SanrioTown Kitty Shop's Phase Three is Out!

For those of you who don’t know what this is yet, SanrioTown has launched the Kitty Shop a few months ago, and one of its features is that the users (that’s you!) were able to vote on the design, kind, features, and look of these items: bag, umbrella, and shirt. In short, the creation of these products all came from you! Now that the last step is out, you can now pre-order for these items from now until May 30. The lucky ones whose names will be picked can purchase their product online by June 29.What are you waiting for? Sign in to your SanrioTown account for more details about pre-ordering. If you don’t have one yet, make sure you create one today, or else you wouldn’t be able to check it out, as well as get the chance to get these exclusive items!

Blog Tutorial: Advanced: Password-Protecting Posts

As we all know, blogs are made to share our thoughts to the whole world. However, some of our posts might be too private for everyone to see, and we want to limit the readers to our closest friends. This is where the password-protected posts come in.

You can protect your posts from eyes of people who you don’t know very well on the “Write Post” or “Manage Posts” sections of your blog. You can begin by typing in your entry as in a regular blog. Once you’re done, you can set the password by entering the word you want on the “Post Password” area (see the highlighted area of the image). Publish it. When you view your blog, what should appear should not be the entry, but a bar asking for the password from the viewer.

Be sure to tell your friends what your password is, or else they won’t be able to read what you wrote!

SanrioTown Blog of the Week!

You’ll be looking at the world, er, blog with rose-tinted glasses with Rei Kuassary’s “@}~,~~roseate~~`~{@” blog.

“Roseate” is actually the perfect name for her blog, because it’s really all about pink! From her link banner, to font color, to her mood icons, it’s all positively screaming pink.:D All of rei’s posts are about cuteness and fun, and the shade just adds to its fun factor.

You can check out Rei’s blog by clicking here, its title, or the image above.

DreamStudio Video of the Week!

Love can be seen in a variety of ways: love for a mother to a child, between friends, spouses, girlfriends and boyfriends… There is, however, such a thing as unrequited love, where one thinks that s/he has already found it, only to discover that it has never been his/hers after all.

This is the subject of our featured video this week. Appropriately titled “Love,” by nhungcoi, the video shows what it is with this bittersweet thing we all will experience at one point or the other. The graphics include really beautiful images and it features a really good song to go along with the mood of the video. All in all, it’s a very well-made creation, and even if the story’s sad, it will still make those who’ve ever experienced love in their lives relate to it.

Click on the title to watch the video if you can’t view it from above.

Focus on: Pochacco’s Balloon Game

Spend a fun day at the festival by helping our favorite white dog hand out balloons to his many friends in Pochacco’s Balloon. Sounds easy? Not by a long shot, as each animal has differing speeds and directions, and have awful tempers to boot! Better have their balloons ready for them, or they’ll walk out on you!

Play the game now by clicking on the game title or on the images above. Make sure you get a SanrioTown account first, otherwise, you won’t be able to!

Blog Tutorial: Advanced: Image Alignment

Anyone ever encountered pressing the alignment button a number of times but ending up getting frustrated because the picture on the entry seems to have a mind of its own and doesn’t follow what you want it to do? There’s a very simple way on how you can change the alignment of the images that you upload in your blog entries. First, click on the image, which should already be on the Editor (to see a tutorial on how to do this, click here) . It doesn’t matter how you’ve uploaded it, as long as it’s already in the composer of your blog entries.:p Once you’ve selected it, click on the Image button. A window that looks like this should pop up.

From here, enter how much space you would want on the sides (even at the top and bottom!) on the “Horizontal Space” or “Vertical Space” areas, consecutively. These should be in numerical value and measures in pixels. There’s really no exact way of saying how much the value of the space that you allot should be, because it really depends on how big the image you are uploading is. Try and see what the best value it via trial-and-error. A useful way of seeing how it looks like on your blog itself is by clicking “Save and Continue Editing” first instead of publishing it immediately. After the page loads, scroll down to the bottom of the page and check out the preview of how the blog entry would look like when it’s published. Compare the way it looks to how you would want it to actually like it and work on the value from there.:) Once you’re done, publish the entry so that the public would be able to view it.
