IMVUStylez.net is celebrating it's second birthday! For two years they have been offering you fantastic codes, tweaks and information regarding your IMVU Home page. IMVUStylez is home of the original and TOS friendly product page generator (now defunct thanks to IMVU), the operator of the well-known Bling Directory and the all too amazing Jspunkette.

Of course, there is nothing like a new look to celebrate another completed year of excellence. Yours truly got the chance to participate in the look and fabrication of the new and improved design - including being the artist behind the banner [sorry, had to brag a little there]. Of course one need thank the lovely Mercuria for her drawing of the new IMVUStylez mascot (hmm, who doesn't have a name!). Jspunkette is a true visionary and coding expert. The new site looks great and best of all - it still offers you all of those important odds & ends of coding that you need.

On a more personal note, I've had the honor and pleasure of chatting with Jspunkette a lot in the last few weeks. Not only is she the mastermind coder behind IMVUStylez, but she's the brains behind the operation of my homepage and new product pages [not to mention one of the people behind the script for Digital Dish advertising]. Jspunkette is a total sweetheart and a pleasure to work with.

Happy birthday IMVUStylez and congratulations Jspunkette! May you have more more birthdays to celebrate!

As most of the Content Creating community knows, on June 8th, an issue rose about the use of dynamic content on product pages - things like coding from YouTube.com, Slide.com and other various 3rd party websites. In order to address the problem, IMVU decided upon taking the ability to use such coding from non-Pro developers on June 11th.

The use of dynamic content is officially back for both Pro and non-Pro alike as per the post by Senior Community Manager, Jamidiaz in the official IMVU blog post Product Detail Page Update. It's great news, but for the Pro developers who have continued to use their fancy codes the last couple of weeks, a new challenges has risen.

As seen in the next image, courtesy of the Official IMVU Blog, you can see that all coding is now restricted to IMVU's original description box. Personally, I'm shocked that it took this long for IMVU to take the ability to decorate our product pages away from us.


My standpoint is that I have been creating on IMVU long before users like DeMo, Ange, Lollirot and myself started the product decorating trend. I made my mark on IMVU without the use of fancy coding and I believe that it is possible to make a name for yourself here without the e-glitter. However, some developers are still upset over the loss of their hard work, special product page graphics and marketing aspects - enough so that many are calling it quits.

My word of advice - Don't just quit. I started developing because I enjoyed doing it. That should be your main concern. If nothing else, view this change as a leveling of the playing field. Sell your talent and your products - not your fancy product pages.
