To get this week started we have a new Caption Contest. Can you think of anything funny to say?
Congratulations Taboushkee, you have just won the latest Pet Spotlight award.
Babaas, Faellies and Whinnies can be painted Grey at the Petpet Puddle!
A new Story Telling Competition has just begun.
"That's what makes it so interesting," the Kau said. "Everyone knows what's in the Haunted Woods. The Haunted House, the Brain Tree, the Esophagor, Eliv Thade's castle... there’s nothing mysterious left about it. BUT, no one I have ever met has gone beyond the borders of this relatively safe area."
There are some new Neogreetings with a Hannah and the Ice Caves theme.
Master_ulrich is the latest Minigolf Spotlight award winner with their hole - Auto Put.
As a reminder Pteri Day is coming up, make sure you send in your Pteri themed pictures, spotlights, poems and galleries shortly.
We have a new Desktop Background featuring some rather fierce looking Yurbles...
You can now choose from any colour Ruki as your Shopkeeper.
The Food Shop has some new fruits on sale including Limes, Lemons and Grapefruits.
Nothing too interesting.

Slow news day. I have to admit that I am extremely angry about the lookup spotlight. I don't know how to recode the new toolbar so my lookup's right, and Neopets never announced the first 4 weeks of winners. I keep hoping and praying that it is in the news but it never is.

Nothing about the new h-ween toolbar either. I guess we'll have to wait till next year to get it.

I doupt Armin caught her cause of another Bori card. Though it's possible....if the bori got unfrozen after she got that mark.
Armin is SO adorable there! =D
Monday news is always so slow. I am impressed withthe Yurble image.

The ironic thing is I was drinking a Sprite when read the news. 
Other than that, we are not amused.

Cross out "lemons and" and you've got what I've been repeating in my head joyously over and over again for the last ten minutes.

The funny thing was, that sounded wrong to me because when I read that I hadn't actually seen the news, and thought you were talking about the greeting card... o.O;

Still nothing on that? Geez, I know I sent an entry pretty early on, and I did change my sidebar (but didn't re-enter) after the first big change. So I don't know if we're supposed to enter again or what, seeing that when you do enter they say that your lookup is put into their database so if you want you can change your lookup.
The thing with changing your sidebar? Don't, seriously. Custom sidebars are not working. I'm guessing there were some big coding changes with the advent of the "special" toolbars - like the Haunted Woods one. Anyone with a custom bar won't be able to use them - if you use any code for them it disables the links completely. I found that out with my own and looking at other peoples' lookups. Custom sidebar=non-functioning links from the lookup page. Disabling any links has caused people to have their lookups cleared for "bad html", along with covering any user stats (shield, etc.)
Maybe at some point things will be changed/recoded so if we DO want our own sidebar, we can have them, but if you view source on your lookup page, the Neopets stuff is completely different than it was before. Even using the 0 left, 0 top (whatever) for something like "Lookup by ... " ends up way down - so you'd need to try negative positioning for a sidebar (nothing I want to try myself).

I looked at the news, saw the limes and my mind said "Yoshi's gonna freak."
