User blog:Jessie1010/Austin & Ally Wiki Weekly -- June 6, 2012

Hey guys! it's that time again for another weekly blog post with updates for you guys! This week, we have more fun things to tell you about! Things you may enjoy! Keep reading for more!

{C} News Center 

Yup, we have a news center now! I thought it would be really fun if we could have a little news center where users could go find the latest news about Austin & Ally and the Austin & Ally Wiki! The News Center will be updated as new Austin & Ally news comes out! I got the idea from the A.N.T. Farm Wiki News Tower! Please post comments there about what you think about it. The News Center is aiming to be the next big thing on the wiki! Right now, it is being protected for admin edits only, only because there is a lot of coding on the page and until we can make it so that a user can edit in in visual without having to do things in coding first, we are keeping it protected. But that's not gonna stop you guys from helping out with the News Center! You can send your little news post to us at our wiki email (austinally@gmail.com) or send it to an admin in our message wall! If we approve of it, we'd be happy to post it in the News Center! And, if you make an outstanding blog post that must be spread to the entire wiki community, we may post about that, too! I think the News Center can be really fun! It's something that will be very hard to stay on top of but it should be fun!

''' New Emoticons! '''

So some of you may know what an emoticon is. If you don't, it is a little image that uses can put in the chat when they are chatting. For example, if you put a :) when you are typing, it'll come out as a little cartoon smiley face. Or if you put a ;( it'll come out as a little cartoon crying face. Some of them are even animated! Well, to make emoticons funner, we added a few extra ones for you to use in the chat! If you type: (austin) and click enter, you will see Austin's face in your message! if you type: (ally) and click enter, you will see Ally's face in your message! Same for Trish and Dez! It is very cool! But it doesn't stop there! If you type: (auslly) and click enter, you will see a picture of Austin & Ally! You can even out emoticons together to make really cool messages! Here are some codes that will work for other emoticons These emoticons are so much fun! Have fun!
 * (heart)- A heart
 * (heartbroken)- A broken heart
 * (cool)- A cool guy with sunglasses
 * (wink)- Winking face
 * (stop)- Stop sign
 * (angry)- Angry face
 * (mario)- Mario!
 * And so much more!

 Censor in Chat 

But, emoticons are not the only new feature in the chat. I also put a censor in the chat so if anyone curses, instead, this image will show up: If anyone sees any users using this image, they are cursing and must be reported. This will definitely reduce the use of curses in the chat! :)

 Disabling Anonymous Editing 

So as you all know, this wiki is disabling anonymous users from editing on the wiki. To disable anonymous users from editing on the wiki, we were told that we all need to confirm it with the Austin & Ally Wiki community. Keeping wikia contributors from editing and commenting will keep the wiki in order and will prevent vandalism, inappropriate comments, etc. So I made a talk page where we could all talk about it! Please state your username and tell if you agree or disagree to this. Please state your position ASAP as we will be sending this page to the Community Central Wiki as soon as we get at least 10 users. I recently did this over at the Jessie Wiki and it was a sucess! So help us here please! Thanks! Talk:Disable Anonymous Editing
