Q:Why has no one viewed my profile?
Answer
There can be several reasons:
- Your profile is hidden or not approved yet
- You recently joined, so no one has had the chance to view your profile yet
- You don't have a photo and so you aren't appearing on very many search results. Most members search by photo-only.
- You have just turned this feature on after having it off for a while. While it was off, views to your profile were not being recorded.
- Your views were automatically deleted by our system after 70 days, and you haven't been checking them.

Q:It says I have many views to my profile but there is no one on my Who's Viewed Me List, how can this be?
Answer
Your
Who's Viewed Me List only shows members that have viewed your full profile within the last 60 days, when they are logged in. Each person is ONLY displayed once, even if they view your profile multiple times.
Your
View Count is a running total, and will always be higher than the number of people on your
Who's Viewed Me List for the following reasons:
1) If one member views your profile 20 times, the
View Count will be incremented 20 times, but the member will only show once on your
Who's Viewed Me List.
2) The
View Count includes the following which will not show on your
Who's Viewed Me List:
Logged out Views
Views by people who have turned off Who's Viewed Me
Views by deleted profiles
Views by members that are over 60 days old (and have since been deleted from your List).

Q:What is the difference between an article and a blog?
Answer
Article: An article is a nonfictional composition on a specific topic (stated in the title) about something you have experience or expertise in, or that you have researched.
It's presented in an unbiased manner and strives to prove or accomplish its theme. If an opinion is given, it should be based on knowledge. An article has a lesson or point to make and a conclusion. It's goal is to inform and/or entertain. An article is more formal than a blog, and is normally a minimum of 250 words in length. Feedback comments are accepted.
Blog: A blog entry can be whatever you want it to be... it's a personal journal of rants and raves, your opinions or ideas on any topic, or it could be just a note about your day. A blog post is an opinion, therefore biased, can be of any length, and research is not required. it's less formal than an article. Comments are accepted.
Forum Post: If you want to have a group discussion with many members on any topic of general interest, post it in the CS Forum.

Q:What is a blog on Connecting Singles?
Answer
A Blog is a journal you may enter about your life, your thoughts, interesting experiences, or lessons you have learned. It's your own page on Connecting Singles that you can update on a regular basis, or just whenever you have something to say. You can write about an opinion, impart words of wisdom, or talk about something interesting in your day. Creating a blog is a good way to share something of yourself with Connecting Singles members. Reading blogs is a good way to learn more about members you have met here.
A blog IS NOT a personal-ad describing yourself or the person you are seeking. You have a profile on the site for that.
A blog is NOT for one-to-one chatting. You have onsite email for that. Click the "Email" button on a member's profile.
A blog IS NOT a Forum for discussion, debate, advice or asking questions of other members. Join the
Connecting Singles Forums for these purposes.
Use your blog to record your thoughts, opinions and ideas. All blogs are open to viewing by the public and to comments from other members (unless you disabled comments). You may read and then delete those comments to your blog if you wish. You may edit your own blog, however, you may not edit your comment to another member's blog.
