Hi there and Seasons Greetings from the Avatar crew!
Thanks for taking the time to read Avatar's newsletter offerings every month, we hope you have enjoyed all of our features in 2007. There'll be loads more tips, advice and news in the New Year, but in the meantime we hope you enjoy rearranging our baubles and our pick of the year's tastiest tidbits.
That just leaves us wishing you, "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!"
Update Your Web Site for 2008!
Don't let the New Year catch you out – double check that the prices, the date drop-downs on forms etc on your Web site are up to date for the New Year. If you need any Web updates doing, get in touch. (We may not be able to fit them in before Christmas, but we'll certainly try.)
Tastiest Tidbits of 2007
We've compiled the most popular tidbits from the last 12 months and thrown in a few festive crackers too. So even if you didn't miss them first time around, have a click and giggle again.
- Turn yourself into Santa's little helper. All you need is a photo of your face, then you can elf yourself and send a funny Christmas message to all who love you... no matter what.
- Help make Santa tubby. Feed Father Christmas a few mince pies, but whatever you do avoid the sprouts! Play game.
- Funny rocketeering antics. An inflatable ring and a little yellow, plastic hat were all that protected this Japanese rocket enthusiast as he was launched by bottle rockets into the sea.
- Create your South Park avatar. How many minutes did you spend turning yourself into a South Park cartoon character? We tried hard, but couldn't resist this tidbit.
- Play the block-building game. Even after of months of practice, the Bloxorz game could still prove to be a tricky one. How did you do?
- They look like their dogs. Back by popular demand, snapshots of people who really do look like their dogs.
- Keep your pet idiot busy. If you haven't sent this game onto someone yet, what are you waiting for? It's sublimely silly.
- Exercise your fingers. Work off the Christmas pudding with a mildly addictive keyboard workout and keep your fingers in tip-top typing condition for the New Year.
