Bienvenue sur le site Nihon.fr.st

Après plus de 10.000 visiteurs sur ce site utilisant la version 1.7.2 de SPIP, ce site est passé en version 1.8.2. Cette mise à jour de SPIP apporte pas mal de nouvelles fonctionnalités que j’ai hâté d’utiliser pour ce site. Merci de vos visites et merci aux développeurs de SPIP.

Le site officiel de SPIP

Tous les textes de l’ancienne version du site ont été remis dans cette version. Il faut maintenant que j’y insère les images... Sinon, la traduction en version anglaise et espaganole a commencé.

Un peu de patience, le site revient... En effet, depuis plus d’un an, il n’avait pas été mis à jour.Et celà fait deux ans que le site n’évoluait presque plus.

La version SPIP permettra de donner un nouveau souffle au site,

surtout avec les versions traduites.
