"Transition" (The End)

The Final Post

Dear Followers,

This blog has been fun.

I guess, after all this time, it's safe to say we have certainly pursued thoughtful endeavors.

However, Zoodle must now come to a close.

When I created this blog, I was experimenting: what did I enjoy writing about? Was I good at creating and maintaining a site/blog? Was it exciting to work collaboratively? And certainly, Zoodle has served its purpose in that way; by bringing me a step closer to me understanding what I want to do with my ever-changing interests.

I think it has helped me.

So, while the Zoodle Factory may need to be shut down (hey, blame it on the economy), and the zoodles aren't always as green-supporting as they used to be, I think the heart, mind and soul of Zoodle shall live on. Live on in the hearts...souls...and..minds of its [current] former readers.

What does this mean for the future of this blog? Who knows. Not even I know!

Thank you Donald, Eragon1993, ~Knute, and Queso for all your posts, and to all the followers of this blog: I thank you especially for reading!

I wish you all a good day!

Cheers,

David

Zoodle's 1 year Anniversary

Has it been one year already? Well, considering exactly 365 days have passed since the blog's debut post, I guess that would make today its first year anniversary. I think now would be a good time to reflect on Zoodle's progress thus far...

1. We've managed to keep writing faithfully and not abandoning Zoodle altogether in the first place. It's an all-too-common tragedy that many-a-blog faces wherein an author becomes either too busy or lazy to write (or in this case, "zoodle"): we've managed to stay out of this rut! Let's hope it stays that way.

2. We've found our blog's color and themes that work and have stuck with them. Experimenting is always a good idea, but the switch from rainbow-colored letters in our logo to straight orange was definitely an improvement! Also the light green, orange and blue colors do well to give Zoodle its authentic edge.

3. We've added additional authors to write posts. Having five authors has made Zoodle all the more interesting and unique. I believe it's probably the most significant step this blog has taken to date. What's better than a person pursuing something thoughtfully? Several persons pursuing something thoughtfully!

4. The zoodle characters (creatures?) have given our blog a personality. Not only have they inspired the Resighk Man and The Incredible KayNein stories, but the zoodles have served as a vehicle for some of our posts of satire, and our innovation proclamation. How do you think Zoodle Inc. got started, anyway?

5. Zoodle has been read by a vast variety of audiences, from the indicative inquisitive individual, to the searching sheet-music specimen. An article from this blog has even been read aloud in a high school classroom. Many of these recipients have even contacted us!

Hmm. So it seems this humble blog-the project that started a year ago-has turned out to be adequately decent. Of course it has many more roads to travel before it becomes amazing, but as long as we stay true to the generic theme of Zoodle, and follow the points of the innovation proclamation, perhaps one day this blog will be extraordinary!!

I guess you could say this is the first post of Zoodle's second generation. Wouldn't it be cool if I linked an annual post once every year to the year prior? Well, I guess we'll see what happens next year. For now, we wish you an upcoming Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

New Zoodle Press Conference: COMING SOON

Things sure are brewing here at Zoodle Inc. in Seattle, Washington. We are proud to announce that a brand-new Innovation Proclamation will be presented soon. We hope to give you the top reasons for this blog's success, adding to our previous presentation.

Of course, who knows when we will release it. "Soon", as the title states will have to suffice for now.

"Project Orange"? #35

What is Project Orange? That's what all the zoodleswant to know.

Recently, here at Proj--err, I mean Zoodle we have been working hard to create a new program that will unite websites and enhance the internet one site at a time. We're not allowed to tell you what it's called yet.

For those of you who worry, you should finish worrying now. First off, 99% of the things you worry about don't happen (according to some study) and secondly because I foresee the name of this blog not changing, not to mention the themes, writers, and ideas will remain the same. But an anonymous team of Zoodlers will soon be revealed...and there will be some slight change to the this blog. Err, on second thought, forget the "slight" part.

Anyway, as you wait (anxiously, I'm sure) for this secret to be revealed, we invite you to take a peek at this...page of no significance.

The Project Orange Program

(don't get your hopes up. As informative as the above link looks, at least as of now it won't tell you much more then what I have told you already)

Why is Zoodle so much farther than the other blogs? The Innovation Proclamation #27

This is the most important part in creating a successful blog. We do our best to construct the most imaginative content possible. Sometimes, “zoodling” (meaning doodling in writing) sparks a fantastic idea, which leads to other incredible ideas, created a vicious cycle that encompasses a vast amount of imagination. This is the key to unlocking thoughtful pursuits.

Zoodle tries to appeal to all audiences. The means Zoodle is family friendly. The blog is squeaky clean of all profanity or explicit content of any kind. We boast both a somewhat mature, dignified perspective and also possess an explorative, youthful perspective as well. We also attempt to unearth good morals and humor in our short stories, when we can.

Surprising our readers with new, exciting content has them on the edge of their seat for what’s next. Who knows if we will critique a Starbucks drink, find a new way to protect the environment, or update you on the newest accomplishments in the Zoodle Factory. There are no limitations for what we post, except what we can’t put on a computer screen.

Need sheet music we commercialize? Require assistance finding a picture we mention? Appreciate a source link from our current event? We do our best to cite and direct our content’s sources so we don’t leave you wondering where we picked up that interesting story from. And if we happen to not provide a source, feel free to ask for one!

Although this blog is on a variety of topics, there is an unmistakable style to this blog. Style is one of the key features needed in having a blog stick out. With pleasing colors, consistent zoodle themes, and a simple layout, the Zoodle blog is like none-other. Having a cool header, sidebar for useful and interesting content and a footer for information and fun, the layout is both compact and extensive.

What a better way to show you care by going green. Protecting the environment is important to us, seeing as without trees we wouldn’t have paper or furniture or houses or picture frames or axe handles or anything like that. Also, since going green is predominantly hip, we have a foot hold on popular culture’s interests, thus attracting vast audiences. Since we feel this way, Resighk Man-the hero in green-has agreed to heavily endorse this blog. With this Repsycolution in place, blog and man will try and make the world a healthier, greener place.

These 6 unique features are, without a doubt, the reason for our blog’s success. Engaging these endeavors has resulted in international popularity from around the world, global acknowledgment from on the planet, and intrigue from the internet on the whole world wide web. Redundancy invokes repetition.

This ends the Zoodle Inc. press conference. Thank you for listening. Stay tuned for more!
