Purple is big everywhere this season, but here at Yahoo! it’s always been a huge part of our culture. As lovers of Purple, we are excited to be embracing a movement this fall called Start Wearing Purple. Why do we love Purple? We love it because it’s the color of creativity and ingenuity. It represents the spirit of individuality, but also a sense of connectedness with others who are similar.
My Yahoo! is offering you new opportunities to make your My Yahoo! page purple. Get your Purple on by going to the Change Appearance menu and then clicking on “Passions” to pick out one of the new spirited purple backgrounds we have to offer. You can also add our Flickr: Bike Adventures module to stay on top of what our purple Flickr bikes are seeing on their daily rides. These solar-powered, GPS-enabled bikes take a photo every 60 seconds to chronicle life in real time. They’re very cool and very Purple.
We’re encouraging you to think Purple and live life with an exclamation point. This means doing things exactly the way you want to, following your passions, and making your dreams a reality. So come along for the ride, Start Wearing Purple with My Yahoo!.

Hello,
this is a good initiative and as a Yahoo Fan I would really want to use a purple theme. However I find that the theme is not really usable on a long run. i use the yellow one because it does not have high contrast. Do you think you guys can make one that is mainly white with touches of purpples on the title bars for example?
And where on earth can I order this gorgeous Y! Bike !!!!!
Love the color and the layout patterns fell free to and more like this
I agree purole seems to be very in season and it does represent individualality. Those who love purple seem to be very out going and have their own special personality and creativeness with purple. But I have to sick with my own very special color Orange.

Received a “We’ve encountered a problem…” for several days from several computers trying to access myyahoo page.
Came to the MyYahoo blog to see if there was an outage.
Hope the new purple background is not causing the issue..

It is absolutely beautiful! My hamster’s wheel is purple. He runs, and runs, and runs, and this color will make me think of him and smile.

i really like purple colour..its good!
With all the mind-mood altering colors, “PURPLE ROCKS!!!” Remember the, Purple People Eaters, Oh Yea!!!!!! Peed Elprup (Deep Purple, Backwards)
It’s wonderful! Purple is also a colour of royalty. Maybe you could make a purple theme also. It would be great!
I like the options for background choices, but have been missing my avatar on myyahoo page. It used to show up in the upper right hand corner, but after the yahoo mail update recently, it was gone on myyahoo as well. It seems a shame that yahoo offers a cool product like yahoo avatar, but doesn’t allow it to show up on all yahoo sites. I’ve used myyahoo for many years along with yahoo mail and recently started yahoo 360, all cool products that until lately all shared my avatar. I miss it!
Yahoo!!It is the best..
PUrple is My favorite color…TANX
Ummm…… I can’t seem to have the purple color you mentioned. In fact, I only have colors and textures. Is this a BIG problem? ‘COs I was really looking forward to Purple……
