Peace message advertisement

As we uploaded the new picture book ‘We are special!’yesterday, we have started a new opinion advertisement as follows on Google.

--------------------------------------------
We are special
If you regard someone as your enemy
they'll regard you as their enemy!
----------------------------------------------

The max number of letters is restricted to 35 letters, and so, I am not 100% happy with the above message, but I would say it’s OK.
I also made 20-30 links to the picture book from the pages in the main site today.

Uploaded new picture book- We are special!

I have uploaded the English version of my picture book, “We are special!” of which theme is victim consciousness and elitism.
It is very important to sort out these complications in human minds to achieve world peace, I believe.
I also put the web mail on the last page, hoping to get some responses from readers.
I have not made a link to the picture book from the top page of www.peace-picturebook yet.
Maybe I can do it in a couple of days.

First 5 pages

I have finished the first 5 pages of "We are special!", the new English picture book.
The first page and the second page are the most time consuming. It took me almost 2 days.
From page 3, it becomes much easier. I am hoping to upload this new picture book in a couple of days.

We want to add a message advertisement for this picture book as well.

We're special!

Today I have been working for a new picture book, ‘We are special!’
The original Japanese version is already on our Japanese web. We have finished the translation, so, what we need to do now is to create English web pages.
It is not only about translation; there are many small differences such as the definition of letters, ‘charset’.
The work is not difficult but a bit nerve-wracking and time consuming.
The new picture book is about a sense of victimization.
The illusion created by the feeling may easily cause new conflicts including wars and terrorism, so, the theme of the picture book is quite important for world peace, I believe.

How to increase the traffic...

As a peace movement, it is very important to increase the traffic to the main web, www.peace-picturebook.org.
There are currently not many accesses to the web. There are only few links to the web, either.

We have been advertising through internet such as Google; however, there is obviously a ceiling of the budget.

Well…, it is not easy.

What I can do at the moment is to add a new picture book on the web and to improve the section on the web about the book, ‘Good and Evil Addiction.’
We have one picture book, ‘We are special!’, which we put on the Japanese web but not in the English version yet.
I hope that more pages in the main web will help to increase the traffic.

Or maybe we can spend more money for the ad. for a certain period, such as one month to kick the traffic up.

Web-mail

To get readers' responses, I have installed a web-mail program on the last page of our picture book, "Which". Anybody who wants send a mail to us, he/she should be able to do so easily by using this program.
I am using this program on the original Japanese web as well. So I am familiar with the program (This is why I used it) , however, this program is written by Japanese based font.

I think it can work with PCs which do not have Japanese font, but I am not 100% certain.
Well, it is not easy to across language border...

It is appreciated if you could visit the above page and send your message to us using the web-mail.

New Blog

Now I have almost finished customizing this blog format. I am familiar with changing the format of Japanese FC2 Blog system, but this is first time for me to use this Blogger system.
Its program is very different from Japanese one and was very difficult to customize for me. I do not even have enough skill to put 'footer' on the blog; I could not put our logo, neither.
Anyway I cannot spend too much time for customizing.
Let me compromise for the time being.

The next step is to write many articles on the web until it has some volume.
We also want to put web-mail (cgi) on our English web in order to get readers’ feedback.

There are so many things to do!(^0^;)

New picture book 'Evil and Punishment'

I have uploaded my new picture book, 'Evil and Punishment' on our Japanese original web.
For English web, I need to translate it.

For every picture book we published on our English web, we have asked native English speakers to check it. So it takes some time for the English version.

However if you are interested in the new picture book, you may enjoy it by using translation tool.

This is the new picture book, 'Evil and Punishment' in Japanese version.
