Only VLAN 1 can be pinged or Telneted on a switch?

Why can't I ping VLAN 2 and VLAN 3 even though I've set them up with IP addresses? Here's my config.
Is it because VLAN 1 is special somehow?

Vlan 1 on a switch is typically the management Vlan. If you configure it with an IP address it allows remote access and typically will respond to ICMP requests. In order to route across VLANs you need to incorporate a router into your network, look up 'router on a stick' to get further detail. Because a typical switch is layer 2 only, it can only forward packets in it's LAN, if you are using a VLAN then it will only forward the packets on that VLAN. Hope this helps

Thanks.
Finally got it to work. I forgot to assign the other interfaces to their respective VLANs and provide a Default Gateway.

That's actually 3560 I'm using. I was practicing Inter-Vlan routing on a Layer 3 switch. I managed Inter-VLAN routing by add these commands

interface FastEthernet0/2
switchport access vlan 2
!
interface FastEthernet0/3
switchport access vlan 3

Man I drove all the way to mcdonalds to get wifi on my laptop just so I could tell you that. Glad you figured it out though. That's probably what ICND2 will be like.
