What is Whyville Insider All About?

So you may be wondering, what IS Whyville Insider? Well, I can tell you what it's not.

Whyville Insider is NOT a cheat site.  If you're looking for cheats, you've come to the wrong place. I do, however, post game tutorials and helpful tips. I do NOT give the answers or cheats to games, I don't show you how to remake or how to hack an account or scam. I believe in fair play, both in real life and in Whyville.

Whyville Insider was originally created a few years ago by me, jelloroks, to write an article to win the coveted Whylitzer. I had seen so many useless blogs created on the internet, where a person would win the Whylitzer, and never post on it again. I didn't want to do that. I stuck with my blog. I updated it with Whyville news and events, games, contests, quizzes, game guides and reviews, and more. And to my surprise, Whyville Insider was a hit! Many Whyvillians had commented on blog posts or y-mailed me and told me how much they loved my blog. I even had a few city workers mention it! I was thrilled.

As I got older, I stopped visiting Whyville as much and consequently stopped updating my blog as often. One day I decided I would log into Whyville again and check up on Whyville Insider, and to my dismay, Whyville Insider was POOF, gone. Erased from the internet. Non-existant. And why? I have no idea. So after trying and failing to revive my blog, I recreated it. I was able to find and repost some old articles I wrote on the new Whyville Insider. Unfortunately, I could not find my Whylitzer article.

Anyway, here's to the rebirth of Whyville Insider! *clink*

The New (And Not Really Improved) Whyville Insider

Hello, world and all who inhabit it! Jelloroks here, you may remember I created a little blog I created a few years ago called Whyville Insider. You may remember all the the game tutorials, helpful hints, clam-earning tips, cool contests, and fun articles I regularly posted. Well, I'm here to tell you THAT'S ALL GONE! IT'S NEVER COMING BACK!

Now hold up, wipe away those tears. Let me explain.

As I got older and busier, I didn't update Whyville Insider as much as I should have. I forgot about it for a little while, and stopped logging into Whyville too. Then one day I decided I would check up on Whyville and my blog, see what was new. And to my horror, the blog Whyville Insider DOES NOT EXIST?! WHAT?! All the blood sweat and tears I poured into the blog, all gone in an instant!

So I did some research about why my blog had disappeared, why all traces of it were wiped off the internet machine, and came up with... nothing. But I didn't want to give it up, so I remade my blog. I have been able to salvage a few articles from the original Whyville Insider and will be posting them on this new one, along with brand new articles.

Whyville Insider will never die!
