We are pleased to say that WebbliWorld is now featured as one of the 'Great Sites' in the fun and games section of Kidsmart. In order to earn this position the site was reviewed by the Childnet International CEO and trustees and the feedback was extremely positive.
In addition, The Child Exploitation & Online Protection Centre and thinkyouknow.co.uk are also supporting WebbliWorld. We hope this reassures teachers and parents that WebbliWorld is entirely committed to providing a safe environment for children.

We've had very positive feedback from Simon at Digital-teacher.co.uk. He also suggested that WebbliWorld include parental permissions for email addresses. We'll make it a priority to add this to the registration page. We really appreciate comments from both teachers and pupils about the site, whether positive or negative. It all helps us to build a better WebbliWorld experience!

These are very exciting times. The convergence of TV and internet is fast approaching and we want to be at the forefront of that revolution.
Whilst there are already some fantastic online sites for children to visit we want to make the name WebbliWorld synonymous with quality both in terms of design and content. We know that we have a long way to ago to achieve our ultimate goals for WebbliWorld and now that the initial site has been launched we are already working to design and deliver phase two.
We are also interested to get feedback from both users and parents so that we can implement this in our future planning. We want to deliver an experience that is fun, exciting, enlightening and educational - not an easy task but with the fantastic team we have built - ultimately achievable!

Once again, I find myself lamenting the end of summer. Z starts back to school today (seventh grade!!! how did that happen?!?) and the warmest days of the year are now behind us here in Seattle. The only thing that is soothing my wounded heart is that the RIP season begins tomorrow. Stay tuned for that post shortly. Today, let's look back at August!
I'm so glad I finally got to S! It did take me longer than normal to read but my mind stayed in that world for days afterward and I kept forgetting that I had finished the book.
I decided to choose something from my TBR that was the complete opposite of an RIP read so I went with The Foundling, a Heyer regency romance. However, it turned out to be ridiculously perilous! It was also quite funny and sweet though so it turned out to be a perfect summer read.
I anticipate a LOT of TBR reads in September and October as I always save some books just for this season. My first will be Ghostly Echoes, the third Jackaby story, which just came out. I am also doing another TBR cull at the moment. As I get closer to having all of my unread books fit in one small bookcase (and a nightstand), I also have been a bit more honest with myself about which books I keep skipping over when I look for a new read.
So did you try to figure out the clues and weird stuff in S, or did you just enjoy it and not worry? I didn't feel like I wanted to do all that work. ;)
And no, I didn't bother figuring out the clues myself. I'm not great at codes. I did try and keep track of all of the author possibilities but even got turned around in all of that too. :)
S! Isn't S fun? I had it for review a while ago and shamefacedly admit that I didn't get around to posting about it ever. I felt awful about it and I still do and that's why I've never reread it even though it was super fun to read. :p
It was definitely fun. It was weird to care about three different stories at once! I want to do an actual post too but I'm not sure where to start.
It had been so long since I read the first two that I'm rereading both (listening, actually) and I'm glad I did because I had forgotten the bulk of the plot. Now I'm ready for the film and to get to the third book!
