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*

Hello, whyvillians. First I'd like to apologize for the lack of updates; I haven't actively been on Whyville for quite some time. Also I may start regularly posting again sometime later this year. Now to the announcement.

As you may know, this blog was created for me to get the whylitzer prize, and I have done so. Now, I'm giving you the opportunity to do so too. Instead of wasting internet space (what?), why not have me publish your articles here?

Interested? Just ymail me your article at jelloroks, or email me at whyvilleinsider@gmail.com. Please make sure to edit and spell check your article before sending it. Also please put the subject line as "whylitzer" or something along those lines so I don't think it's spam. DON'T FORGET TO PUT YOUR USERNAME! If your username is hard to read (like i's for l's) please specify that.

If and when I publish your article, send the link OF THE SPECIFIC POST to whylitzer@whyville.net. If you don't know how to do that ymail me and I'll explain.

Good luck on winning your whylitzer!

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!
