- Halloween Theme Has Arrived! The
front page of the Webkinz Newz is announcing the arrival of the
Halloween Theme. I was not able to get the W-Shop to load so I
couldn't see it. But there are pictures of the theme on the front
of Webkinz Insider, so if you are also having trouble loading the W-Shop, check them out. There are some new items, and some old.
- Brand New Exclusives Are Here!
A Wading Pool, an Antique Mirror, and a Dancing Zingoz have been
added to the Exclusives! Apparently, the Antique Mirror does
something special if you click on it.
- There is a New Feature in My Page.
Somebody will be featured every day as the Member of the Day.
You could be featured any day! You will get a trophy
if you are chosen. You must have your "My Page" set up in
order to be eligible. So set it up, and keep visiting each day to
see if you win!
- Other
changes have been made today in Webkinz World. Many of the
buttons that used to have words on them no longer have words, but have
symbols now instead. For example, where it used to say "My Pets"
below your pet's portrait, there is now just a symbol of a pet with a
plus sign. And instead of "My Pet's Bio" and Adoption
Certificate, there are now just symbols there. I am wondering if
this may be related to the poll that was taken a little while back,
asking if you were 5 years old or younger, if you had a brother or
sister that age, or if you are a parent with a child that age.
Perhaps they discovered that there are a lot of children that age
on Webkinz and wanted to make it easier for them. So instead of
words, they are using some symbols now. That's just a guess on my
part.
- The W-Shop's layout has changed. But I can't get it to load, so I can't tell you much more!
- I
am recovering from a severe reaction to a medication I was on. So
please say a prayer for me, if you are the praying type! ;-)
