A great way to kick off 2025 on the right foot is by building a Neopets portfolio! In this guide, we’ll break down the benefits of creating a portfolio, the elements that go into it, and how often you should update it. What Is a Portfolio, and Why Do You Need One? A portfolio, sometimes called an "About Me" or agenda, is a personalized page designed to showcase who you are, what you’re working on, and why you’re on Neopets. Portfolios can include your interests, blurbs about your pets, and your goals for the site. They’re not only a creative outlet but also a tool to: - Track progress on your goals. - Store accomplishments. - Share information with other Neopians. Many Neopians enjoy exploring portfolios to learn about others and even find ways to help out. For example, a wishlist in your portfolio might inspire someone to gift you an item or trade with you. Portfolios build connections within the community and help make Neopets more enjoyable! Getting Started: Where to Begin Portfolios are often stored on Petpages, which can be edited via your Control Panel. While you don’t need a fancy CSS layout, many creators offer premade Petpage layouts specifically designed for portfolios. These layouts often include sections and navigation links to make your portfolio more user-friendly. Once you’ve chosen the right layout, it’s time to fill it with content. Here’s how you can structure your portfolio: Crafting Your About Me Section A great place to start a portfolio is with a little information about you. You don't want to get too detailed, but other Neopians want to know who you are! Consider including: - Your interests (e.g., favourite Neopets activities or hobbies outside the site)

It’s the end of the Y26 and you look back at all your glorious accomplishments: gold game trophies were won, you took a dip in the Fountain Faerie's pool, and you saved up a nice sum in the bank without spending it all (you did do that, right?). Everyone typically has the same goals every year. Reach that Food Club goal, read so many new books to increase that intelligence stat, and obtain that elusive and expensive paintbrush. However, something seems to be missing – you don't want to go through the same old year with the same old goals and perspectives as the average Neopet, right? Are you looking for something new this year? Maybe a different perspective and some little (or big) changes will help you start the new year in a new way. We've all been to Kauvara's Potion Shop to jealously eye those morphing potions – beautiful, swirling concoctions that promise the grass is always greener on the other side. What about that stock of unique Battledome potions at Kayla's Potions in Meridell? You're so tempted to take a swig and see if you feel more powerful, more intelligent, or more swift. Every time you visit the Healing Fountain, you can't help but look over the huge stock of beautiful glass bottles that the Healing Faerie is hoarding. After a few rounds in the Battledome, nothing feels better. From basic health potions for the Battledome to entire body morphing liquids, magic potions in Neopia offer many different advantages to the average Neopian. There's no better way to change your perspective than changing your entire body! Why don't you start the new year with a completely new outlook by trying one of many potions available across Neopia?

We, as Neopians, are given the opportunity to run our own shops! Sounds fun, right? It is! It's a great way to make Neopoints, connect with buyers, and even learn the basics of economics! In this article, I'll give you some tips to run a long-term successful shop! Frequently Used Terms: ETS - Easy to sell HTS - Hard to sell QS - Quicksell PB - Paint Brush PPPB - Petpet Paint Brush MP - Morphing Potion TP - Transmogrification Potion AH - Auction House RS - Restock UB - Unbuyable SW - Shop Wizard SSW - Super Shop Wizard (Premium only) Know your items A lot of people choose a theme for their shop. A theme could be foods, books, weapons, etc. Other categories include something more specific like Faerie foods, Advent Calendar items, or collectibles. A theme can be very helpful. If you choose 1 theme, you have a smaller pool of items to learn. Furthermore, should a buyer come into your shop looking for books, you have the potential to make more sales if you have exclusively books for sale! In addition to knowing your chosen category, watch for new items being released in your category! A lot of readers, feeders, and collectors like to have the newest items as soon as they're released! That said, a theme is not necessary. While it can be beneficial, sometimes buyers enjoy seeing a variety of items...
