Your Member Homepage is the central spot where you introduce yourself to fellow travelers at VT. In addition to your Passport that has basic stats like your home, your name, your gender and birthday, you can also create your own Homepage message and add Personal Albums about your interest, hobbies, family or anything else you want to share.

The URL of your Member Homepage is: http://members.virtualtourist.com/YOURMEMBERNAME

Just click the 'Your Homepage' link at the top of the VT page when you are logged in. You must be a VT Member to get a homepage. Membership is fast, easy and 100% Free.

Simply Click the 'add a picture ' link in your passport. From there you'll be able to add a member picture so that others can get to know you. Your picture personalizes forum postings, email, and other features. People are much more inclined to rate tips, correspond with, and make friends when they can see who they're talking to.

You are not required to add a member pic, but adding one makes it much more likely that people will contact you, rate your tips and make friends with you. It helps to personalize your pages and introduce yourself.

To change things like your Birthday, Real Name, Hometown and Picture, just click the link 'Settings' at the top of the page when you are logged in and enter your changes. Don't forget to save your changes.

Since your member pic gets shown in smaller scale when you post in the forum or send email, a Member pictures that clearly shows your face is the best.

You're not required to add your birthday, but sharing your birthday makes it easier for people to recommend things that might be more of interest to you. For example, if you're 18, you're probably not interested in family friendly restaurants for your kids and if you're 65 you're probably not interested in getting inside tips on rave parties. If you're absolutely uncomfortable sharing your age, then just share your birthday. You'll meet lots of new friends who just stopped in to wish you a happy birthday when the day arrives. Yep, VT'ers are a friendly bunch.
