[ The domain ] Site information and history

My passion for web design began in 2002 in a computers class in junior high. Our project was to make our own webpage for the school website and because I didn't know how to use the program and stuff it really sucked. I was really excited about it though, haha. After that a spark was ignited and I wanted to learn how to do it. After some incentive from a friend who also wanted to mess with that stuff I got myself started. My very first website opened on December 9, 2002 and it was totally amateurish. It was a mesh of various fandoms (like Harvest Moon and Cardcaptors just to name a few). I closed it a couple weeks later however and opened up a Cardcaptors (yes, Cardcaptors) fansite the following month. That site lasted several months and then I discovered fanlistings and also opened up a Legend of Zelda fansite which I kept for a good couple years. After that I got ZerudaORG and then it continues on from there.

ZerudaORG was purchased on May 14, 2006 from GoDaddy and officially opened on May 18, 2006. The name was a spur of the moment type thing and I had originally planned on using a different name. After messing around the night before I had noticed zeruda.org was available so I went with it. Now, if you didn't know already, Zeruda is the Japanese pronunciation of the name Zelda, a name some may remember as the princess of The Legend of Zelda series. Well, the domain was named after her, although since then it has become the namesake of one of my main characters on World of Warcraft (because I suck at coming up with names) and since then has become a very personal name for me.

[ The layout ] Layout information and credits

Currently we are on version 21 of the site which features (from left to right) Renji Abarai, Rukia Kuchiki, Ichigo Kurosaki, and Orihime Inoue from the animanga series Bleach. It was made by me using Adobe Photoshop and coded in Notepad. The fonts used are called Century Gothic and Times New Romain and were default with my computer. The image used was found at Anime Paper and patterns used (although difficult to see) where made by me. The occasional lyrics you see around the site are from the song *~Asterisk~ by ORANGE RANGE. Just because the image reminds me of that song.

[ The webmaster ] About the runt girl

Well hello there, my name is Crystal. I also like to be called Zeruda but I'll mostly respond to that name on the MMO World of Warcraft because that is the name of my main character. I currently reside in the great white north known as Alberta, Canada and absolutely love it here. As of March 14, 2011 I am 25 years old and am a Pisces / Tiger (depending on what you wanna go with). I am a rather peculiar girl who doesn't like to get interested in a bunch of things but when I do find something I like I get rather passionate about it. Currently that includes Fruits Basket, Bleach, The Legend of Zelda, Fire Emblem, World of Warcraft, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Castle, and Firefly. My taste of music is rather strange as well as I will mainly listen to Country music or video game soundtracks and remixes -- especially that of The Legend of Zelda and Banjo Kazooie. I also like to draw, write, play video games, and daydream.
