By now, if you are a registered user, you should have noticed your new login box. Some of it looks the same, but there are some awesome changes. The biggest feature is My Goofball — tailoring Goofball.com around your wants and needs. Don't rush off there now, it will look just like the regular site, until you customize your content.
The Basics
Three features that were on the old login box still remain and they are:
- My Profile — Click here to make changes to your profile. You can change your email address, add an image to your Fan Page, add a link to your website, and include a tagline for your posts.
- My Fan Page — A link to your personal Fan Page where you can read comments left for you by other Goofballers.
- XX Messages — Let's you know how many messages are on your Fan Page.
Getting Started
Customization starts here. Start by selecting the content you want to appear on your page.
Your first option is to display messages that have been left for you. They can be Fan Page messages, and even better... replies to Message Board comments and to you've made comments on the site's content items. When someone replies, it doesn't matter when your post was made, it will appear on the top of your my.goofball.com home page. If you are not one to post messages, or don't care to read what others write just select '0' from the pull-down menu.
Favorite Sections & Right Side
Choose the items that you want on your personalized homepage. Items that are under 'Favorite Sections' will appear in the middle, items that are under 'Right Side' will appear on the right side of the page. It is as easy as that.
Once you have done this select 'Update Your Preferences' and you will then move on to the 'Select Layout'.
Almost Done
Select the order of content items on your Goofball.com home page using the numbered drop-down menus next to each item. Be sure to click 'Finished' when you're done and you will be taken to my.goofball.com where your new homepage awaits you.
A Bonus
Who doesn't like hidden extras? Goofball now offers you a 'File Cabinet', a place where you can store 10 of your favorite items for easy reference. This feature is still in its infancy but we wanted to bring it to you now.
File Cabinet FAQ
What happens when I try to save that 11th item?
The first item you saved will be pushed out of the file cabinet.
Is there a way to delete #6 if I didn't want it anymore?
Currently, no. You will need to add other items until this item is removed from the list.
When will an edit feature be available?
No date has been set.
