Today I get to sit down with a very special individual – someone who means a ton to me – my very own dad, (and the Webkinz Newz Editor), Andy McWoof!
EM- Hi dad! Welcome to your interview!
AM- Thanks, hon.
EM- So, dad – the new Webkinz Newz design is up and I hear it’s getting rave reviews. What do you think about that?
AM – Well, I’m thrilled of course! Here at the Newz, my first concern is making our readers happy. If the new design does that, amazing! When we thought about redesigning the way the Newz looks, we considered how easy we wanted to make it to use. We also thought about all of the fun articles, crafts, recipes and contests we could add to the site so that our friends come back and visit us every single day!
EM – What’s all this I hear about “Webkinz Newzapalooza?” What’s that about?
AM – Webkinz Newzapalooza is our huge, gigantic, stupendous celebration of the Newz. It’s happening for a whole week – starting today and ending next Wednesday. There’s a recipe scavenger hunt, contests, amazing prizes to be won, crafts, ideas, how-to articles, games, the chance to talk to the Creative Director and Plumpy – you name it, we have it!
EM- Woah. That sounds like SO much fun, dad!
AM – That’s the idea!
EM – You heard it here first, readers! The Newz is all new, totally awesome, and Webkinz Newzapalooza is a celebration you DON’T want to miss!
I like the setup! It is so cool. I always had wanted to see what Kinzville looked like! I really like that I can see the WHOLE Kinzville and also Zumwhere is awesome too! Webkinz is AWESOME!!!
I have been trying to contact someone about how to get my results in tournament area and I still don;t know where and how to.It would be nice if the have a place where you can e-mail them directly to let them know if your having problems. I like playing all the games and i need help. please……
WOW! so many new things! When i logged in i didn’t know what to do first! And i also have 31 webkinz including mouse kinz clip 1 zum and retired cheey monkey!
All right. thats cool. :)
Em? Am? Are those real names? I’m so not naming any of my webbies that!
SWEET! I LOVE THE NEW SETUP!!
I love the Newz! Also for people who don’t know, prizes float across the screen. So the prize today Feb. 16 is the poster. The poster will float by on your screen :) Hope this helps!

We much prefer this design compared to the old one. We like the colors better too.
One thing that we don’t like is the scroll bar menu at the top. W would rather see all the tabs at once.
And for the younger kids who can’t read yet it would be really nice if you had an image that could show so that they know what they are looking for…Like for Mazin Hamsters you could put a little face of a Hamster. Little pictures of everything.
Great work though – I am really loving the Newzapalooza too – Thank you for making this so much fun!!
Also, could you add a section? A trading area where we can trade by shopping at other users ‘stores’. (without seeing into their account). They would be able to drag items they want to get rid of, trade or giveaway!
Instead of going into the trading room where you are limited to 9 other people who might be busy for a long time.
This way you could see what sort of items you like, make a suggested offer by dragging the items you would be willing to trade. And, the next time that person logs in to Webkinz World (or here at WKN) they would see an alert and they can either confirm or counter-offer. What do you think?!
Yours kindly,
The Exoteric Family!
