PPT Reaches Rank 2 in Google!

rank-2 PPT Reaches Rank 2 in Google!

Yeaaaah we’re above Wikipedia now!!

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.

So there’s a short peak into one of the staff members behind pinkpt.com, if you want to know anything else you can find me at:

  • www.jonnyblackler.com
  • PPT Forums: Oops
  • PPT Cbox: Oops
  • Neopets: oops513
  • Skype: pickle93

See you around the site!

New Daily Dare Banner

   Posted by: Kym Huynh   in Main Website

daily-dare-banner New Daily Dare Banner

Now that the new Daily Dare challenge for 2008 is underway on Neopets, I thought it only smart to add the Daily Dare banner up. However, the adding did not come without challenges!

Firstly, the advertising spot was reserved exclusively for one single main Neopets event; in this case The Return of Dr. Sloth plot! What was I to do? I couldn’t add another advertisement banner, it would be simply too much. So what I did was add both banners in the same spot and rotated them. Ahhh problem solved!

Ahhh then came the issue of creating the actual banner. Now THAT was a bit more difficult as sourcing images was a little bit more difficult. In the end, I just added up new “Daily Dare” text as the original image would not fit both. Looks pretty good though I think.

So here you have it folks! The adventures of the “Daily Dare”!

If you look carefully at PPT’s top right corner, you will notice a little folded over page. Run your mouse over it and the corner of the website will fold down and you will get a sneak peak into the PPT Forum!

Just another new exciting feature at PPT.
