Haunted Sand Pool

Hey Jammers! As far as I know today, there's no real news and the new item is a Rainbow Arch in the Cloud Party– inaccessible by me, the nonmember panda. 

But even though there isn't any official news, I think I may have just found some in the form of a glitch in an item I'm pretty sure is called the "Sand Pool":





It's hard to see not in GIF or video format, but there's this weird glitch going on that I don't believe is supposed to be there. I'll describe it the best I can as a strange shivering blurriness that moves up the middle of the water to the top of the bucket– almost like a ~ghoOoOoOst~!

And yeah, it looks like a few badly photoshopped screenshots, but trust me– go find/buy a sand pool and stare at it. I'm pretty sure that you'll see the weird blob of blurriness.

Thanks for reading, but before I go I have one last update. I've successfully formatted a background that I'm going to use for my new layout. Again, in the end if it's ugly I'll be happy to accept criticism! :)

That's all for now, see you in Jamaa!

Fruit and Predictions

Hey Jammers! I haven't been posting for a few days because I've just been overall exhausted by everything lately and kind of hopeless, but I'm a bit more alive now than I was yesterday, so here's a post for ya!

And before I get into the news, a quick thing about my layout: It will eventually be reworked to be prettier and with less eye strain, but for now I'd just like to relax. Ya see, last week when I started searching for backgrounds and stuff, I spent the entire day at the computer formatting and resizing the same graphic over and over again. As you can see, I get very wrapped up in graphic design to the point of insanity.

So yeah, for now I'll try my best to revert my layout back to my old one and just play AJ. I hope it's okay to look at for just a while longer! /).(\

Moving on, it's Monday, so a new and colorful Rare Item Monday is in stores! In this case, it's hidden under the sea in Bahari Bargains.


I would really like this item if only it wasn't red white and blue. In fact, it might have been my favorite members only item if it was colored normally! I hope a regular version is released at some point, only then will I be at peace. ☮

There's not much news aside from this, but just know that this week is FOR REAL THIS TIME the Animal Jam update that will include new things such as:

• Play Wild's official release in the U.S.A.

• The release of the forgotten Archeological Dig/Excavation Site den theme in Jam Mart Furniture, pictured below:


• (Possibly) Updates to the Battle for the Beacon map and/or item stand.

That's all for now, see you in Jamaa! :)

Layout Problems

Hey Jammers! I don't have a real post for today, but I did make a bunch on Tuesday that maybe you missed. Click here to hear about my predictions for what the next new land will look like and click here to learn a cool Hot Cocoa Hut trick. 

Not much news today aside from a new item (The disguise mask, member's only, sold in the Freedom Party) which again, I can't take a screenshot of right now because the next party is in a long time. There's also a pretty helpful post on the Daily Explorer:


It's about what kind of computer systems you need to have in order for Animal Jam to work properly. All these technical FAQ posts are really helpful! :D

Anyway, I spent the entirety of yesterday trying to finalize a new more organized and prettier layout for AJ Stream, and came up with... nothing yet. There are some small visual bugs going on right now due to all the HTML editing which need to be fixed, and I am nowhere near done finding and editing a background. Arrrghh, curse you background sizing limit... >:(

Just know that I won't let my blog stay ugly forever! When I finally make a new layout I'll tell you and let you decide if it looks okay or not. I'll always have my old layout on backup. :)

That's all for now, see you in Jamaa!

Larkspur

Hey Jammers! So apparently, I was completely and 100% mistaken about when I said the update was this week. I was only going by looking at the post titles of my own blog, but then I forgot I didn't do a post last update because I was going away!!! 

Y'know, sometimes I think I need a side-author to get me through these tough times. But then again, nah.



(There is a new firework in the Freedom Party today, I believe it's Zios and members only but I can't get pics right now because the next party is so far away. Forgive me.)

Larkspur was the chosen July birth flower out of them all! Larkspur comes in a few different color variations and with those different colors come different meanings: pink larkspur is supposed to symbolize changeability, white conveys a cheerful attitude, and purple (the color of the AJ larkspur item) is supposed to symbolize "first love."

Regardless of variation, the Larkspur is generally used to symbolize strong bonds. Shout out to everyone born in July! :D

In slightly more boring news, I'm kind of debating on changing up my blog's layout a little so it's more organized and easier to read. I'm not going to switch to a boring default, I'm still gonna add color and stuff where I can, but for now my blog is currently under construction so if things look a little weird, I promise it's temporary. :)

I'll also be asking your opinion on the future layout once it's done, so don't worry at all if you are!

That's all for now, see you in Jamaa!

Update isn't actually today LOL

Heyyy... Abour what I said about the update being today? Welllll... I was wrong I guess. So please don't blame me, k.

But in better news, PLAY WILD IS GOING TO BE OFFICIALLY RELEASED PROBABLY TOMORROW DURING THE ACTUAL UPDATE!!!



Aside from that there's not much news today, so I hope the three posts I made yesterday make up for that!

See you in Jamaa,
