Random blog post :)

Hi wizards!

I would just like to say all of the submissions I have read/ looked at are very good! I might need another person to help me because they are that great :) I am glad I am having this contest- Even makes me excited about it even though I am not getting the code :)

Anyways,
Since I have been talking about a bunch of boring stuff lately, I would like to talk about petnome! I have put a link about that on the side of my blog if you would like to see it. Petnome helps a lot if you would like to level a pet. A lot of wizards level their pets to epic to help other wizards figure out if they would like that pet or not, or if they would like to level their pet that far. I like looking at the pet talents so, I would like to thank Petnome for making your site, and I hope everyone else likes it as much as I do! Here is the link:

Also, as most of you can see, I have added a new background and header, I have also changed my clothing for match my blog colors! Also, I am going to do something new and tell more facts about my blog, ect.

A couple of reason for blue and green colors:
First off, I would like to say I added blue and green because bartleby has a blue eye, and green leaves, thats one reason I have added blue and green to my blog. Another reason I have added blue and green to my blog is because thats usually what everyone says the color of the earth is from space! Blue water, and green land :) Thats why its Around the spiral with Edward Lifegem.


The reason I started blogging:
I started blogging because I love Wizard101! My goal for followers was 20 when I first started, when I thought I would hit that level of followers,  that would be awesome! Now I am at 75, thanks all :) It really does mean a lot that you are following! A goal for me even though they are not accepting fansites is, for kingsisle or wizard101 central to recognize my blog! :)

Things I would like to be added to the game:
Well first off, after a headache extravaganza from yesterday, I would like kingsisle support in the commons. It gets too bad there at times. Another thing I would like to be added is just like mentioned on ravenwood radio, interactive furniture, I think the piano would be very awesome if you could actually play it! I mean imagine that!

You don't have to play like this, but it would still be nice to add!


Reason I named my blog Atswel:
I named my blog Around the Spiral with Edward Lifegem because apparently my ice character was getting too much attention. Before I named my blog that, I usually didn't farm or anything on my life character. My life character is now my second favorite school because I actually gave the life school a chance :) Around the Spiral- I am always in the Spiral Most likely you will see me. Edward Lifegem- I am mostly on the character Edward Lifegem, sometimes edward mythgem, but mostly edward lifegem. As much of you know, I am not good at blog names. Once when I first started I named my blog:

I know bad choice in making my blog perfect LOL. I have been laughing about that a while now, if you want to laugh go ahead :)

Okay thats it for today wizards, Have a very nice day! Hopefully I will see you around the Spiral!

New post: KBB- Blogs- Freebies are not everything

Kevin Battleblood has made a very good video, this video is about the Fansite situation.
I think so far 20 minutes through the video, KBB made a very good point :) I am going to listen to this all the way through. Thanks kevin for making a very very good point :)

I hope you guys do listen to this video all the way through, I am listening right now, and I say that bloggers out there, if you made your blog for fun, and because you enjoy the game, keep doing that. Bloggers out there that just wanted a code, think, Why did you make your blog? Remember, Enjoy blogging just like you enjoy the game! I for one do not care about codes, I just want all of my followers to be happy with my blog. I hope the other bloggers say that too! My goal at first was to be a fansite though, I don't mind anymore though :) If I got a wizard101 card, even when I knew my membership was going to run out, which It did yesterday, I would still give that card away. Once again, thanks kevin for your video, It really makes sense, I also agree 100% If you guys would like a link to his blog here it is:

http://kevinbattleblood.petnome.com/2011/05/audio-log-alog-1-thoughts-and-advice-on.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheChillanthropologist+%28The+Chillanthropologist%29&utm_content=Twitter

Also,
Remember, you don't need codes to enjoy blogging, If you love wizard101 and want to blog about it, keep it up! Just because kingsisle quit the official blogger submissions,  It doesn't mean your blog is not great, or it doesn't mean they might be looking at your blog :) Wizard101 is a great game, thats why I wanted to start blogging, Its very fun including playing the game. Also, I would like to give a shout out to the official bloggers, Keep up the good work! Don't worry about others that keep saying things about codes, I have checked all of your blogs out and they are very very good :) Plus, If the others saying things about codes, you should say, well is that why you started blogging? Kevin just said in the video, that blogging isn't everything about codes and freebies, real life isn't like that, you guys will hear that later in the video. I am sorry for those who don't have blogs having to read this, but the bloggers really do need to understand that being official blog isn't everything, it doesn't mean your blog is bad. If you guys did want to become official blogger before, why did you keep mentioning codes and all and getting mad at official bloggers. Thats what made Kingsisle take away the opportunity for us to get to that point. Kingsisle actually made a very good point quitting the blog submissions. I am going to say thank you Kingsisle for doing that, only because it was getting very bad with bloggers getting mad at them. Yes I admit, when they said something about disqualifying everyone, that made me mad. There is no reason to get so mad at them about codes though. I hope everyone will have a chance to read this all because this is very important to me, and other bloggers, twizards, and facebook wizards. I hope you guys do apologize to Kingsisle, and the official bloggers. If you guys don't know kingsisle, and I support them because they deserve it. They certainly don't deserve rude comments about some code, I mean who really cares about a code, as long as you enjoy your blog, You shouldn't even care. Those who spent money I am sorry, I hope that you guys do say sorry to kingsisle though. I am going to say sorry after this post. Sorry for the long post everyone.

See you guys around the spiral, and behave please. Also, Remember, Please don't be mad at everyone or quit blogging if you really do love it. If you do thats your loss, Also your followers will probably be mad at you guys for quitting blogging, or ect. Thanks everyone for reading this, and also thank you Kevin for making this great video!

Also, to make everyone feel better, Listen to this video with Wizard Weekly Episode 9: Credit goes to fawne Thanks! :)

P.s. Contest Details announced tomorrow morning in a new blog post!
