I am sure you all have heard about “Social Networking” and “Micro-Blogging” recently…many of you may wonder what the heck the hoopla is all about like I did.  Curiosity got the best of me when I signed up for TWITTER about 6 months ago and just this week finally put it to the test.

Immediately to your left on the blog homepage, you will see the new Twitter widget I put on the Pandarazzi blog. You will always be able to find it in the left hand column of the blog on any of the pages you are visiting

SAWATDEE

Instead of sending out blog posts about every little thing we find of interest to the PANDARAZZI audience, Elise and I are posting many of the trivia items and PANDARAZZI brainstorming on the microblog at TWITTER.  There is a little scroll bar on the right of Twitter widget rectangle to see all our recent TWITTER posts

CLICK ON ANY OF THE TWITTER POST TOPICS TO BRING YOU TO THE CORRESPONDING LINK

CLICKING ON THE PANDA IN THE TWITTER WIDGET BOX SENDS YOU TO MY TWITTER PROFILE

Driving Around Phuket and Scenic Overlooks

Sometimes the link is a photo or a website we would love for you to see or maybe just a post about a good ethnic restaurant we went to.  They are very short posts…under 120 characters.  Kind of like a communication appetizer!  I can even Twitter pix from my iPhone on my travels which means REAL TIME updates and images of your panda cubs and moonbears!!

This helps us share much more information on the blog without having to post on PANDARAZZI  more than once a day.  Checking the TWITTER widget in the sidebar each time you visit will provide a wealth of info. There are times that Elise and I will post to TWITTER 20 times or more a day depending on the info I have.  Right now I’m putting all the MISSION MOONBEAR sponsors up …..I’m still adding names but yours will be up soon.

Chengdu Panda Base February, 2008

As long as I was on a roll with the Elephant book, I decided it was time I finish my panda book as well.  I plan to take a leather cover copy of this to give to the Panda Base when I return next year as a gift.  I still have some proofing to do as well as insert a few of my more recent Project Panda jewelry designs…but for the most part, it is ready to publish.

What a job……my bottom is permanently molded to my computer chair but this is one of those projects that got put on the back burner until I could get my new computer.  The old one was just too slow and frustrating to do graphics etc with.

There will eventually be a book/slideshow on each of the 4 headers in CAPS under RECENT PROJECTS in the sidebar to the left.

CLICK THE PHOTO OF THE PANDA TO BRING THE SHOW-UP NICE AND LARGE..CLICKING ON ANY IMAGE  AGAIN WILL GIVE YOU SINGLE PAGES INSTEAD OF THE DOUBLE LAYOUT

 

And GREAT NEWS on the Mission Moonbear front!!!  Only ONE sponsorship square is left so grab it while you can.  All the sponsors for this moonbear will be sooooooooooo thrilled at the moonbear I was able to choose for us!!!!!!

As soon as I speak with the director of Animals Asia US again I will be able to release the details…hopefully, this week!!!  You guys are gonna FREAK!!  I hate keeping secrets!!

Building a close-knit community around a quilt has been an age-old custom in many countries. I am looking forward to the same concept applying to Mission Moonbear as well.  Albeit the quilt is not fabric, it will end up being a stunning and affordable poster that anyone can purchase after all the squares are purchased and I assemble the final graphic.

ANY QUESTIONS……PLEASE DON’T HESITATE TO EMAIL ME.

Thank you, my dear friends, for working with me on helping our little moonbear!!!
