Webosaurs Blog

New badge highlighted in yellow

Hey gang! We’re happy to introduce a brand new program for all of you awesome bloggers on the island. It’s called the Blogosaurs! We want to reward all of the effort you’ve put into your blogs and raise the bar for those that want to follow in your path. The Blogosaur badge is for dinos that have proven their hard work with a well maintained Webosaurs blog!

Perks of being a Blogosaur:

* Have your blog featured on the blogroll

* Awesome Blogosaur badge for your player profile

* Gain access to a special testing site where you will be able to try out new features and give us feedback before they come out!

Requirements for becoming a Blogosaur:

**Blog Owners**

1) Have had your blog active for at least 1 month

2) Continue to post at least once a week

3) Link to www.webosaurs.com somewhere on the main page (a widget counts)

**Blog Authors**

1) Have been posting on another player’s blog for at least 1 month

2) Continue to post at least twice a week

Blogroll

From now on, all blogs featured on the blogroll will be Blogosaur blogs. We are so lucky to have as many awesome bloggers as we do, and we want to make sure that those putting in the most work get recognition for their efforts. We’ll start making this change a week from now to give everyone enough time to submit their application.

Testing Site

This is not active yet, but we will let you know once it is fully set up and ready to go. Blogosaurs will be able to come into the testing site and try out new features before we release them to the rest of the Island. You’re input and feedback will help us to make the new updates into exactly what you need. Although screenshots will not be allowed from the testing site, you will be free to write about the things you are testing out.

New Blogs

Did you end up making a new blog? Have you worked on another blog but now you write for a new one instead? As long as you can prove you’ve met the requirements we will still hook you up with a Blogosaur badge.

——-

Sound good? You’ll need to apply to become a Blogosaur. Post your Webosaurs username and the URL to your blog as a comment on this post. Please indicate whether you are a blog owner or an author. Any extra proof that you meet these requirements will help us award the badge to you sooner. In order to keep your badge you must stay consistent with these requirements (although we do understand if you have to take some occasional time off, of course. That’s what extra authors are for!).

Please understand that it will take a few days to go over all of the applications and check to make sure that you meet the requirements. We’ll start giving out badges as soon as possible.

Utahraptor - still the king of the Dromaeosaurs

Q: What was the biggest raptor? -Repticore5 (I believe it was Sinraptor - Shadowflyer)

A: Heyyy… very good call Shadowflyer. Standing nearly 10 feet tall (3 meters) and roughly 25 feet (7.6 meters) in length, it would appear that Sinraptor is actually bigger than the other raptors. After all, Utahraptor is only 23 feet (7 m) long. Could this be the new biggest raptor of them all?

Sorry Charlie

Turns out that Sinraptor isn’t actually a raptor. Sure, it’s called a raptor (which means “thief” in latin) and it kind of looks like a raptor. However, it isn’t a member of the Dromaeosaurids. If you remember, Dromaeosaurs are what we usually refer to as “raptors.” Sinraptor was just your regular ol’ theropod, but we bet he was still pretty scary to cross.

So there you go… Utahraptor with his giant claw and menacing reputation still remains the king of the raptors!

Guess what Webosaurs! It’s time for another best cave contest! Yaaaaayyyy! Since this week is the countdown to the Rexxy awards, I think it will be fun if the theme is inspired by the dino of the week - our friend Rexxy. So let’s see wacha got dino dudes. Decorate your cave in a way Rexxy would like and he and I will judge our most favorite.

Winners for both member and nonmember caves will receive a sweeeet cave banner and their caves will be featured here in the blog. So get crakin’. We start the judging on Friday.

Good luck!

WOOT! It’s time to have our first ever official party at the brand new Understory Layer. We’re going to be celebrating at the Giant Umbrella with a bluggin’ karaoke night! Rexxy will be on hand to hang out and watch you step up to the mic and deliver a rendition of your favorite song, Webosaurs style.

It’s not just going to be singing though as we want an all out fiesta! We’ll need chefs, waiters and hosts to run the evening and for the rest of you to enjoy yourselves. You could even take a turn as the Karaoke night MC, calling up dinos to the stage to belt out their favorite tunes.

If you haven’t unlocked the Understory Layer yet, be sure to check out the quest that can be found at the Forest Floor.

See you this Friday… 17:30 WST on the Jurassic server. It’s going to rock.

We’ve picked five of our favorite (and doable) ideas from the ones you guys gave. We may end up just doing all of them at some point but let’s vote, just for the fun of it

 Loading ...

Hey guys…

We’ve done this a few times but just wanted to get some ideas out of you. We’re starting to draw up some of the new cave items to be used in scavenger hunts over the next month and we wanted to get your ideas.

There is already a St. Patrick’s Day item planned, so don’t worry about that… but we’d like to know what else we can do for you. Keep in mind we want to have the items animated too, so think of a simple action or something they could do.

Whatever you want just let us know! We may do a poll or something, maybe not. Stay tuned dudes and dudettes!

Duuuuudes. We had so much fun playing dance party on Saturday! There was a bluggin’ tourney at the Tonto Plateau and so many dino dudes came out to get their groove on. We saw some serious domination on the dance floor and after about 20 tourney rounds, we had our winners!

1st Place: Chipmunk
2nd Place: Crusherd
3rd Place: Sludge

And get this dudes! At the end, our friend Chip gave his gold trophy to Crusherd, and Crusherd traded for his silver trophy. What a generous broceratops!!

See you on the dance floor dinos,
Your buddy Stretch
