Dizzywood Explorer’s Journal

Next time you are taking a stroll through Presto’s Grove, be sure to make a stop at his Clothing Shack Wagon to see what’s new! Presto, and the rest of the Dizzywood gang have been hard at work sewing some fabulous new garments for all its citizens. Presto has promised to continue to add new clothing options, for both girls and boys! So, be sure to snap them up while they are still on sale. Presto has announced that he will retire old clothing to make room for the addition of the new clothes that he is already working on for the next sale!

Dizzywood citizens took it upon themselves to create their very own impromptu dances today, each with its own special theme! There was a dosey-do of line dancing in Presto’s Grove, floating through Tanglevine Jungle in search of new alien life forms, and a game of mummy tag in the dark Crystal Catacombs! You can create any of these looks anytime! Just click on the blue ‘Change Your Look’ button and click the right and left arrows on the hair option! Gather your friends and let us know what kinds of events you enjoy putting together! 

We’ve been very busy at Dizzywood Headquarters and are excited to announce some cool new features launching today!

NEW BACKPACK

One of the first things you’ll see is a new backpack. Your backpack is now organized into different categories, so you can easily find all of your stuff. Just click the Open button to check out your Powers, Clothes, Critters, and other loot and items you’ve collected!

NEW HAIRSTYLES

Update your look with a new hairstyle. We’ve added lots of fun new looks so you can express yourself and show off your fresh new style!

NEW CHAT

One of the ways we make sure Dizzywood is a safe place for kids is by not allowing personal information. You’ll notice some new changes to our chat to help enforce this important rule, including not sharing numbers, names, age, location and other personal information. We want everyone on Dizzywood to have fun and be safe, so thanks for your help in following these rules.

Let us know what you think about the improvements. We’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas for making Dizzywood even better!

Presto is pleased to report that the rock bogie has left Dizzywood and the signs are now back as they were! He would also like to thank all who sought him out in the Crystal Catacombs and challenged him! Here is a detailed description of the little guy, so that you all can keep an eye out to make sure he does not cause a ruckus again!

Mishchief Monger: Mr. Rock B. Ogie

Height: About up to your mid-shins

Weight: We don’t know, we wouldn’t dare pick him up!

Face: Um, like a rock?

Accused of: Causing chaos by painting all over the signs in Dizzywood, confusing all of our explorers, and making it extremely difficult to travel! 

REWARD for Beating Him at His Own Game: A new emote!

Photo: Mr. Rock B. Ogie was caught yesterday, green-handed, and was asked to leave Dizzywood. He left saying “April Fool’s Dizzywoodians! Just thought I’d keep all the travelers on their toes!”

Did you know that before our resident animals arrived in the land of Dizzywood, massive magical creatures roamed the land, flew through the skies and swam the seas? Well, one of these brave creatures was named the Great Dizz and he made his home in an area called Wild Wood. The sad thing is, no one, not even Presto himself, knows where these ancient creatures went.

One particular animal, Katherine deClaw, found the remains of the Great Dizz’s private garden and took it upon herself to rebuild it in his honor. She even built a wooden gazebo and recently began to re-grow many of the magic plants that grew there… and YOU CAN HELP!

Enter the Garden Gazebo by way of Presto’s Edge. Click on the sign and choose the secret code “friends.” You will be greeted by Kat herself and she will instruct you to get gardening! You can play the multiple rose bush games to win seeds, then you can plant your seeds and grow a stunning Whisperweed, Gumbilina or Butterfaux, just to name a few!

There are happy hoppy Garden Sprites promenading around the Gazebo who will unveil the process of earning a Kitty Critter to accompany you as you cultivate. Kat really needs some help growing the vines on the wooden columns, because the more people who help make them grow, the faster they thrive! In addition to reviving the Garden Gazebo, she would appreciate it if all the Dizzies would share their plants throughout Dizzywood! So let’s get seeding!

There is a new way to show your friends exactly what you are wearing in Dizzywood. Many have already stumbled upon the camera, and have taken plenty of photographs showing off their Dizzywood apparel, but many of you may not know that you can share these photos as Widgets on your very own WordPress blog!

Follow these steps:

1) Put on your favorite outfit and take your fashion photo. After you do this, it automatically saves itself onto your computer.

2) Go to your WordPress blog. Click “Write,” upload your photo as full size, then click “Send to editor.”

3) Once you see the actual photo in the body of the post, click the tab above “Code.” Highlight & paste all those numbers and letters you see.

4) Click “Presentation,” then click “Widgets.” Drag the “Text 1″ widget to your sidebar.

5) Open that widget (by clicking that little box to the right of it). Now paste what you had highlighted & copied earlier into that box. Click “Save changes.”

6) Now for the payoff! Click on “View site” and if you have completed these steps correctly, you should see your Dizzywood Fashion Photo on your sidebar!

Congratulations! Now spread the word so you and your friends can show off the new trends in Dizzywood!

UPDATE: You can still hunt for eggs until the end of today (March 24). Happy hunting!

Every year around this time, The Bjorn Family sets up an egg hunt. But because their three young cubs are a little mischievous, things tend to get a little yolky when these three walk with their baskets in hand. First find Edward, and he will get you started on the hunt!

Edward Bjorn: Hi there! My mom gave me a basket of colored eggs, but my silly brothers Einar and Elof hid them from me. Can you help me find them? They’re scattered all over Dizzywood!

Last week a rather large, prickly character made his way into Presto’s Grove feeling weary, tired and in need of a rest. After spending the night in the tent in Explorer’s Camp (making sure not to poke holes with his sharp extremities!), he worked his way out of the Jungle and settled in the Meadow. We did a little investigating and found out that he is one of Farthing’s loyal friends, who’s come to Dizzywood after hearing that many of our explorers have some quirky items in their backpacks. You’ve heard correctly! Quill, our friendly porcupine nomad, is setting up shop in Farthing’s Meadow to buy your junk! He takes things like the dental retainer, the old boot and the half-eaten snack cake and gives you coins for them! So to all those who have been collecting these random items, now is your chance to cash in! Have fun and sell away!

Presto: I have received a letter from Leprechaun that he has finally reached his home after his four day stay in Dizzywood. Pierre Le Snout, Chanjo, and myself sat down for dinner late Monday night to recap his stay. The only complaint he had was that his tiny feet were a bit worn from all his running around. His pockets were empty, but his smile was larger than ever!

“Tell my Dizzywood friends that I shall miss them dearly! Let them all know that they made my stay here such a joyous one! Please leave them with these photographs to remember me by! Thank you Presto for allowing me to stay in Dizzywood!” said the Leprechaun after our dinner. Here are the photographs he attached with his letter:
