Tag Archive: Blogging


When someone starts a blog, one of the first and/or big question they have to answer is What is your blog going to be about?

For a lot of people, that’s a fairly narrow answer, like football, Transformers, the environment, etc. Even “everything about” a topic, like Twilight, isn’t all that broad. A blog on a theme becomes a focal point for something and aim to bring readers to them on that topic, like a a city in a state, where other blogs on the same topic are other cities, and each post is a new building in its city. Readers looking for something else would go elsewhere, like to another state or city.

For me, it was different. I chose to have a blog about pretty much anything and everything.

So why did I do this and how was I going to make it “succeed”?

Back on Feb 25 2009, I created a Hello Kitty / Sanrio collage for Facebook tagging meme games. In creating it, I had to collect a whole bunch of images of the characters. I was missing a few, as told to me by Commenter Jenna M. But since I have gone to find them (and discovered a few more!) and have them, here they are for your use! And Jenna M., whoever you are, this one’s for you! :-)

These are 256 x 256 pixels, which is large enough for most icons and avatar requirements. They’ve been resized, colour enhanced to have a bit more “punch”, and had as much pixelation as possible. This set is more complete than the Hello Kitty / Sanrio site. It has larger icons as they have 228 x 228 pixels and mine are 256×256. And these have better colour quality. Given all that, I dare say this is the best Hello Kitty / Sanrio collection of avatars and buddy icons on the Internet! You try and find as good an avatar as some of the ones here unless people steal them, which I know they will. But that’s OK. I’m all for sharing. Quite shockingly, for something as popular as Hello Kitty / Sanrio, I could hardly find anything for some characters among all the Google results. I had to drastically improve what was present for some characters to make them as good as they are here!

To get the icons, please:

Enjoy!

Contrary to the slightly nasty Facebook picture tagging meme of people who Should NOT do certain things given on Friday the 13th, this is a positive one to encourage people to try certain things as you think they should. The next one should be pretty fun!

In case you don’t recognize some of these people, they are as follows, left to right:

I’m too tired to put links to all these people but you can Google them, and maybe guess why I’ve put labeled each as such.
