Blossom Snowygem's Guide to Creating an AJ Blog!

Hey jammers, many jammers wish to create an Animal Jam blog, and it's not as easy as you may think. You need to learn the basics of HTML coding, you have to advertise, and most importantly, you need to have interesting posts that will make the reader want to keep reading your blog! So, here's my guide to making a good blog.

1. If you write update posts (I think this is overused, so I just write about interesting things in Jamaa), then don't be like, "Today's RIM is a rare pirate sword. I don't like the price, it is too high, don't you think? This is the first Freedom Day item of 2014. Bye jammers." That's a VERY short post, and people won't want to read your blog. Why not? Because they can find that info on any other AJ blog, or when they log on themselves. You want to include interesting things in your posts. How, you ask?

• Write an opinion. If you have an opinion on an item or (if you are very brave) jammer, write about what you think! Remember, if you're writing bad things about a jammer, you need to have very good reasoning, such as: "Exampleperson1 scammed my friend, and hacks!" That's a good reason to write bad things about someone. Not "Exampleperson2 doesn't like ANY of my trades, and told me to please stop trading her. RUDE!!!!!!" That's just complaining, and no one finds complaints interesting.

• Write an idea. If you have a good idea you want to mention, tell people about it! If jammers think your idea is a great one, they might e-mail it to AJHQ, and then your idea could become reality! Example of a good idea: Nonmembers should be able to have a den with more than one room because (insert your reasoning). Example of a bad idea: If you are in an argument and the other person started it, you should be able to say the words stupid, idiot, and jerk until the argument is over. Your idea needs to make sense and have reasoning.

• Write an explanation. Like, let's say AJHQ decided to bring every rare back into stores, and lots of jammers were upset. That would be your chance to write an explanatory paragraph explaining the truth behind why AJHQ brought the rares back, such as they may have thought too many angry parents were calling them because their kids' items were scammed, or that there's just too much drama and that rares coming out would help people stop judging others for items. A bad example of an explanation would be: People, AJHQ just brought back rares cause they think rares look cool on jammers. OMG, stop complaining and be thankful that you can dress your animal awesomely!! XD Your explanantion has to make sense and have reasoning (like when you write an idea). (The bad explanation is just plain quickly-written-and-not-really-thought-about-and-reasoned o.O)

So, umm yeah.... (example of a bad post ending xD) Bye jammers, and oh yeah, one last thing: to make a blog, WordPress costs money to get a full version, and it's confusing, and Blogger is just... better ;)
