Do you want to add a touch of SanrioTown even to blogs that are outside of the community? How about being updated with the latest SanrioTown news on your non-SanrioTown site? You can do so by using the SanrioTown Flash RSS Reader!
Currently compatible with Wordpress, Blogger, Typepad, and Myspace, the SanrioTown Flash Reader (http://rsstool.sanriotown.com) is a free, easy-to-use application that allows you to display RSS feeds from other sites into your own blog or website inside a customizable Flash box. What will appear on your site will be the latest news that will appear on the official blog of SanrioTown (http://blog.sanriotown.com). It's very simple and easy to use: all you have to do is fill up the form and it will generate the code that you need to put up in your blog. Aside from the main blog, other SanrioTown sites that you can have the option of getting the feeds are the Blog All-Stars, Hello Kitty World, and the Director's Club blogs.

All About: Fun Come Alive
Year Created: 1983
Whoever said that boys, sports, and fashion don't mix together haven't met these cool bears yet! All three are students at the Los Angeles Bears Academy. The only thing that can equal their skill in sports is their cool Ivy League fashion sense.

Blog Tutorial: Advanced: Putting a ClustrMap on Your Blog
Some of you have probably noticed that some blogs have a little map showing where their blog visitors are coming from. (If you're not sure what that is, you can check out a sample on our right sidebar by scrolling down a bit.) If you're interested in knowing which side of the world the people who've dropped by and checked your blog out are from, read this tutorial to find out.
The service provider that most, if not all, SanrioTown members are using is ClustrMaps (http://clustrmaps.com/). Go to their site and create your own account. Don't worry, because their service is free by default, but you can avail of their premium service if you want to. Initially, all you need to do is to enter your e-mail address and your blog URL. In terms of the latter, make sure that you enter the actual URL, which goes like http://blog.sanriotown/(username):(cobrand.com (ex. blog.sanriotown.com/tgmoderator01:hellokitty.com) and not the redirect URL (ex. http://blog.hellokitty.com/tgmoderator01). After filling all these necessary information and then sending it, you should be able to receive your initial password on the e-mail address that you provided there. Check your e-mail, and then sign in to your ClustrMaps account. You should be able to see various HTML code options. Scroll down until you get to the"Minimalist" option, because this is the option you'll be needing for your SanrioTown blog.
If you don't have one yet, open a new window for SanrioTown (http://www.sanriotown.com/). Sign in to your account and go to your Blogroll. Opt to create a new link. However, if you want to make things a bit tidier, you might choose to create a new category (click on the "Manage" tab and then go to "Categories") specifically for your ClustrMap. Either way, once you're on the "Add Links" page, type in "ClustrMap" on the "Name" field. Back on your ClustrMaps page, copy the first line within the double quotation marks (ex. http://www3.clustrmaps.com/counter/maps.php?url=http://blog.sanriotown.com) and then paste it on to the "Address" field. Lastly, get the second line within the double quotation marks (ex. http://www3.clustrmaps.com/stats/maps-no_clusters/blog.sanriotown.com-thumb.jpg) and then paste it on the "Image Address" field (found near the bottom of the "Add Links" page). Choose to save this by clicking on the "Save Changes" button.
Note: If you made a different category for your ClustrMap, make sure you tick on the appropriate option before you save it.
Congratulations! You now have a ClustrMap on your blog! If you want to see a more in-depth map detailing where your visitors are coming from, simply click on the small image on your blog.

It's light-hearted and chirpy to help you catch your breath and take a break from your busy schedule.

Dream Studio Video of the Week!
A lot of people love collecting stuff, especially when it comes to things with their favorite characters on it. For some, it remains but a dream to have a whole bunch of these items, sometimes only sticking to only a few pieces for a variety of reasons.
Happily for candi, she doesn't have to go through that, and she can share her Hello Kitty collection with us through her Dream Studio video. Simply titled "My Sanrio Plushies," she features her huggable toys, including Hello Kitty, Dear Daniel, and their friends, in a very cute, unique style. Add fun music and special effects, and you have one video that's almost too cute to handle.:D

Blog of the Week!
Percy Bysshe Shelley once said, "Are we not formed, as notes of music are / For one another, though dissimilar?"
These words can actually be used to describe our featured blog for today. Simply titled "Lucila," after the author's name, the blog at first seems to be a combination of things that are relatively different from each other. Music, anime, videos, games, sports... These are just some of the topics that she tackles on in her blog.
However, when you read the entries, you'll realize that it's really all connected, not because of their topics, but because these are the interests of one person who not only loves these, but also enjoys writing about these things. Add these with occasional peeks on Lucila's life and you'll get to know about this person who has a zest for life and has fun with it.
