Animal Jam Academy?!

Hey animals! Today is monday, so I'm probably gonna be late for school typing this post. (I guess that's the price you have to pay for such an INCREDIBLE blog!)

The rare item monday is underwater, so naturally it would appear in Bahari Bargains!

Y'know, in case any of you wanna dive into freezing cold water in the dead of Jamaa winter. Any polar bears out there?

Now, onto the main (and most exciting!) point of this post: animal jam academy!

And before anyone says anything about it, yes I did take this info from another blog. It's my job to keep y'all informed of everything animal jam and besides, I couldn't have figured it out myself.

Have you ever seen a little owl logo in the corner of an AJ download? That's because they're part of Animal Jam Academy, a large collection of downloads, including word searches, mazes, and the most recent Brady Barr video. Very helpful, you think?

That's all for now, 

Have a jamtastic week!

Hey animals! I hope you're having a great weekend and a great week. :)

Thanks for your supportive comments on my last post, and no, I won't leave blogging or animal jam anytime soon. ^_^ Like I said, I've just gotten back into the swing of it. (A seemingly steady flow of daily posts from me and a new Berry the Koala :O let's hope this lasts long!)

Today's new item goes nicely in a set with yesterday's:

The super cute buttoned topcoat!

I have something (a lot, actually) just like this in real life, only they're black. ^_^

Pick this up in Jam Mart Clothing today!

New on the D. E., a very helpful post regarding chat has been published!

You may have trouble reading. If you like, you can click the image to enlarge it slightly, or go to blog.animaljam.com to view it. Remember to highlight the text that I did in this image! Strangely, it didn't show up in dark text like the rest.

This post is about, as the title says, having trouble with chatting. Not getting your words across. Not having the text show up to your friend, but showing up to you. We've all been there, right?

Sometimes you type a word that you think is perfectly okay, but you get a chat warning. "It doesn't look like the conversation you're having it appropriate!" It was either a glitch, or you did in fact type something, but separated by other characters, but it was still detected!

In that case, try rewording what you were trying to say.

Other times you can say something that was perfectly okay, it appeared in it's chat bubble to you, but not to anyone else! This is a simple glitch, and to avoid it either try rewording what you are trying to say, or say it

one

word

at

a

time

like

this

.

It's happened to me so many times. You just get used to it and work around it. ^_^

As another notice, I think I'll start updating Berry the Koala once a month. I know where the story is going, and I know you have been asking and asking for me to end it's hiatus. Good news! With the last post on Berry the Koala, the hiatus is over. Once a month I'll post on it, and since february's just around the corner, expect another Berry post soon!

That's all for now,

see you in Jamaa!

Is Anyone There? (Long post)

Is anyone still there?

I'm not getting as many views as I used to, and I've been noticing some other animal jam blogs shutting down. I google searched "animal jam blog" and almost all of the blogs that came up had either shut down or had a "quitting" message at the beginning.

Just when I get back into blogging, everyone decides to leave. Hmph. 

>:\

I remember when I started AJ Stream, pretty much everyone I talked to had some sort of a frequently updated blog about AJ! Now they're all gone, including many of the ones in my "more blogs" list.

To be honest, I think many of the people with blogs have been around AJ for a long while. They think they've seen it all and quit because they aren't excited about where it's going.

I'm not excited about being alone on my blogger dashboard. At all. People are quitting animal jam rapidly and as I know, the first step towards a website shutting down is a drop in users, a drop in memberships, a drop in cash flow. 

I don't have friends right now (IRL) and the only thing that I'm excited about are online games. Particularly this one. I need this website to stay running.

So please, AJHQ, please let 2014 be full of surprises that bring everyone back. (You're not reading this, I kno. lol.)

I don't want any of you to go.

New Item – Furry Hat

Hey animals! If you haven't already noticed, I updated the Other Blogs list so now it's in alphabetical order. If you wanna check out some great blogs, click here!

The new item of today is perfect for the ever chilling weather: the furry hat!

Go to Jam Mart Clothing to pick this up today! ^_^

If you're having trouble with the Temple of Zios journey book, AJHQ has published a page about it that may or may not be useful.

This is good for new players who don't know much about the journey book, but not so much the older players.

I'm sorry for the short post, so I'll add in a quick fun fact:

Tapirs are said in legends to eat people's nightmares.

That's all for now,

Jam on!
