Goodbye :(

I've sort of been thinking about this for a while, but Kinyonga sort of (unintentionally) pushed me to it. Don't worry, that's not a bad thing. ;)


But yeah....

I'm quitting Animal Jam.

I've sort of unofficially quit AJ (I haven't been on in forever) already.

If you want to know a list of reasons why I'm quitting AJ, I'll sum it up:


  • Rares
  • Hacking
  • Scamming
  • People (90% of them act as a reflection of today's society, which is not a good thing.)
  • Just not interested
  • More interesting things
I'll also stop posting on this blog. I was thinking about hiring an author for it, if anyone was interested, but I doubt it. :P

But, I will leave it up, even if I can't find an author for it.

However, I am not quitting blogging all together.

I still have my (new) main blog: Ode to a Dalek, which is like a journal-type blog.

I also post on a few other blogs. :)

I have an account on a website called Wattpad, which is an excellent website for aspiring authors and writers. :)
My user is CatInAnOvercoat

I also have a Minecraft account. Minecraft is a paid game, but it is TOTALLY WORTH IT if you love creating and imagining. :)
People think that it is all about killing monsters and stuff, but it isn't. 

Here's a good server (for those who play it) that I recommend for building that I play on: eirecraft.mymc.io
My user is cheesevms915

I may get on AJ one more time to give away my items....
I will still read AJ blogs, but I won't follow any new ones, probably.

If you are looking for a blog with fresh, new graphics, I recommend Sol Lucet in Jamaa :)


So....

Signing out from here for the last time,

Rly?

Really?

This is what Animal Jam Headquarters is sinking to?

Encouraging violent sports? (violent in a relative sense, of course)

First we had the football items...

Now this?

Hockey?

Next we'll have rugby items. .-.

Forget the humanization of Jamaa....talk about the sport-ification of Jamaa!

How to Pimp Your Blog: Like a Boss

Here are a few simple steps you can take to make your blog



  1. Here is a list of pages you can add to your blog that are easy to make, and will add some extra awesome to your blog! :)

    • Animal Facts: a collection of all of the animal facts that can be found in Jamaa
    • About Me: a page of information about yourself, so that you can better relate to your readers. :)
    • Adventure Tutorials: a collection of picture or video tutorials of the adventures
    • Funny Pics: a collection of funny pictures or comics taken by yourself around Jamaa
    • Commissions: do you have a skill? You can do commissions on things like Animal Portraits, blog headers, etc.
    • Codes: list of active (and possibly inactive) codes
    • Animal Jam Blogs: list of other AJ blogs
  2. An icon. Make your blog more recognizable with a unique icon, or use a standard AJ logo, such as the green paw or paw icon. If you make your own, make sure it is a square image, and not too big.
  3. The more widgets, the better! Although this is not true if you add junky widgets...only widgets that contribute to your overall blog. Here is a list of (in my opinion) essential and not great widgets:
    • Essential:
      • Followers
      • Blog Archive
      • Search Bar
      • Pages
      • Profile
    • Non-Essential (but highly recommended to make your blog look nicer):
      • Images
      • Text
      • Translate
      • Poll
      • Blog List
      • Labels
      • Contact Form
      • Blog stats
    • Not recommended widgets for a blog, if you want it to look semi-professional to professional (you can still add these, but your blog won't necessarily look as nice, though it still might) :
      • Video bar with irrelevant videos or videos where the keyword was "animal jam"
      • Calendar (there is one widget in particular that does something weird to the page)
      • Fish--cute, but depending on your blog's look, won't add to the overall feeling.
      • Animated pets--like the fish, cute, but sort of have the feeling of "I need more widgets to add so this is just filler"
  4. Customize your FULL template. Go into "Template" and "Customize" and pick out colors that suit your blog. You can do seasonal themes, or pick one, solid, constant theme. Pick colors that will be easy to read.
  5. Add a custom cursor, but nothing too flashy or something that makes your screen lag. Visit the Commissions page if you want me to do it for you for free. :)
  6. Change the Anonymous picture to something cool. Visit the Commissions page if you want me to do it for you for free. :)
  7. Create a stylish header, not just words, or a picture taken from Animal Jam  with a few words overlayed (although in some cases, this works fine :]). If you make a header, try and make it the width of the blog, so it fits exactly. Visit the Commissions page if you want me to do it for you for free. :)
  8. Some page layouts work better for certain blogs. Find one that works for you.
I hope those tips are useful! :)

Two Kinds of Graphics Commissions

Hola!


So, I've noticed that people have basically been copying the Graphics page and pasting it onto their blog.

Which is fine, except [see previous post]

So, I can do it for you! :)

All you have to do is email me at cheesevms915@gmail.com and tell me that you want your very own graphics page, and I will make a graphics page, using the graphics that I have found, personalized for your blog, so that you don't have all of the useless graphics that I have found, or you can have only purple graphics, or only animal graphics, etc.

I will be glad to do it for you!

Guarantees:
Will look (semi-) professional
Will look (semi-) cool
Will add (semi-) cool stuff to your blog

But wait--there's more!

I am also offering another commission...

I can do sidebar links, using the graphics! Again, just email me at cheesevms915@gmail.com, and I will link some or all of your pages using graphics! In my opinion...

8)


Commissions are 127% Free! 


Why Thank You, David Tennant.

:)

Okay, so I have put the Graphics page back up, and all of the Graphics posts. Even though some people still haven't figured some things out yet. :|


So, I will say this for the umpteenth time: PLEASE, if you any graphics on the graphics page that say that I hand-made them, PLEASE give AJ Nox credit!

Again, this is not me trying to be all bratty and "my blog has less views than urs so i shuld get moar!"

It's just EXTREMELY frustrating when you take time to make something, and then people just take it without acknowledgement when you SPECIFICALLY asked for it. :|

Yes, this does include if you use the graphics on the page to make your own graphics page. I have no problem with that, just please say something along the lines of "Graphics on this page taken from Animal Jam Nox"


Now, I would not call myself tactless, meaning I am not the person who would see my graphics on your blog, without credit, and go all "!#$%@#$^@$%^#$%^%$#&$%#^%$#^%$#$^$# GIVE ME CREDIT NOW OR U R DOOMED I WILL HAUNT YOU UNTIL THE END OF YOUR MISERABLE LIFE !$#%#$@%^#$^%#$&%^&%$^&$%^&$%^&$%^&&@$#%@#%#$ AND THEN HACK U ON AJ"

Yeah....I won't do that.

Maybe.

:3

I won't, though. ;)




I'm not that concerned with people taking them without giving credit. (now you're probably like "WUT? THAT'S WHAT THIS WHOLE !#@$%@#$% POST IS ABOUT!!!!!"


I'm just raising a stink (as my mother would say) because I specifically mention to give meh credit. People don't read. :|


So, if you are visiting the graphics page with the intention of using my hand-made graphics, you taking the time to read several words would be much appreciated.

Now, not everyone does this. I would like to give a shoutout to Nafaria9!
This is on her blog! A huge thank-you to Nafaria9 for being able to read! :D


It doesn't even have to be that explicit! You can just add somewhere in a post (most graphics taken from AJ Nox).

So, when I come to your blog and see you used them, I just search and find where you gave me credit. :)
It isn't just Nafaria...I would like to give a huge Bofur-hug to everyone who took time to read the full page. :)
I would like to show my enormous gratitude to you. :)

The least I can do is shower you with Bofur gifs. :D




gah oMo

Anyway...after that brief, awesome intermission...

The graphics before the homemade ones, however, DO NOT require credit, as anyone with a basic knowledge of HTML can access them. :)
So, it would be wrong to take credit for them.



Okay...I'm done ranting. All I ask is please...it doesn't take that long to read a sentence or two.
