Hey Purple Yoshi your site is doing great!! Wow 16000 visitors. How can win i awards i mean my site is a year old and new yoshi sites have more awards than i do.

I haven't been giving out my regular award for quite a while because I thought that if too many people won it, it would lose it's effect. However, I'm still giving out my annual awards at the end of this year. Most likely I will give them for the same categories as last year, though I might add one or two. To see to winners of last year, click on the link "PYP Annual Awards" on the navigation bar.

I know how to get the Black and White Yoshi, but is Purple yoshi in Yoshi Story, because it is impossible to get every single coin in every single level. And is there really a Rainbow Yoshi at the Lift Castle, and I've been hearing rumours about a gold Yoshi, if you get all the levels in the trial mode and get first place in the top five for each level, then play the whole Story mode without losing a Yoshi at all. Tell me which "Yoshi Story" is true?
a.) Purple Yoshi
b) Rainbow Yoshi
c) Gold Yoshi
P.S: Luv Ur Site and looking all the different types and colours of Yoshis.

Unfortunately, the only yoshis that are in Yoshi's Story are green, red, pink, blue, light blue, yellow, black and white. There are many fake codes on the internet about earning Purple Yoshi, Rainbow Yoshi, or Gold Yoshi. I've seen a couple of them myself, though they aren't real codes. I don't know why people would waste their time writing such codes, but they do not work. Purple Yoshi has only appeared in Yoshi's Island and Super Mario Sunshine, and the other two have never appeared in a game.

How can I draw a yoshi?

Response
I am not the best yoshi artist, though I recommend having a picture of yoshi to work from. Even if you are not drawing that picture exactly, it is easier than having to work with a picture of yoshi in your head. I don't recommend tracing a picture because it won't prove anything.

I'm a kid web builder, and I'm working on a site dedicated to yoshi, and I was wondering, how do you make custom made graphics???

In order to make custom graphics, you need some kind of image program. Most computers come with MS Paint (also called Paint). Though the program is very limited, you will be able to make custom graphics for your website. I recommend getting Photoshop 7. You can either purchase it, or download it off the internet. It is a much more complicated program, though it offers much more. Good luck on your website!
