Hey Pandanda bloggers (and prospective bloggers!)

Now is a great time to submit your Pandanda blog for the Official Pandanda Blogroll! I added 15 blogs to the Blogroll on Monday, and I would love to add more. I'm looking forward to giving special recognition to excellent blogs in 2012!

To be considered for the Official Pandanda Blogroll, your blog must meet these requirements:

1. The blog has been active for at least one month.
2. The blog is updated at least once per week.
3. The blog must be about Pandanda, with only a very few mentions of any other games.
4. The blog must have a link to www.pandanda.com on the main page.
5. The blog must not contain inappropriate content.

To request that your blog be added to the Official Pandanda Blogroll, send an email to support@pandanda.com with BLOGROLL in the subject line. Make sure to include your blog’s URL, the name you want the Blogroll to show for your blog, and any special information you think we should know about your blog.

The Pandanda Team will visit each blog to decide if it meets the requirements. If it does, the blog will be added to the Blogroll. If some of the requirements are missing from your blog, the Team will send you an email letting you know what you need to do to meet the requirements. We look forward to adding your blog to the Official Pandanda Blogroll!

If your blog used to be on the Blogroll, but it was removed because it wasn't being updated regularly, you can certainly ask us to add it again if you are updating again!

Blog on, Pandas!
Henry 

Hmm, I wonder what kind of special recognition Henry is planning to give to the Pandanda bloggers? Hope you all have a great day!

Christmas Outfit and Chrismas Caroling with Henry Tomorrow!

Hey Pandas,

As you can see, yes, this is the first post of Pandanda Squad. Osita1, firefly125, ejdubdub(Also known as dub), and Pearl will be blogging for y'all about Pandanda, giving you a lot of tips, cheats, latest news, and much more!

Anyways, Henry tomorrow Friday 23rd will be Caroling tomorrow with all of us around the huge Christmas tree on Bear Hollow. Don't forget to wear your favorite Christmas outfit tomorrow as well! This is what Henry said on his blog:

Oooh, Christmas is getting closer and closer! I can hardly wait!

One of the things that really gets me in the Christmas Spirit is dressing up in a Christmas outfit and singing Christmas carols with my friends. Won't you join me tomorrow in Bear Hollow as we sing Christmas songs around the huge tree there? I will be caroling in Pandanda at 7:00am Pandanda Time, then again at 7:00pm Pandanda Time on Friday, December 23rd.

I hear you asking, "Which server?" All of them! I will join you in a song or two on Willow at the beginning of the hour, then move to Oak for a couple of songs, and continue that way to Maple, Poplar, Cedar, and Palm. After a couple of songs on Palm, if there is time left, I will head back to Willow.

So don't worry if you can't get into Bear Hollow on Willow at 7am or 7pm Pandanda Time. If you go to one of the other servers, you will be there when I arrive! You'll just have to try to be patient (pretend you are waiting for Santa Claus!) While you are waiting, you can practice some of the carols we will be singing - Jingle Bells, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Deck the Halls, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas are some of them!

This is something we've never tried in Pandanda, but I think it will be fun! I can't wait to see everyone decked out in their best Christmas clothes, gathered around the tree, and singing songs of the season!

I'm really enjoying seeing the pictures of your holiday-decorated treehouses! Keep sending them in! Send the entire screenshot of your treehouse, from your Panda name in the top left corner all the way to your backpack in the bottom right corner, to screenshots@pandanda.com. Check out Mod Muzester's treehouse:

See you soon! Start warming up your voices (and your fingers!)
Henry

Can't wait to meet and to go Caroling with Henry! Also click for timings: 7:00am Pandanda Time, 7:00pm Pandanda Time.
