My very first website I ever created, was with Geocities, and it was dedicated to my favorite game of all time (to this day still), Final Fantasy VII. This is around the time I had my first computer, I remember writing about news on Final Fantasy X, the first bits of coverage released for it.

My second site was in HTML, and was called Final Fantasy Fayth. I had a good friend of mine create the layout and banners, and I created the content. This soon evolved into a larger site which I called Cross Blade.

Cross Blade was my first website that I did all on my own, and in PHP. It made creating content much easier on me, and I had a lot of it. My design was unique, and dare I say a mold for future websites, other websites often praised me for my unique design.

Cross blade was around for several years before I converted it into a Final Fantasy 11 website, dedicated to my first MMORPG that I ever played (and still do on and off). I dumped that, and came out with net-slum.net.

After net-slum, I made a site called radiatastories.com, which was for the upcoming game by Square Enix, Radiata Stories. It was the top website for RS, and was very popular. Due to issues with my ex, I lost the domain, AND the website.

I later made a website called Square Harmony, to be dedicated to everything Square Enix related. I loved it, the design, the content, it was all so pure. But due to not having any money, I lost the domain name, and the person I was hosted with decided to take my hosting away.

I created .hack//Portal. And never plan on letting it go.

My love for RPG's is no secret, especially when it comes to Final Fantasy. I have so much content left over from my previous websites, it would be a shame to let it all go to waste.

I created Square Fragment. http://www.squarefragment.com/

This will be the ultimate resource for Square Enix news, media, and content. Anyone can create content from the comfort of their own home, any computer, without having to know PHP, HTML, or any coding. You don't need access to the server, all thanks to Drupal.

I chose Drupal as a project to expand my knowledge with content management systems, and i'm sure it will catch on in the online RPG gaming website world. The most popular right now, is Wordpress. People base their main page, or even their entire site off Wordpress due to its great comment and news system. Drupal can achieve the same results, with a more complex way of adding content, images, videos, and more.

I will be working on this website when I just don't feel motivated to work on .hack content. If you share a passion for the games by Square Enix, then give me a PM if you would be interested in joining me with this project!

There is no limit or minimum to how much content you can provide. If your doing such a great job as a Content Writer, your position can be upgraded to more roles and permissions. Eventually, you may become an Admin such as myself!

You've seen the success of .hack//Portal, Squre Fragment can, and will be the same, be apart of it! Just PM me if you are interested.

If it's anything like this site you'll be a huge success. There should be more members too, seeing as it's something as huge as Final Fantasy. Good luck with it!

At the moment, our sites are switching servers, including SF. There has been an issue with people signing up and receiving their passwords via e-mail, this should be fixed with the move!

Apologies for the inconvenience, I will be sure to reply to this thread when people can register!

If you haven't been to Square Fragment in a while, I have added several new sections, tons of artwork/images/magazine scans, and news. The site is looking more and more full each day, and updating it is very easy and quick. It's not too late to join the SF team if you are a fan of Square Enix games.

There are many positions available, which don't take much time at all, and its easy. More importantly your providing quality information and media to the public! Here is an outline of some positions that are available plus tasks.

Content Writer

Your role is to create content for Square Fragment. Anything you produce will be in your name, so credit is always dealt to the rightful provider. Your following roles involve:



Synopsis Creation



Character Biographies



Armor List & Descriptions



Weapon List & Descriptions



Item List & Descriptions



Anything related to content!


We need content for:



Blood of Bahamut (http://www.squarefragment.com/node/396)
Dirge of Cerberus (http://www.squarefragment.com/node/208)
Dissidia: Final Fantasy (http://www.squarefragment.com/node/10)
Dragon Quest IX (http://www.squarefragment.com/node/394)
Final Fantasy VI (http://squarefragment.com/node/221)
Final Fantasy VII (http://www.squarefragment.com/node/2)
Final Fantasy VIII (http://www.squarefragment.com/node/216)
Final Fantasy IX (http://www.squarefragment.com/node/219)
Final Fantasy X (http://squarefragment.com/node/212)
Final Fantasy X-2 (http://www.squarefragment.com/node/214)
Final Fantasy XII (http://www.squarefragment.com/node/211)
Final Fantasy XIII (http://www.squarefragment.com/node/210)
Star Ocean: The Last Hope (http://www.squarefragment.com/node/645)
Valkyrie Profile: CotP (http://squarefragment.com/node/15)


New sections are created regularly, so be sure to check back often to ensure you are the writer for the section of your choice!

News Writer

Just as the title indicates, you will be in charge of finding the latest news for Square Enix, and sharing it with the world! Not many sites have a full compilation of recent news, and most sites, 90% of them, only update once every couple of days. We need to be the best resource for news, and SF needs you!



Creation of News



Finding the most recent news available

Sites thrive on news, be the best news writer around as apart of Square Fragment.


Media Hunter

Just as the title implies, you will be a hunter...for media! Media is a big part of Square Fragment, I would say more than half of the website is run by media! We specialize in non-logo images/artwork/magazine scans/high res pictures/wallpapers and anything to do with media for our beloved Square Enix games.

Finding high quality images, with no logos.
Finding rare, rarely seen images
Finding images with a logo that you've never seen anywhere else

If there is a logo on an image, thats OK. If its rare, its ours! Once the media is gathered, you will zip it and send it to me for adding. Or, if you feel you can take on the task of uploading the images, I will describe to you in detail the ways of Drupal, and you can do so yourself!


Feel free to register an account at: http://www.squarefragment.com/user/register, and send me an e-mail with your desired role. Contact me at: webmaster@squarefragment.com

I hope to hear from you soon!
