Jul 04, 2008 Best Answer: Click on your active pet where it says you can customize it (it's on the left when you log in). This takes you to a larger picture and the stats of your pet. Above it there are mini icons of all your pets you have (or just your one pet) with arrows pointing down next to them. To get to the Edit Neopet Homepage area, go to your Edit Neopet Homepage Page, and then click the edit button below the pet you want to change. You can click on the preview of the pet page to see a full sized version of it. Below each preview of the pet page it will tell you what fonts are used on graphics of the pet page. When you are on neopets.com a picture of your current active neopet will be on the left side of the page. Click that picture and the page will change to the 'Quick Reference' page, where you will see the thumbnail pictures of the pets on your account with an arrow next to each.
PET CENTRAL - Building a petpage is not as hard as it looks. Seriously. But why build a petpage? The benefits can be tremendous.
What is a petpage?
A petpage is basically a Web site hosted by Neopets. Each Neopet receives ONE petpage that their owner can edit, add or remove content. Neopets provides their own template for every petpage, however, if you want to make your own, you can. Click here to edit yours.

How do I make one?
Basically, you can make a petpage using a page builder, or HTML codes. HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language (few people actual know what HTML stands for). HTML is a series of tags, or codes that people use to build a web site. So, if I wanted to make a word bold, I would have to put tags like this around the phrase <b>Neopets rock!</b> would look like this: Neopets Rock! See the Neopets Guide to HTML to learn more about HTML codes.

Why build a petpage?
There are millions of reasons of why you should build a petpage! You can learn HTML, you could tell Neopians about yourself and life with your Neopets, you could win a trophy.... The list is endless.

Neopets
Getting started : Steps
Decide on a Neopet
Well, as far as I think, it is easier to build one petpage at a time. So, if you have more than one Neopet, decide which one you would like to start on.

Theme
Pick a theme for your Neopet's petpage. It could be an autobiography of your Neopets (i.e. How they came to be, likes and dislikes, etc.) or it could be something different and original. Original themes are unique and interesting; some of my favourites are HTML guides, the plushie factory, a different world, etc. Feel free to make your petpages about a fictional place in Neopia.

Content
Decide what you want to include (the actual text of the petpage). Examples are: a story, likes-dislikes, family, thoughts, lab ray stats, etc. Try to limit how much you put in a petpage. Anybody with slow connections really don't like waiting ten minutes for a single petpage to load if you have so much. And people really don't like spending ages scrolling down a really long petpage. Decide on much you want. Don't have too much, or too little.

Pictures : Image Hosting
Pictures are a great way of distinguishing your Web site You can use images from the Neopets Web site as well as pictures from the Neopets fun images. Or you can manipulate pictures on your computer, or draw them by hand & scan, then upload them to a host that will host images for free. Some people have slow Internet connections (like me), so making a thumbnail of your picture can be just as good as putting the full-size image. Oh yeah, by the way, images are completely optional :)

Layout
The layout, I think, is one of the most important things about a petpage. It determines where the content, pictures, etc. should be put, and how they are organised. For example, you do not want to have the 'goodbye' message at the beginning and the 'welcome' message at the end. I would suggest a simple layout (nothing too complicated, don't make something that has too much information, which may seem a bit unattractive to someone viewing the petpage).

Precautions
Unfortunately, there are some Neopians who steal graphics and claim them as their own :( Protecting your site can help prevent some people from doing that. Disabling right-click can be useful. Or simply by putting your username on all the pictures that you made can ward of graphic-thieves.

Extras : Things to Include on your site
Decorate your site!
Want to change the colour of your scrollbar, links and shape of your cursor? You can do all that and more with CSS codes (similar to HTML, but a bit more complex). You can find a useful guide of CSS codes at http://www.neopets.com/~csshelp.

Links
Create links to things like your userlookup, pet lookup, other petpages you may have, your shop, your guild, trades and more if you like. (Hint: If you want a direct link to your userlookup, just type #OWNERLOOKUP without any HTML codes and it'll display your username as a link to your profile, there are more useful 'shortcuts', edit your pet's petpage to see them).

The benefits
Learning HTML
I've learned so much HTML ever since I started Neopets; whether it was to spice up my userlookup or edit my petpage. Neopets makes HTML learning fun! This is an opportunity for you to be creative and artistic. Some people design petpages simply because it's fun and they want to. Not for the hits, or the site spotlight.

More Hits
If people visit your petpage, it's likely that they'll want to see your userlookup to see who made it, check their shop, their guild, and more!

You could enter Site Spotlight and if you win (you'll find out in approx. 1.5 - 2 months whether you've made it) you receive a nice shiny trophy for your trophy cabinet. Also, it is featured on the 'new features' page and the 'site spotlight' page. There have been known to be more than 2000 page hits for some site spotlight winners.
