First let travel guru Nick Vivion give you the once-over on hot spots from all over the world and in your backyard.

"The world is random, and so am I! I am a wanderer with a camera and an open heart. Live life on my own terms and suffer the consequences. I hope to bring you a slice of the world that you may have never known, or make you look at your own slice just a little bit differently. Wide-eyed living is the key to sustaining a love-filled world." - Nick

Persona Pic's On Profile Pages

We're rolling out the new enhancements on virtualEshopping.com. Our new social networking features are fun and exciting to see come to fruition. Not just your run of the mill site, we're bringing forward our 3D mall elements to our 2D profile pages.

That means instead of a photo for your profile page, you have a snapshot of your persona that you created in the mall:

Every time you change your persona in the mall, it will update on your profile page and in all your friends lists with you in it. So you can change your look as you wish. Much better than in real life, huh? People do post old pictures of themselves on Facebook, etc., but where else can totally change the way you look on demand? ;)

With your friends list, all your friends' profile pic's are persona snapshots too.

Pretty fun, huh? Let us know what you think - either here or at support@virtualEshopping.com.

So I posted my note on Shopping Tips below:

Note that you can view the entire list of shopping tips by clicking the "More" link at the bottom and you can screen by friends, singles and all view at the top.

Check it out, add your best shopping tips and check out.

As always, we encourage your suggestions here or email us at support@virtualeshopping.com.

How to Add Your Own Favorite Store

We have over 150 stores in our mall but we want to give you the opportunity to share your favorites - whether they are currently in our mall or not. So when you're choosing your favorite stores from our aphabetical directory, if one of your favorites is not among them, we give you a way to customize your list to add out of mall stores.

When you click the select favorite stores link on your profile page, you will see a customize link at the bottom of the directory page.

Note that our upload system only supports .jpg and .png images. Many logo's on web pages are in .gif or .bmp format. So if you can't find a logo in either of our two supported formats, one option is to do a google search for the logo of the store you want. Select the images link on google and type a search for the logo of say, Best Buy. Find a .jpg image of the logo and right click on the image to save it to your desktop.

You may want to change the name from "images.jpg" to bestbuy.jpg so it will be easier for you to see and select later.

Next you'll upload the image from your desktop into the system by clicking the browse button on the upload screen.

If you've done it correctly, you'll see the logo in the upload screen. Then, enter the URL (web address) of the store (ex: http://www.bestbuy.com/) and the name of the store, "Best Buy."

Then you'll see your logo appear in your favorite stores list of logos.

Cool, huh?! You can always change the order of your favorites and remember, only the first seven display on your profile page.

When you select a favorite store that is not in our system, we send them an email with your name (but not your contact information) that tells them you have added them as a favorite and invites them to put a store in our mall. You can see the email that is sent by clicking on the "see what you'll send them" link on the upload screen.

Have fun with this new social shopping tool and as always, let us know what you think at support@virtualEshopping.com.
