That’s right, as mentioned in the past, you can now customize your very own avatar in CityPixel! And the greatest part is you can do it all for free; it doesn’t cost any pixels. Yeah!
Here is a little guide on how to get started:
1) Log-in and select the ‘me’ icon from the navigation bar.
2) Next click on the customize avatar icon marked with a new label.
3) From there, select a template and then let your imagination run wild, by designing and coloring your very own virtual character.

This post is just a shout out to the New York Yankees. Lots of citizens of PixelYork are feeling down today as their beloved Yankees were once again eliminated from the playoffs. It was a long and tough season that once again ended in disappointment. Here is hoping that Joe Torre is around next year. If not, it was a great run and I think I speak for all fans when I say that he did an incredible job managing the Yankees and had the respect of everyone from the players, fans, and opposing teams. Please share your favorite Yankees moments this year. Mine was the callup for Joba Chamberlain! That guy is going to be a great PRO!
Now onto some CityPixel news. The mayor just shared a bunch of new things on the horizon, but I also wanted to mention that similar to customizing properties, you will soon have the ability to create and design your own Avatar also. More details to follow in another post! Keep up the suggestions!
Thanks,

Hey Citizens,
Mayor here. Just wanted to draw your attention to the new arcade. It’s on Northern Ave. I’m in there chillin’ as I type. Just played tennis courtesy of miniclip.com!
While you’re there, hit my profile and check out my new little red sports car! I think you’ll like it. We’re working out a few things to make designing the car a little more user friendly, but they’re tested and working great. Stay tuned as we’re going to open the flood gates any day now.
Also, as an elected official, I need to reach out to you, my constituents, and see if you like the direction of the site. Please drop a line and let us know what you’d like to see, and if we’re developing the site in a positive direction.
Thanks for your continued support!
-The Mayor
does that sound?
The mayor is hinting at some very cool features that are coming down the pipe in PixelYork soon. Can’t wait until I grab myself a car and get to pimp (errr, customize) it like my apartment. Sweet! Maybe it will be an undercover cop car, so I can keep an eye out on all of you. Just kidding. The Facebook app also sounds interesting considering I always like fancying up my profile, and what beats placing my apartment on my page. How cool is that?
Lastly, I wanted to give us some props and share with you all some recent posts from other writers in the blogosphere who are talking about CityPixel:
I hope you enjoyed the articles! Don’t hesitate to put us on your blog, who knows I might just give you back a shout out.

Greetings Citizens!
I’m pleased to announce that, like Deval Patrick, I’m driving a lovely new sports car. Naturally, it was through taxation, and special favors that I was able to acquire this little gem. It’s like a ruby on wheels! I also get a special parking space outside my apartment so it’s always available. Well… I just wanted to thank you all.
In appreciation, I’d like for all my citizens to have one (at a modest pixel fee - but still free)!
We’re working hard to get parking allocated for everyone, and it should be any day now. Keep an eye on your profiles, and shoot to be the first person on your block with a sporty new car or truck!
Also, if you’re a facebook fan, we’re testing a new feature to bring your very own customized apartment or cube into your facebook account. If you want to help the testing process just drop us a line and we’ll see what we can do.
There’s a lot more on the horizon so stay tuned to citypixel.com!

Greetings Citizens:
I’d like to reach out to everyone and let you know that five new additions have been made to the city. Coffee houses, furniture stores and night clubs. Good places to shop or hang! Check them out, and reply to this post if you can find all 5. There just might be a prize in it for you!
Speaking of the furniture stores, I hear we’re having a big sale! Well, actually, the price of furniture has been slashed by 25% just because we want everyone to reconsider the designs they are currently sporting, and try to liven it up a bit.
Keep close tabs on the coffee houses and night clubs. Very soon you’ll be able to stream music! Word on the street is that you’ll be able to listen to the same music in the privacy of your own apartment or cube too.
Special Notice: Next time you log in you may notice a green popup. This will only happen the next five times you log in. We just want to remind you of all the cool stuff you could be doing.
That’s all from City Hall for now…
-The Mayor
Citypixel stores are coming. July 31st will be here before you know it and citypixel stores will be open. You will be able to buy special furniture at any of the stores and use these pieces in your Apartment or Office cube.
Your friends will be jealous when you show them your Apartment or Office cube that has Animals, Bars, Hot Tubs, Rugs and other exciting pieces. Pixels are earned when you log into citypixel.com, you maintain your Apartment or Cube and when you connect with friends.
To find our stores, click ‘more citypixel’ and then ‘citypixel classifieds’. Here you will find a listing of all the Stores in citypixel as well as ‘Hot spots’ to gather in… I look forward to seeing the cool Apartments and Cubes that are tweaked with all the new furniture you have access to!
