Henry's Pandanda Blog Renovation!

Hey Pandas,

After having the same exact blog layout ever since Pandanda started, Henry has finally upgraded his blog! :D His blog is now more organized, and Henry says he will be adding lots of new features to it in the future. He pretty much changed the layout, design, and even the URL, you can now access the blog at http://blog.pandanda.com

New Home for Henry’s Blog!

Hello Panda Pals, and welcome to the new and improved Henry’s Blog! Doesn’t it look awesome? I am so excited about my new Blog home. I am planning to add polls and other surprises in the weeks and months to come. This is just the beginning!

Check out the new layout! There are buttons to easily follow Pandanda on Facebook and Twitter, and links to the Images & Widgets and Desktop Wallpapers. You can get to the Membership and Panda Gold pages right from the top of the blog, as well as jump right into Pandanda with the Play Now button.

I really like the new Official Blogroll. The position of the blogs in the lists will change as the blogs are updated. It lets you see who has the most up-to-date Pandanda info!

The new address for Henry’s Blog is blog.pandanda.com - how’s that for easy-to-remember? But don’t worry if you forget it. If you go to my old blog on Pandanda.com, it will redirect you here.

Speaking of my old blog, we accidentally left off a name in Saturday’s Level 50 post - RanRan was also one of the Super Questers who had reached Level 50 by June 1st. Congratulations to him, and to EVERYONE who is working hard on Quests!

I’ll be letting you know more about the cool new features of my blog soon. Did I mention that I’m excited about my new blog? I hope you will be, too!
Henry

I really like how we can now select reactions on each posts between funny, interesting, and cool! :D Lol, if you guys haven't notice it yet, Pandanda actually using Blogger now, and how those reactions is a type of feature on Blogger, hehehe! ^.^ I really like the new changes on the blog, very lively, unique, and of course professional. :P So what do you pandas think about the new look on Henry's Pandanda Blog?

Pandanda's Friendship Festival 2011!

Ello Pandanda community! ^.^ Woohoo, Pandanda very first Friendship Festival is finally here - where you collect Friendship Bracelets all over Pandanda, and trade them in for lots of awesome exclusive prizes just for this Pandanda Friendship Festival 2011 only!! :D And again, there will be 2 extra quests that you can get them usually at Mr. Elmhurst, Lisa, Paige, and Joe with all related to the whole Friendship Festival theme on Pandanda! :P

Now lets get started about the Friendship Festival on Pandanda, click the Friendship Bracelet in the top right of your screen, below the Map Icon.

Friendship bracelets pop up anywhere in Pandanda Land! Pretty much like Tickets for Zing Ballyhoo, and Cans + Fruits along with past festivals. The Friendship Bracelets appear in more rooms, and THANKFULLY a lot quicker then Zing Tickets, hehehe. :P

A strategy to collect these is to switch rooms often, and really pay attention. With quests now, when working on quests, you would be able to get some more bracelets without trying too! ^.^

  

After you find at least 25 Friendship Bracelets, you can trade them in for prizes!! Just go to Fishing Hole and click on Lucy to trade in the Friendship Bracelets for some pretty colorful and friendship prizes! :D

There are a bunch of fantastic, colorful, friendship-related prizes to choose from Lucy for the Friendship Festival on Pandanda! ^.^ My favorite prizeS probably be the Maroon Paint along with the Heart hehehe! The shirts are pretty clever too, for you to wear with your friends. xP But all of the prizes are really cool either way! ^.^ What do you think pandas, which one is your favorite?? :P

Lots of decorated rooms, and much more with all the fun & friendship prizes that are wicked pandas! And I'm so happy there are more quests, just for the festival! My favorite room is actually at Harvest Grove again like during the recent Pandanda Tropical Break with all the detailed decorations and accessories added to the room! ^.^

In all, I think Pandanda Friendship Festival 2011 is really awesome and the feature is wicked! :D Lol minus the horrifying part of collecting but we have weeks to collect all these scattered Friendship Bracelets around Pandanda, hehehe. xP

I'm not a really big fan with colors and rainbow, but everything else is awesome! ^.^ Anywho, what is your favorite prize and room pandas? And what do you think about Pandanda Friendship Festival?! :D

Pandanda's Tropical Break 2011!

Woohoo! Tropical Break is finally here on Pandanda! :D One thing I notice for sure are the similarity it has to Summer Festival 2010 during June! And this is exactly like March of the Snowmen, all decorations and an extra quest. There will be 1 extra quest to be exact, and you can get them usually at Mr. Elmhurst, Lisa, Paige, and this time also Joe related to the Tropical Break! :P

And if you don't have any warm, summer clothes, stop by Mr. Elmhurst on West Market Street. There are some bathing suits and snorkel equipment for sale from him! :D

For the very first time, my favorite room isn't Bear Hollow, West Street Market, or East Street Market! But my favorite room on Pandanda during the Tropical Break is Harvest Grove! It was a surprise to me, to see how Harvest Grove was, the added lighting to it with colorful flowers is just gorgeous! It would have been awesome if we were able to fix at the pond, but we can't, hehehe. xD

What is your favorite room pandas? Other than that, I think this whole thing are just pretty much decorative, nothing else to do and kinda pointless again just like the March of Snowmen almost a week ago. :P I honestly think Pandanda can do much better than just decorations like this. xP

Lol this makes me more excited and in anticipation for the Friendship Festival, where we can collect for actual items! xD But I always love Pandanda decorations, always fantastic, along with the extra quests we get throughout the whole time during Tropical Break! ^.^ Anyways, what do you think about the Tropical Break pandas? :D

Pandanda's Holiday Drawing Contest Winners!!

So a few weeks ago Henry announced a Holiday Contest on his Pandanda blog, which ended 5 days ago! And finally, the winners are announce, one for computer drawing and the other one for hand drawing! :D So now let's check out the post and awesome winners! ^.^

Hi Pandas!

After looking at all the creative and artistic drawings that you sent in for the Holiday Drawing Contest, our judging panel has chosen the winners. Believe me, it was not an easy choice! Each entry was special, and I really appreciate the time and effort each of you put into your drawings.

The Grand Prize for “Best Picture that is Hand Drawn” goes to Eglantine!



The Grand Prize for “Best Picture Drawn in a Computer Program” goes to Kovalsky!



Congratulations to both of you! Your 3 month Pandanda Elite Membership Gift Certificate will be sent to the email address your panda was registered with, so make sure to watch for it! And your 5,000 Panda Power Points will be added to your account.

While we celebrate our two winners today on an outstanding job, I thought it might be nice for everyone to see some of the other great drawings submitted throughout the contest. I’ll be putting together a little slideshow in the next few days to showcase some of the finalists, according to our judging panel, in an official Pandanda Holiday Art gallery show.

I hope everyone will tell the winners “Well done!” when you see them in Pandanda. And to everyone who participated in the contest, thank you so much. You rock!

Henry

Congrats Eglantine and Kovalsky, your entries were really awesome!! ^.^ Lol I actually didn't enter because I was really busy and thought of a wrong due date but probably lost anyways. xD

Anywho though, did you pandas enter and what was your entry?? We would love to see them too! :D If you don't want to let us see, just tell us if it was hand-drawn or computer-drawn. :P

Happy Holidays Pandanda!! ^.^

Pandanda Quest Sneak Peek Part 2!

Hey Pandas! Jaguar here again posting about part two of the Quest sneak peeks from Henry on his blog! :) Henry has given us another sneak peek for the Quests that are soon to come to Pandanda! ^^ This week Henry is talking about Panda Power and Levels. Each time you finish a quest you will be rewarded with coins and Panda Power as Henry says. The coins are just like the ones you get from normal games, but this Panda Power... What do we do with this?



The Panda Power is showing how well you are doing on your quests and helping out in Pandanda. The higher the Panda Power the more fame and popularity you will have in Pandanda. The only way to go to the next level is to earn Panda Power. The higher the level for your panda the more items you can buy with your coins! ^.^
Stay tuned for next week when Henry talks about Quest Logs! :P

Puzzle Contest Blog Winner - The Pandanda Gang

UPDATE: The Pandanda Team updated the Main Page a little by adding a message talking about memberships, and how beta ends! Here is the image:

As you may know, Polkagirl919 won the blogger prize and the prize came with an article written by Henry and some quotes from the winner (Polkagirl919) so Henry finally got our quotes, and then, something happened. Our blog host domain service kinda crashed on us so it was down and up for a while but that's fixed now. ;-) There isn't much to say now because most of it's all in Henry's blog post so read for yourself.:

Puzzle Contest Blog Winner - The Pandanda Gang October 22nd, 2009 Hi Pandas, Yesterday the Pandanda Gang Blog won the blogger portion of our Puzzle Contest, so today we are devoting an entire article to them as a prize. The Pandanda Gang is comprised of: Polkagirl919, Blowsight10 and Kevinice95. They run a really great site. It is updated very quickly as news is released about Pandanda Land and the quality of their reporting is very professional. I invite everyone to click on the banner above to check it out. Let's see how many hits we can give them today! We asked Polkagirl919 to write about their blog in their own words also, and here's what she had to say: "We would like to thank Henry, and The Pandanda Team! As bloggers, we try to make Pandanda better each and every day, by making Pandanda fun and a better place for all. We try to do our best and to come up with ideas to have fun, ultimately wanting to show our appreciation to our fans. And here is our Puzzle Contest story from my perspective.: Ok so, we kinda had a team plan going on so Kevinice looked for pieces, Blowsight and myself were assembling the puzzles and some help from fans too with encouragement. And then we were all shaking in fear and excitement because we were panicking I guess on who is going to win. I think Blowsight was about to lose her mind at one point (it was hilarious!) but we helped her through it! ;-P Most of the pressure was on me because I had the e-mail ready while Blowsight, was finding puzzle P so then we had to publish it ASAP. Our hearts were racing with adrenaline so I was kind of relieved to send the e-mail but the thought of knowing who won got to me so I was scared for a while. Then this morning, I was really scared to get on the computer, because I didn't want to see who won. But I got tempted and went on the computer anyways then I got hyper for a moment. So I looked on twitter first and saw that I had a lot of replies. And they were all like YOU WON! Then I hesitated and thought in my mind I won!? So then I checked Henry's blog.... My mother was acting like she didn't notice me going crazy, lol. Then I had to go off to another day of school, it was a good way to start off my day." What a great story. Congratulations again to Polkagirl919 and thanks to everyone who participated in our contest. Henry

That's all how it happened pretty much. :D Can't wait until later today at 12 PST, if you didn't know, that's when beta starts!!There is going to be a lot of new stuff for member's and non-members. Note to non-members: If you want to get a membership, with the great discount of $19.95 USD, that offer ends TODAY!!!!! If you hesitate to take that offer now, it will cost $54.95 USD AFTER BETA!!!!! Also, you guys have been asking to see the banner, just a heads up here, it's the image on Henry's latest blog post if you want to see it. But, were trying to fix some glitches to put the banner on this site so everyone can see. We kinda added some stuff to it but we don't wanna spoil the surprise on how it looks like. That's everything we have here! We might have some parties tonight but you never know! We mostly go on Willow server or Poplar since Cedar isn't back yet. Lol, imagine a lot of people on Pandanda today, Pandanda might want to change the capacity on rooms and servers today since everyone is going to be on. Okay, so that's everything here for now. So Cya soon on Pandanda! Btw, Polkagirl919 is going to be on willow since Blowsight10 and Kevinice95 aren't going to be on for a while.
