Confuzzled? Profile FAQ

 

Frequently Asked Questions…
What you really want to know!

 

How do I access my profile?
Just click on “My Profile” in the top right-hand corner of Girlslife.com!

How do I create my profile?
Simply fill in your answers next to each question! When you’re finished, click on “Save" and voila! You’re finished!

Do I have to answer every question or give you my info?

Nopers! Answer only the questions that you want, and provide only the info that you want to share. It’s up to you, girl. Now the only question is: To dish, or not to dish?
 
How do I get started with a Healthy You Profile?

Login with your Username and Password on Girlslife.com. Once you’re in, click on the “My Profile” button in the top right hand corner of your screen. This takes ya straight to your GL Profile. Under Profile Visibility, check the li’l box that says "I Want a Healthy You Profile." Can’t find it? It’s at the very top of your profile page. Got that squared away? Scroll down till you see the title Healthy You Profile. Then get to fillin’ it out!
 
Already logged in? Just click HERE!

How do I get to my Healthy You journal?

Scroll down to the very bottom of the page and you’ll see an apple icon. Click on it and voila! You can keep track of all your healthy progress here.
 
OK! So, I found my Healthy You journal...How do I update it and show the other GL girlies what I’ve been up to?

Once you click on the apple icon, you’ll arrive to a page with a snazzy calendar. Under the calendar is a section where you can type in what kinda healthy stuff you did that day--how long you did it for and how ya felt. Hit save and come back tomorrow to jot down more!
 
A cool part about the calendar? You can click back and forth between days to see how far you’ve come. 


Can I keep my profile private?
Of course! What you want to share is totally up to you. Just click on the “Keep My Profile Private” box under Private Info and all your deets will be top secret.

 

If I change my mind, how do I make it my profile visible again?

Easy peasy. Just click again on the "Keep My Profile Private" box, so that it is unchecked, and voila! Your profile becomes visible!
 
I got an email saying that my profile's been moderated, but it's still not publicly visible. What gives?

For your safety, profiles automatically default to private. To make it visible for all your blog buddies, click on “My Profile” to edit your profile page. Is the little box with "Keep My Profile Private" under Profile Visibility checked? Whoops! Simply uncheck the box and hit save. Now you can share your profile with all your friends!
 
I’ve already made my profile publicly visible, but it still doesn’t show! Argh…

Are you under 13, girly? To ensure that our blogs are as safe and fun as possible, we need parental approval for all girls under 13. As soon as we’ve received your profile, an e-mail was sent to your parents for their approval. Once your ‘rents give us the A-Okay, you can totally share your profile with everyone.
 
Not sure if you’re ‘rents have given us permission? Click HERE to see the stats on your approval!  


Can I let only certain GL Girls view my profile?
We’re on it! Stay tuned.

Is my private information displayed?
No way! We keep your private info 100% safe and secure. When filling out your profile, please notice the, underneath the My Profile header. If you click on that, you’ll see what information is displayed to the public.

How do I choose my icon?
Choose an image from any free imaging website that you think represents...well, you! Your absolute fave celeb, your adorable pup or just a simple icon to represent your love for soccer, shoes or science is awesome.

Can I upload a picture of myself to be my icon?
No. For safety reasons, we can’t allow personal pics to be used as icons. Instead, get creative and find a pic that is SO totally you anyway!

I’ve found my icon. Now what?
Save the image to your desktop or a folder that you can easily access. Next, click on “ Browse” under Edit Profile. Locate your image where you previously saved it and then click on your image to open it up! Be sure that the image is a square 100 x 100 pixels wide, or it might get smushed.

I uploaded my icon, but I got a GL logo instead. What gives?
If you see the GL logo, your icon was not approved. Try again, and this time, double-check to make sure it’s not a personal pic and it’s appropriate to share with all your fellow GL babes.

Why won’t my profile show up immediately?
Hey girl, to keep all our lovely ladies bloggin’ in a safe environment, we’ve got moderators who read through each profile to check and double-check for personal info, inappropriate language and to keep our blogs friendly. Check back in a little while and your updates will be there soon. Pinky swear!

Can I submit questions to be considered for the profile section?
Absolutely! Do you think you’ve got questions that GL girls will want to answer? Shoot ‘em over by clicking "Contact Us," then "General Inquiry" or just CLICK HERE. Keep your eyes peeled!

How can I see other people’s profiles?
Have a friend on the blog that you want to get to know? Just click on their name or their icon right by their comments (it’s hyperlinked). Poof! You’ve got your besties' faves right at your fingertips!

Do I need to create a profile to stay on Girlslife.com?
Not at all. Making a profile is totally up to you, girl. No pressure!

MOD! MOD! Okay, I have a question. What does "Mod" mean? I know it's random but I just wanna know because I box keeps popping up with something like, "...is modding" or stuff like that. What does it mean and can I mod too?

 

Hey babe, A mod is a moderator. We read through all your comments and profiles to make sure they're appropriate for the site before we let them get posted. We also answer any questions you ask. Most mods start out as interns. To learn more about interning for GL, check out the Contact Us page.

Okay so afew days ago I changed my profile. it says it's still being moderated, I'm not sure if it's normal to take this long.. or mines slipped through the cracks. Please Help so I can share with my GL Budz <3
thanx, Bon




Every single time you edit your profile it has to be moderated. So i suggest you dont touch it unless you really have to. The moderating process takes some time. xoxo kerra

I tried changing my username but it wont let me. What gives?

 

Hey girl,

If you notice on your "Edit My Profile" page, it says "Read Only" next to the user name box.  That means that you can't actually edit what's in that box - once you make your username, you can't change it.  If you want a different name, you're going to have to actually create a new account Frown  sorry chickie!

MOD MOD MOD ill try to keep this as short as i can. i really like this guy (enough to write 2 songs about him) but i'm only in 7th grade and i think that ppl should wait till they are in at least their sophmore year of high school *no offense to anyone this is just wat i think* all in all i have 2 q's:
1. is this normal?
2. WHAT SHOULD I DO???
thank u sooooooooooooooo much!!!




Hey girl, first Q: yep, it's totally natural to like a guy. And 2? Talk to him! Get to know him! Love doesn't have an age limit and there's nothing wrong with being friends for now and more if circumstance allows.

Is there any way to keep track of where you post a question? Because whenever I post a question it usually doesn't get answered until the next day and sometimes I don't remember what page I posted it on.




Hey babe, sorry, there's not. Next time, try writing down the name of the article so you can go back and find it easily!

His cousin (girl cousin) says that he really likes me. What gives??? Please answer, I really like him and I'm desperate for an answer!

 

Hi babes, honestly, if he liked you then he would have said yes. I would give it a few weeks and then see what kind of feeling you get from him. Guys are pretty simple. There really isnt a gray area with them. xo JANA

Okay this boy is like my best friend, but i really like himi told him i like him and he said "can we just be friends?" Well even though he said that he's been flirting with me a lot and he gives me hugs. But im afraid i may have messed up our friendship. Am i over reacting?




Hey girl, you don't have to let what you said make things awkward. You'll find your relationship is defined now by the action you take: if you just go on acting the same way you did before you told this guy you liked him, I can assure you not much will change: you just know you're in the friend zone now, that's all.

A new girl moved into the neighborhood a month after school started and now we are really close. like we can finish each others sentences and know what the other is saying without talking. Lately though i've been doubting out friendship. see im really close with this group of guys from my old school and they have been being really mean. she is a bit of a boy obsessed person. if she likes someone she sees no reason not to go after them full force. i really like these guys one of them is my crush and i see their point but i sick of sticking up for her. she also isnt the smartest person and she told them her lowest MAP score and now they use that too. what should i do. i love my guy friends but i've never clicked with anyone else they way i instanttly clicked with her. HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the help with all my heart..

Sad and confused

 

HI babes, all of the reasons you listed dont really seem like important reasons to not be friends with someone. Just tell your guy friends not to talk about her when you are around them. xo JANA
