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!
