlas).

(Algo también - Conexión Manga, sea lo que sea, también solía tener esta calidad de "fanzine" de la época - quizás no tan BIEN como las españolas que te podían vender al precio semejante de un hígado porque importes e impuestos y porque 80 pesos era mucho para una chiquilla de secundaria/prepa - era lo mejorcito que había, ¿pero apreciaba ese tipo de calidad de "fanzine"? Mientras que VK! se hacían como que más "profesionales" y aun así :/c, QUIERO DECIR - miren que los de CM no se sacaban de la manga entrevistas con seiyuu tipo Kugimiya Rie o Shiraishi Ryoko como si ellos tuvieran la oportunidad de entrevistarles, JA)

Aún así, Virtual Kids se pasaban de lanza con la falta de crédito, hasta recuerdo haberme topado con un drama en un foro (ya inexistente) que hubo cuando un webmaster de un fansite se dio cuenta de que le dieron copypaste a info disponible en su sitio y sólo le acreditaron sin siquiera haberle pagado, lol) y ya no le seguí a ello. Otros dramas, me acuerdo que hubo un rollo sobre el live action de Sailor Moon en tipo 2005 o 2006? que según la habían pasado acá, ¿pero...? sigue sin ser creíble, lmao y ¿todavía alguien replicó esta info en TvTropes también en tipo 2010? Y parece que desde que me mudé en 2010, toda mención sobre la dichosa revista se fue al caño, también. Con poquitas excepciones como scans de los especiales apareciendo en Archive.org, nadie recuerda esta publicación de dudosa calidad.

Y francamente me hubiera encantado verlos puestos bajo el microscopio, lol. No sé. O sea, sí tengo recortes como ejemplos, lol, pero es bien poco en comparación.

Ahhhh... no sé si quiero describir mi rollo como "lost media", o sí lo merezca. Hay otras publicaciones que si califican que me acuerdo y me sigue doliendo haberme deshecho de ellas, porque sí me gustaría haberlas dado a conocer (¡nadie parece acordarse de éstas! Ando en mis pequeñas búsquedas personales, pero no confío en mercadolibre... y no tengo la lana para meterme a ver más a fondo en tiendas de libros usados... tenía en mente una, ¡pero ni idea si sobrevivió a la pandemia!). Quizás no tan queridas como otras, pero, pues.

Y todo esto porque recuerdo un muy mal chiste de encabezado de una serie de majokko/reverse harem :) y no encuentro con exactitud qué publicación FUE.

SEO is essential for any WordPress website aiming to rank higher on Google and other search engines.

Whether you’re running a blog, an online store, or a business website, optimising your WordPress site for SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) can significantly boost organic traffic, improve user experience, and increase conversions.

In this article, we provide a complete SEO checklist for WordPress websites in 2025, covering both basic and advanced techniques to ensure your site is fully optimised for success.

1. Choose an SEO-Friendly WordPress Theme

Your website’s theme plays a crucial role in its performance and search engine ranking. A well-coded, SEO-friendly theme ensures your site is fast, mobile-responsive, and easily crawlable by search engines.

Look for themes with clean code, fast loading times, and responsive design.

Recommended themes: Astra, GeneratePress, and Neve.

Use Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test to ensure your theme is optimised for mobile users.

2. Set Up Permalinks Correctly

Permalinks are the URLs for your posts and pages. SEO-friendly URLs should be descriptive, clean, and include relevant keywords.

Navigate to Settings > Permalinks in your WordPress dashboard.

Select the Post Name option for a cleaner URL structure (e.g., www.yourwebsite.com/sample-post).

3. Install an SEO Plugin

SEO plugins simplify the process of optimising your site. They provide tools to manage meta descriptions, titles, XML sitemaps, and more.

Recommended SEO Plugins:

Yoast SEO: Offers comprehensive tools for on-page SEO.

Rank Math: A lightweight plugin with advanced features like schema markup and keyword analysis.

All in One SEO Pack: Great for beginners and advanced users alike.

4. Conduct Keyword Research

Keyword research helps you understand what your audience is searching for and ensures your content aligns with their needs.

Tools for Keyword Research:

Google Keyword Planner

Ahrefs

SEMrush

Ubersuggest

Focus on long-tail keywords with lower competition for better chances of ranking.

5. Optimise Your Titles and Meta Descriptions

Meta titles and descriptions appear in search engine results and influence click-through rates.

Best Practices:

Include your primary keyword in the title and meta description.

Keep the title under 60 characters and meta description under 160 characters.

Make your meta descriptions compelling and actionable.

Example:

Title: “The Ultimate WordPress SEO Guide for 2025”

Meta Description: “Learn proven strategies to optimise your WordPress website for SEO in 2025. Boost rankings, traffic, and conversions today!”

6. Use Heading Tags Strategically

Heading tags (H1, H2, H3, etc.) structure your content and improve readability for both users and search engines.

Use one H1 tag per page (usually the title of the post).

Break up content with H2 and H3 tags for subheadings.

Include keywords naturally in your headings.

7. Optimise Images for SEO

Images are essential for engagement but can slow down your site if not optimised. Proper image optimisation improves load times and enhances SEO.

Best Practices:

Compress images using tools like TinyPNG or plugins like Smush.

Use descriptive filenames (e.g., seo-checklist-2025.jpg).

Add alt text to images, including relevant keywords.

8. Leverage Internal Linking

Internal links connect your content, making it easier for users and search engines to navigate your site.

Link to relevant posts and pages within your content.

Use descriptive anchor text that includes keywords (e.g., “Learn more about [WordPress SEO tips].”).

Avoid overloading pages with too many internal links.

9. Create a Sitemap and Submit it to Search Engines

An XML sitemap helps search engines crawl and index your site efficiently.

Use your SEO plugin (e.g., Yoast SEO or Rank Math) to generate a sitemap automatically.

Submit your sitemap to search engines:

Google: Use Google Search Console.

Bing: Use Bing Webmaster Tools.

10. Enable Gzip Compression and Browser Caching

Faster websites rank better and provide a superior user experience. Gzip compression and browser caching reduce file sizes and load times.

Install plugins like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache to enable these features.

Test your site speed using tools like Google PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix.

11. Secure Your Website with HTTPS

Search engines prioritise secure websites. Installing an SSL certificate ensures your site uses HTTPS, which is critical for both SEO and user trust.

Most hosting providers offer free SSL certificates.

Verify your SSL installation using tools like Why No Padlock?.

12. Write High-Quality, Engaging Content

Content remains king in SEO. Search engines favour websites that provide value to users.

Focus on creating long-form, in-depth articles (1,000+ words) for competitive topics.

Address your audience’s pain points and provide actionable solutions.

Update older content regularly to keep it fresh and relevant.

13. Enable Mobile Responsiveness

With mobile-first indexing, Google ranks mobile-friendly sites higher. Ensure your site works seamlessly on all devices.

Test your website using Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test.

Use responsive themes and optimise media for smaller screens.

14. Use Schema Markup

Schema markup enhances your site’s appearance in search results by adding rich snippets (e.g., star ratings, FAQs, and product details).

Add schema markup using plugins like Schema Pro or Rank Math.

Test your structured data using Google’s Rich Results Test.

15. Improve Website Load Times

Slow websites lead to higher bounce rates and lower rankings. Optimising for speed is critical in 2025.

Key Strategies:

Use a caching plugin (e.g., WP Rocket).

Minify CSS, JavaScript, and HTML files using Autoptimize.

Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) like Cloudflare.

16. Optimise for Local SEO

If your business serves a specific geographic area, local SEO is essential.

Set up and optimise your Google My Business profile.

Include local keywords in your content (e.g., “best café in London”).

Add your address, phone number, and operating hours to your website.

17. Monitor and Fix Broken Links

Broken links frustrate users and can harm SEO.

Use plugins like Broken Link Checker to identify and fix broken links.

Regularly audit your website for outdated or incorrect links.

18. Integrate Social Media Sharing

Social signals may not directly impact SEO, but they drive traffic and increase brand visibility.

Use plugins like Social Warfare or AddToAny to add social sharing buttons.

Encourage visitors to share your content on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

19. Monitor Website Analytics

Tracking your website’s performance helps identify areas for improvement.

Use Google Analytics to monitor traffic, bounce rates, and user behaviour.

Combine with Google Search Console to track keyword rankings and indexation issues.

20. Keep Your Website Updated

Regular updates ensure your WordPress core, themes, and plugins are secure and compatible with the latest SEO standards.

Enable automatic updates where possible.

Use a staging site to test updates before applying them to your live site.

Conclusion

Optimising your WordPress website for SEO in 2025 requires a combination of technical adjustments, content strategy, and ongoing maintenance. By following this comprehensive checklist, you’ll ensure your site not only ranks higher in search engines but also delivers a seamless user experience.

SEO is an ongoing process, so regularly audit your site, stay updated on SEO trends, and make adjustments as needed. With the right approach, your WordPress website can become a powerful tool for driving organic traffic and achieving your business goals.

Dilation and Curettage Specialist

Important Information You Need to Know From a Dilation and Curettage Specialist in Greenbelt, Maryland

It’s true that knowledge is power, and that’s especially true if you’re facing a medical procedure. If you know what to expect, it really does help calm your mind.

Your dilation and curettage specialist in Greenbelt, Maryland doesn’t want you to worry. Here’s how the procedure works, how to prepare for your procedure, and info about recovery.

What Is Dilation and Curettage?

Dilation and curettage, or D and C, is a minor surgical procedure that dilates your cervix. Once your cervix is opened, your specialist will use a tool shaped a bit like a spoon to remove tissue from your uterus.

Why Do I Need a D and C?

There are many reasons why a woman might need a D and C. Some of the most common reasons include:

Elective abortion

IUD removal

Fibroid removal (non-cancerous growths)

Miscarriage

Removal of infected tissue (a common occurrence with pelvic inflammatory disease)

Removal of potentially cancerous tumors for examination

To figure out the cause of heavy bleeding

How Do I Prepare for Dilation and Curettage?

You’ll be given full instructions from your dilation and curettage specialist in Greenbelt, Maryland. After an exam, you’ll likely be asked to avoid eating and drinking before surgery, as well as visit your specialist to begin the process of opening your cervix (this is done with a special gel.) You should plan to take a day or two of rest, and arrange to have a ride home.

How Long Does It Take to Recover From Dilation and Curettage?

You’ll experience some cramping and light bleeding after your procedure, but it’s important you move around as much as you comfortably can. This is done to keep your muscles strong and prevent blood clots.

It will be a few days before you can take a bath, have intercourse, or douche. However, many women find they are able to return to work and normal daily activities within a couple of days.
