    Valentine Webpage competition has begun


    Come and join our valentine webpage competition, we're open for any pet!

    To make a valentine inspired page on Petizens.com is very simple; we're the first social networking site where you can actually make a page according to your wishes, you don't need to learn HTML, CSS or other complicated scripts. On Petizens.com just drag and drop photos, videos, blog, guestbook, etc to your page. Then you can resize them, change their backgrounds, fonts, captions, etc.

    As you can see on Karma's valentine page (pictured here), you can put the stickers (small transparent animated or static images) anywhere on your page, to really personalize it. Further down on Karma's page there is a video player that plays music as well as lots of other pictures. You can make the page as long as you want and add as much fun stuff you like.

    Want to try it out (without registering and uploading anything), then go to the Petizens Experience page!

    Enjoy

    Got our MySpace page up... finally

    I knew that MySpace was VERY hard to use, but I had no idea that it would take me a week to be figure out how to make a page that would look like Petizens.com in look and feel. It took me only 10min on Blogger. No wonder that MySpace are losing users.
    I kept searching for help on how to deal with the CSS for MySpace, but most people that made nice layouts for MySpace did it before the new 2.0 version of MySpace and they didn't update their CSS codes.
    One of the reasons we made www.petizens.com was to let anyone make a nice customized page for their pet, I knew that MySpace had a million pet profiles, but clearly not many of them knew HTML or CSS, so they all looked more or less the same.

    FaceBook is not much better, we made a user page there, a group page and a Fan page, but then we cannot invite our friends to these group and fan pages easily...

    So, now Petizens got pages on several popular sites where we will update our friends on our progress and invite people to try a whole new experience.

    Check out our pages on: FaceBook, MySpace, YouTube, Flickr and Blogger
