Blogs are meant for us to show the world who we are, what we’re interested in, and just about anything and everything that we have something to say something about. What better way for us to tell our readers what our journal focuses on by telling them right off the bat what it’s all about – through our personalized blog titles! By default, the title of every SanrioTown Blog is “My Blog.” However, as was said already, you can change it to make it your very own, and to tell the readers what it’s all about. To do so, sign in to your SanrioTown account and then go to your blog. Click on options and you should be able to see something similar to the image below.

You’ll see that the Weblog Title is “My Blog.” Change this to whatever title you want to call your blog. Be creative! The more unique, the better, because a good title is usually what draws people to view your blog the first time.
A special bonus: you can add a short description that will appear right below your blog title to add even more interest to your journal. All you have to do is enter it on the “Tagline” space. Again, make it creative and interesting. A good tagline would be something that describes your blog in a nutshell but at the same time makes a person interested to check out the contents of that journal.
Click on “Update Options” to save your changes. Congratulations! You’ve just personalized your blog name!

Just when you think you can’t find everything in a blog, along comes one that actually has all of the things you want – and more!

The author, mfly_88, is a self-confessed happy person whose approach in life is carried over in her blog, xoxo=Pink Spunk=xoxo . Her posts are all varied and interesting, making the reader come back for more of her writings.
Aside from her “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya ” entries (she admits to be into “Haruiism”), she also created different categories for her entries: anime, fashion, music (she uploads mp3s on her blogs), fun quizzes, videos, Hello Kitty, and Sanrio. Her posts aren’t impersonal narrations about the stuff she’s featuring, but are a commentary on what she thinks of these, so you get to know more about that person, as well as on what she’s talking about. Adding to that are her promised entries on her travels. She even has a wishlist of the items she wants to have, including Hello Kitty electric fans.:D
You can view her blog by clicking on the image or the blog name.

It’s really quite rainy here right now, and this week’s featured video is quite perfect for the weather – or for any other, for that matter.:p
The pick this week is shazhu_rain’s stray birds video, a very beautiful video that combines poetry and imagery to create a stunning effect. The text is dramatic but is offset (in a good way) by the colorful images that go along with it, adding flavor to the already meaningful content of the video. The music used further adds a lighter tone to it, making the viewer appreciate it because of the different levels of emotions it evokes.
To view the “Stray Birds” video, click here.

XO Cave Adventure is the latest in the arsenal of games that can be played in SanrioTown. Being the adventurous little penguin that Badtz Maru is, he goes on an Antarctic cave exploration trip, and it’s up to you to guide him through it!

Aside from the cave’s stalactites and stalagmites, some creepy-crawly creatures are also in the way to keep XO from having a smooth flight. Not to worry though, XO has his weapon of choice: his handy flashlight! Left-click to turn it on and make the cave dwellers disappear.

Badtz Maru can have a maximum of three flashlights, and can replenish his supply by collecting the ones on his way. Aside from these, he can also collect hearts (a maximum of five), which indicates the number of times he can be hit. There are also stars that boost a player’s score by 100 points for each one collected.

The game is action/adventure, something that people of all ages would just love to play. Guiding a flying Badtz Maru who wears a red cape is a special bonus as well.:D

Anyone ever wondered what these buttons are doing on the SanrioTown blogs?

Wonder no more! Today’s tutorial will discuss what these do, and how they help bring people to your blog.
Digg and del.icio.us are actually two websites that keep track of blog and blog entries. These are actually a bit like Technorati, in that these potentially could increase the number of visitors going to your blog. The difference between these two is that Digg notes specific blog entries while del.icio.us tracks down the whole blogs.How do you use these? First of all, you have to have an account for these two sites. Don’t worry, registration is free, so there’s no need to fret about whether or not you have to pay to enjoy these features.
Digg reads the posts that you, well, digg as news articles, and that’s how it classifies them under. You can also create a short description of that blog entry there, as well as assign it under the categories that can be found on the site. Digg then automatically saves it on their system, and if users find your post interesting, they’ll also digg it. Keep in mind: most of the highly dugg entries are good ones, so be sure to make your posts as interesting and as informative if you want these to have high rankings.
We hope that helped!
Del.icio.us, on the other hand, installs a toolbar on your Internet browser, so if you find an interesting blog entry that you really like, you can add it to the site’s system simply by clicking on the button.

Cats and kittens aren’t the only ones who enjoy playing with yarn. This week’s blog entry shows that some Hello Kitty fans also have a fascination for fabrics – in knitting, of course!Knittin’ with the Kitten, owned and maintained by deannac, a self-confessed Hello Kitty and knitting fan. She talks about her projects and her weapon of choice in tackling these: that’s right, Hello Kitty knitting needles!

As she herself said, Hello Kitty and knitting go together like “peanut butter and jelly, cornflakes and milk…” And, as she points out, a lot of knitters are actually Hello Kitty fans. Ever noticed how, in a crafts shop, a lot of patterns (and not only for knitting) are patterned after our London-bred White lass?
