March Update
Many users have a personal website which they publish in their MyGreatWorld-profile. We have therefore thought of a small way to say THANK YOU to our members and friends who are contributing their pictures to MyGreatWorld: After sharing 25+ photos you will now get a 'real' link to an external homepage. This *do-follow-link* will help your website to get found by Google, Yahoo etc.
Furthermore, we hope you will find another new feature useful: Within your PROFILE & SETTINGS you can now choose *to receive a notification-email* whenever someone drops you a personal message or comments on any picture you shared. Of course, you will have to enter a valid email-address (which will neither be shown nor will it be misused by MyGreatWorld, of course).
We feel, that MyGreatWorld is evolving more and more!
Any feedback -- as always -- is welcome :o)

February - Update
The design of MyGreatWorld.com was slightly changed: To notice you might have to hold SHIFT and click simultaneously on the RELOAD-button.
We have added a new THEME for those of us who prefer it simple, bright and pure. If you want to try it out just change your Theme in your PROFILE & SETTINGS to 'Plain' and hit the SAVE-button.
We also fixed some minor bugs in the upload-procedure. If you experience any flaws please drop us a note!

Evolutions uncovered: The new MyGreatWorld.com
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMzfJynr23b9mDIuZrdctgTCk_jiJJCwBdCQbnADGbPNtgrWtGmMP3GhT5U4ZdqmlkV2dLKfNF4hj4hCJjxzh4qPGi72cK1922tCdjGVG2Cu0BuuQEZvgrbr0GS0BZyrOQo28vki-Bp0Y/s320/logo_white.gif)
Relaunch of the free and popular photo community - On August 25, 2008, after almost a year of systematic and thorough testing, MyGreatWorld.com has hatched from a working BETA into the wild of the internet. And without exaggeration one can say that both, design and range of features have significantly improved.
At first glance users will note that the saluting map of the world is now designed in the vivid whites & greens which match the whole vibe of the site. Who does not like this colour-scheme can try out alternatives within the 'Personal Profile' where by and by different designs will be presented to the members, although it is almost certain, that the new 'Nighttheme' will rise to instant glory.
For all pictures uploaded after August 25, EXIF-data is now available (whenever included in an image), allowing the interested photo-enthusiasts a more technical insight. Comments and Personal Messages have been separated and clearly arranged for a faster access.
Under the hull of the interface, an efficiently tweaked database-engine was fired up and carries out the requests within the mainframe of a new and completely overhauled structure. By this, the overall speed of the site -- which has already been amazing due to the lack of popups, gadgets, etc -- was distinctly boosted.
MyGreatWorld.com now allows do-follow links to external sites on all pages as long as there is a gain in information on the respective topic (which might be a continent, region, city, point-of-interest, landscape or even a single picture). By this, the idea behind MyGreatWorld.com, to combine visual impressions with categories and a database of time and place has opened another quality-source for reliable information.
And YES: MyGreatWorld.com still is and always will be a FREE service.
