PPT Blog

What an exciting week at PPT it has been! Firstly we’ve brought in a new news poster, Yusrah, so a big welcome to her! May she bring the latest and greatest Neopets-related news to PPT and strive forth to make our little corner of goofy innocence on the web fun.

I’d also like to welcome Sabrina, PPT’s newest artist to the scene. Myself, Rune and Jasujo (our lovely Administrators at the PPT Forum) have some great ideas to implement around the website and we’re going to need lots of artwork to make it happen; more on that soon.

Speaking about artwork, Sabrina is currently working on PPT’s artwork for it’s first run of official PPT merchandise. That’s right folks! The PPT Corner Shop will be opening soon and will stock the latest in PPT-related gear.

Speaking about PPT-related gear, all the winners for the PPTbies2008 have been announced. In addition to receiving their own custom graphic - created by our lovely Graphics whiz WIS - they will also receive an item from the PPT Corner Store as part of their prize for the PPTbie2008 nod.

The above are examples of the winner custom graphics. All volunteers at the PPTbies2008 also receive a volunteer custom graphic as a thanks in addition to an item from the PPT Corner Store. (By the way, those images are mine people! Don’t steal them OK! I won them fair and square after extensive bribing.)

A big thanks to WIS and May for their their tireless work making sure this year’s PPTbies went off without a hitch. Thanks guys! You deserve the kudos and bragging rights. (They’re also the winners of their own respective categories. It’s karma I tells ya; karma!)

Apart from that, the news team at PPT have been going pretty crazy lately with all the new news they’re posting on PPT Main so well done guys. You all rock!

Finally, a big thanks to the PPT Editors - Jonny Blackler, Jocelyn Elisabeth Greene and Kristy West - for editing over 150 new articles for inclusion into PPT Main. I will get that added soon.

There you have it folks! Another great week at PPT.

Arcade games have been unveiled on PPT! New to the community is a flash-game library with lots and lots of cool flash games! (Actually, there are 9 online as we speak but a new game will be released every Monday.) With its own high-score table and everything else cool and what-not, the PPT Arcade is something that is very funky and only the start of a series of new features that are coming to PPT so chuck on those game-playing gloves and get stuck into the plethora of games now available at PPT!

Also recently sent out by our wonder PPTbies 2008 Master of Ceremonies, May, are the PPT nomination graphics awarded to every nominated person in the PPTbies 2008 categories! Congratulations on your custom graphic trophy! Make sure you display it proudly in your signature and if you win your category, you will receive a new custom graphic as part of your prize, and official PPT merchandise (in addition to boasting rights. Boasting rights!)!

Yes, I am PPT’s In-House Danger Prone, Guy Who Knows the Neopets Creators. If you don’t listen to The PPT Show, then you should! If you do you’ll know me… Jonny. So anyway, I was reading the note Kym put in the sidebar of this blog - “Where PPT gets made, is updated and is developed.” - and thought I would post a little something.

First of all my name is Jonny, not Johnny or the like *cough* Ella *cough*. I like to play Guitar Hero for Xbox 360, and Super Crazy Guitar Maniac 2! I also like playing Flight Simulator X, web design and podcasting. I joined PPT at the PPT Forum,with the username Oops, on “Mon May 07, 2007 11:29 am”. Since then I have joined the news posting team, become head news poster and a host of The PPT Show.
