Since social media is such a large part of society today, we wanted to give you a fresh new "Share This" add-on so you can get your site noticed on multiple social sites!

So what has been updated?

Instead of just one static button like our previous add-on, you can now pick the icons for the sites you want your visitors to share your site on. Pick them all or just a few and select large or small icons to customize your add-on. 

Don't see your favorite social site? Comment below to tell us what site you would like to see added to the Share This add-on. LinkedIn, MySpace, Tumblr, etc.? Let us know and the highest number of responses could make its way into the add-on.

Give your site an extra special touch by uploading a favicon! I created my favicon in seconds on favicon.cc. All I had to do was upload the image that I wanted and it converted it into the file that I need for a favicon. 

After creating my favicon, I went to my site tab and clicked "Upload Favicon." I then found the file that I just created on favicon.cc and chose it to upload. Then, all I had to do was publish my site to see the final result. 

Favicons appear in the address bar and browser tabs, making your website unique. 

Try making your own favicon today!

Whit Greene has created fun and imaginative projects that he is sharing on his website, whitgreene.tripod.com. You can see how he has modified the loveable favorite, Teddy Ruxpin, see other "Worlds of Wonder" projects, and even contact him if you need help restoring one of your own projects.

Keep an eye on Whit's site as we near the holiday season because Christmas projects will be showing up soon! Whit's website is nicely designed and all of his projects are presented in a visually appealing way. The amount of information on each page is perfect because it doesn't overwhelm the visitor, but it makes you want to continue exploring the rest of the website. 

Check out Whit's site today to see his projects at whitgreene.tripod.com!

Today's Featured Friday website will make you wish you live in the UK (if you don't already). Twin Peaks Outdoor Activities is located near the Derbyshire Peak District and (like the name suggests) is an outdoor activity provider! Go through Twin Peaks Outdoor Activities to do team building activities, outdoor education, or just go on fun adventures with your families, friends, or groups.

Visit TwinPeaksOutdoorActivities.com to see a beautifully laid out site with great images of outdoor adventures that the group has taken. Perfect for schools, youth groups, families, hen & stag groups, and adults alike. Have fun going climbing, caving, trekking, or doing watersports (and those are just the activities that are listed on the front page!).

If you want your site to be featured next Friday, submit it at spotlight-site.tripod.com!

Center for Cretaceous Studies is a premier destination for learning and discovering the many amazing aspects of living dinosaurs.  You heard that right, valuable research is currently being conducted on our living and breathing Cretaceous friends and this site brings all that valuable knowledge to your finger tips.

The C4CS site really helps you gain a better understanding of all the hard work and effort that goes into Dinosaur Behavioral Studies. The site is full of helpful tips if you were to ever encounter a dinosaur so be sure to take notes.  Take a trip to their facility so you can check out the indoor dinosaur paddocks or make a romantic dinner reservation at the Kretaceous Kitchen.  Though I recommend you get your affairs in order if it becomes a one-way vacation!

Also C4CS has some great historical photos that detail the organization's early days under the amazing leadership of Dr. S. Beckmann.  Plus in the photo section check out Sam and Sue, the largest Tyrannosaurus Rex - they are quite impressive!  After you visit their Gift Shoppe, I recommend you sign up to join in on a Dino-Dig - it sounds like an exeperience of a lifetime!

Check out Center for Cretaceous Studies today!

Today all sites have officially made the migration from Webon to Zeeblio. Over the last few weeks, we have let you test Zeeblio out and listened to your feedback while making changes based on your requests. Finally, we were able to transfer everyone's sites over to Zeeblio.

What does this mean for my Webon site?

All of your hard work has been ported over to Zeeblio. Your text, images, videos, add-ons - anything that was in Webon is now in Zeeblio. 

What if I come across a problem?

If you find that something is gravely wrong with your site (not just my Weather Zombie add-on went away and now I have to re-add it!), don't publish your page and contact customer support. Publishing your page will overwrite your currently fine Webon site and will publish anything that may be incorrect. 

I didn't try out Zeeblio because I thought I was able to keep my Webon site. Can I go back?

We have created Zeeblio to make your experience better. We have listened to customer feedback more than ever which is why we gave you the chance to try it out first before migrating everyone over. For members who previously had Webon sites, Zeeblio will come to you as second nature. Zeeblio is built with Webon users in mind but has some major alterations to make features work better and look sharper. We cannot move websites from Zeeblio back to Webon but would love to hear any feedback in order to make your experience better on Zeeblio by clicking the "Feedback" button in your builder. 

What features are different from Webon?

To learn more about Zeeblio, check out our past blog posts and read up about it on zeeblio.com. 

Is Zeeblio free? 

The Zeeblio builder is completely free. Your current plan structure will not change at all with this migration. 

Want to learn more? 

Go to zeebliohelp.tripod.com to get in-depth descriptions about all of the features of the builder. You can even submit requests for new articles to be added to the knowledge base on the home page. 

If you have any troubles at all during the migration, contact customer support .
