Webosaurs Blog

As many of you know, we’re in the middle of some giant updates to the site. A crucial part of making these updates happen is the role the Blogosaurs play in helping us test and giving us their feedback. These dedicated bloggers not only pour hours of time into their awesome blogs but also help us make new features better for all of you.

To say thank you to these awesome dinos, we’re going to throw a party this Saturday at 12:00 WST at the Giant Umbrella in the Understory Layer, Jurassic server. Come and meet all the Blogosaurs and hear what they are all about in their own words. I’ll be giving out packs of coin codes to Blogosaurs who contact me before the party to give away.

Beyond the coin codes though, this is a great chance to talk to the Blogosaurs about what they do, how they make such awesome blogs. In this day and age blogging is such a huge part of communication and these guys have a serious head start in life. Come play, get some coin codes and learn how you could become a Blogosaur too.

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.

Hey everyone,

Round 2 – This time we’re going to award FIVE blogs with a set of 10 coin codes each.

Here’s how to get them – in the comments below, write the URL of your Webosaurs blog and tell us why your blog deserves to win a pack of coin code and how you are planning to give them away.

This weekend we’ll send the winners their codes and announce them on the blog, along with the contests they’ll be having. Be sure to include your correct email in the comment [it's a required field, no need to post in the body of the comment] so we know where to send the codes.

Best,

Rex
