Announcing the NEW and IMPROVED Blog Squad!

 The HDA blog squad have been working hard, behind the scenes, in secret for MONTHS now to bring you the NEW AND IMPROVED REVAMPED BLOG SQUAD!


The new blog squad team will be made up of the Editor-In-Chief (me/Lana/Vibrational etc.) my Rep (BestOfTheOGs/Maddy/Amazing Super Rep!) PLUS three new leadership roles:

GRAPHICS EDITOR
Creating the *lewk* of the blog

IRL EDITOR
Responsible for creating content about REAL LIFE!

Habbo/HDA Editor
You guessed it, responsible for creating content related to HDA/Habbo

Then they have people working on their teams to create content with them. The blog used run like this: 

Pick a topic, write about that topic ALONE, and then publish. Rinse and repeat. 

NOW we are encouraging more teamwork and collaboration! This has resulted in some FANTASTIC content created, including content about HDA’s PETS! Quizzes! Even talking about tough issues like depression and anxiety, and asking HDA members what they are *really* going through. Plus we have had some STUNNING art to go with our content. Plus there is MORE to COME!

Does this sound like something you want to be a part of? JOIN NOW! Applications are OPEN!

I would now like to introduce you to your editors...​ (and why they think you should join)

Lana’s Rep: BestOfTheOGs
Why did you join the blog squad?
I joined Blog Squad because I found the division to be rather unique and creative compared to other divisions. It’s also something that I see I can do as a hobby.
What is the best thing about being a part of the blog squad?
The people, culture, ideas; there's a whole list of them! It’s an environment where people can freely express their thoughts and ideas without the fear of being judged. It’s also a place where I get to develop a friendship with a lot of them!

What advice would you give to people who want to join the blog squad but are a bit uncertain?
My advice is to give it a go first :) You don’t need outstanding skills or anything to be a part of Blog Squad! It’s meant to be something people do for a side-hobby or stress relief/fun thing. Blog Squad uses everyone’s strengths to accomplish things and there’s so many roles and potential an individual can have.

What are you most excited about in the future of the blog squad?
I look forward to seeing the team expand and reach newer and more people! My goal on the team is to either raise awareness on certain topics or entertain those who read the blogs. It’s my passion and there’s no greater feeling than knowing more and more people read and enjoy what we do!

Tell us about yourself! What do you like to do when you're not on Habbo/creating things for the blog?
I’m Maddy :D I’m in my last year of high school and I’m very passionate about my subjects. I love talking to people for a start because I get to know and understand their stories! IRL, I play competitive soccer on the weekends and I love going on bush-walks and the beach. I’m also a bit of an introvert so you’ll likely catch me studying rather than partying

HDA / Habbo Editor: poofhehe
Why did you join the blog squad? 
- I joined the blog squad because writing is one of my talents and I wanted to showcase it in front of everyone. I have improved so much in this division and got to represent myself to everyone, this squad has helped me a lot both professionally and personally :3. Even improved in the editing/graphics sector which is what I always wanted . 

What is the best thing about being a part of the blog squad?
- The best part about it is that I am free to show my ideas freely and express them in front of everyone. That is the main thing I love about writing/blogging and then come great friends with it who always support and help for every step if needed.

What advice would you give to people who want to join the blog squad but are a bit uncertain? 
-Well as per me, do not think that writing is the ONLY thing you can do in this division we have different roles and if suitable one can also be a contributor to the blog squad who provides ideas for us to work on !! One could even reach out to us regarding where they excel and we could always show case that too !~

What are you most excited about in the future of the blog squad? 
-I am honestly so excited to see more members in the squad and the squad popping with varieties of blogs which will reach out to everyone and entertain them or connect with them and a platform where everyone will be free to show off their talent and ideas !!

Tell us about yourself! What do you like to do when you're not on Habbo/creating things for the blog?
 - Well I am Amruta and mostly all of you would be knowing me as "poofhehe/poof". I am weird and I have terrible humor, I am a trained dancer and a good writer too, My terrible humor can make you laugh I promise, well I am kind of a perfectionist (cannot help it I'm a Virgo ;3) I can speak four languages but it's hard for me to make friends. I am from India. I usually study or practice dance routines when not working on anything related to HDA. I hope this sums me up! Love you all~

Graphics Editor: _SkyLuna_
Why did you join the blog squad?
  - I joined the blog squad because I am really into doing graphics especially when it comes to habbo. I was once a graphic artist for ThisHabbo and I wanted to do more of these with HDA <3

What is the best thing about being apart of the blog squad?
  - the best thing about being a part of the blog squad is being able to express your creativity and ideas. You'll be able to share your hidden talents and share stories that would gain more bond with the members.

What advice would you give to people who want to join the blog squad but are a bit uncertain? 
   - At first, I was uncertain of joining the blog squad as well. But when I read a few blogs on  our website, it got me thinking, I wanna be a part of that squad. There's nothing wrong in trying. If you enjoy what you do, and you have this amazing talent of writing or doing graphics, join us now! <3 the people are amazing :)

What are you most excited about in the future of the blog squad?
   - More blog creatives <3 and more people to join this amazing squad! :)

  - Hello! I am Chyna <3 I am from the Philippines <3 I am 20 years old and I am in my second year in uni, taking up Computer Science. I usually do school works 60% of my time when I'm not on habbo and eat :) or I play CoDMobile, Mobile Legends, Among us and other games with my boyfriend of almost 3 years and some of the habbo friends I made for the past 9 months <3 I am currently learning how to do digital art and I love watching series <3 I am shy at first, but when I get to know you, I can be very very talkative and outgoing :)

Why did you join the blog squad?
I have a really bad social skill and I think I express my emotions through my writings well. So I think Blog Squad really helps me in expressing my inner self. Before joining the Blog Squad I really had fun reading every blog the members posted, so I thought I want to do the same and create many contents that people would enjoy. Hence that's why I'm in the team! 

What is the best thing about being apart of the blog squad?
It's fun as you can create variety of contents— Habbo or IRL. It also helps you think out of the box too! I'm actually studying to become a producer, so Blog Squad really helps me alot in sharpening my skill to create different-from-others kind of contents. It's great to see how people help one another in brainstorming ideas from their blogs too! Teamwork makes the dream work!! 

What advice would you give to people who want to join the blog squad but are a bit uncertain? 
I would say don't doubt yourself too much! We have many Editors that could help you and you won't be alone. If you need help you just need to reach out to any of the Editors and don't keep the problem to yourself. And lastly just enjoy!! 

What are you most excited about in the future of the blog squad?
I have always been excited waiting for a new blog ever since I joined HDA and I still am! There are so many talented members and their contents are really good. I'm looking forward to more blogs by our members!! 

Tell us about yourself! What do you like to do when you're not on Habbo/creating things for the blog?

I am taking Communication Degree in university and looking forward to become a great Producer in the future—TV News or Radio. People would think I have a great social skill since I'm studying for Communication but I'm actually not :joy: When I'm not on Habbo I would doodling for fun and make some crafts—bracelets and embroidery.
