Video by Hayley for her blog!

Our webkinz blog www.atomicolicious.com has taken off. It started climbing over the past few weeks, hitting about 600-800 page views a day. Then the past week has been a new high almost every day. Friday – 1,300 page views… Saturday – 1,800 page views and then Sunday a whopping 4,733 page views and one post with 350 comments alone. Today was 3,600 page views and a post now has 490 comments.

Hayley is so excited by it all. Evidently parents are cool with their kids on the blog b/c it is overseen by a mother and the kids like to trade object through the blog, not to mention get hints, etc. I’ve had so many nice posts from parents. One told me that their kid had read more of our blog than the combination of all the books he cracked this summer – and the parent thought it was awesome because the kid was happy to read it.

Hayley loves posting on it. She is now comfortable with taking a screenshot, cropping and saving it in photoshop, then ftping it to our server and posting it in the blog with some text. I helped her but she typed her first line of straight html on Friday. She can now copy an img src line and edit it to call a different image. How cool is that?? She just thinks this is all fun, not writing, editing, coding and such.

Our latest addition to the blog is …. we did a video news broadcast for the blog. Hayley worked so hard, writing and setting it all up. She planned it all out and was so excited. She even helped me edit things, picking colors, writing stuff up and setting the order, etc.

Yeah for REAL, Hayley’s photo and Michelle’s words are on CNN’s website! They were doing a special on Harry Potter and asked for good quality photos of kids in HP gear. So I sent them a really good one from Halloween. They CALLED me on Monday to talk to me about it all.

And then whammo, we are in the gallery of photos and the story!

Turns out they picked seven photos for the gallery and Hayley’s photo was one the seven posted! She is #3.

Check it out:
