When Pigs Fly

If you already know our history, read this anyway… because you might have missed some things.

It all started when I was searching Google for some funny CP pics. I found a pic that redirected me to Bbfreeze’s old Freewebs site. It looked pretty cool so I made my own.

 On May 8, 2008, I created a site called The Mr Mohawk Website. It didn’t get that many views. In fact, to this day it only has 747 views. If you want to visit it anyway, click the link> http://www.freewebs.com/mrmohawk/index.htm I posted there for only 5 months.

After just creating my site, I discovered a link on Bbfreeze’s old site redirecting me to Tigirl’s WordPress Site. I went on her site almost everyday. And then I found some other links! One lead to Ilan’s site and one lead to Madison’s Site. (I was too lazy to click on all the links)

Ilan’s site was touching, and it still is… so I went there for A while. I also visited Madison’s site. But at that time I didn’t know either of real names. I still visited Tigirl’s site, but I spread out my time between the 3 sites. I soon found Shae’s site from clicking a link on Madison’s site, and discovered “Blue Puff’s Green Day Blog” I decided to go there whenever possible too. All 4 of these sites were/are awesome! And all of them were made on WordPress. So guess what?

I made a WordPress Site! It was called The Mr Mohawk Website 2.0. When Shae added my to her blogroll, it said “The Mr Mohawk Site V2″ That’s where I got the idea for the Mohawk Shop V2. I copied Heatblast for the theme and chose Freshy, The CPTV site’s original theme. There were some problems with that theme, so I changed my theme to Andreas09. I already had authors on the site, so I didn’t want the name to be just about me. I had a poll earlier on about what name should I change the site to. I forgot what option won because I ended up not changing the site name after that poll. But I remembered Two Pointz as one of the options.

It sounded cool at the time, and it didn’t focus on me. So I changed the site’s name to Two Pointz. I acctually made an other blog called Three Pointz, but that site wasn’t too successful.

I eventually realized that making every post about Club Penguin was yes, unlimited, but it was also boring (in my opinion). I decided that my authors and I shouldn’t be limited to posting just about Club Penguin. Ilan’s site is about everything but Club Penguin. So I incorporated life into the mix.

Since I changed the whole “posting theme” of the blog, I might as well change the name too. I thought about my fav animal; Pigs. And how people say , “When Pigs Fly!!! HA!!!” I thought of it as a cool name for a site. And yes… That’s what I changed the name to.

I started posting stuff that you can learn on April 2009. Even though the hits were going up dramatically, I knew that I could get more by not posting “educationally.” But it was kind of fun.

Education was now part of When Pigs Fly, so I wanted to make a site that was made of education. So I created 8×11. I chose the name bacause 8×11 inches is the average size of a blank sheet of paper; where cool stuff is recorded.

That about sums up When Pigs Fly’s history!

So far…

                     Hope you enjoyed the post!
