Description: Helpful Tips about LockerBlogger SIte

A Group about using and finding your way around the LockerBlogger Site

Following vs. Friending

On LockerBlogger, you have the option to either "follow" or "friend" both the professional athletes and the fans!

When you "friend request" someone, they will receive a notification and they then must confirm this. On the flip side, when you choose to "follow" someone, it is automatic.

I Like This!

We recently added a like/unlike action as well as a favorite action to all content on the site.

We also added a My Favorites page to your locker that allows you to feature your favorite content and we'll soon show Sport and Locker Streams based on these two new actions.

Reverse Twitter Connect

You can now Shout onto your SportStream from your Twitter page! Here's what to do:

1) Make sure your Twitter account is hooked up to your LockerBlogger Account. Simply goto "My Account"-->"Edit"-->"Twitter accounts" to set it up.

2) From your Twitter account, end all tweets with the hashtag #lb. The tweets will post right into your SportStream.

3) This can be done from your phone as well, using any Twitter iPhone application, or the SMS shortcode 40404.

Post A Picture!

Post a picture of yourself!

People enjoy having a little face smiling at them when you friend them - not a gray outline. :)

Weekly Poll

You may not have noticed it, but the bottom of the LockerBlogger home page has a new sports poll every week.
When you log in, don't forget to scroll down, cast your vote, and check back to see the results!

Private? Public? Personalize Your Group!

When you create a group on LockerBlogger - be sure to choose whether you want it to be "private" or "public". If it's private - you and the other members of the group (who must be invited to join) will be the only ones to see it. This is great for teams and organizations!

If you choose to make the group public, the material posted is available for the entire LockerBlogger community to enjoy! This is an excellent way for fans with common sports interests, for example, to connect and discuss!

YouTube Videos vs Personal Uploaded Videos

Embedding a YouTube video in your locker is easy! All you need to do is create a blog entry. There is a field to embed a YouTube video, either by the URL or embed code.

To embed videos from other websites besides YouTube, such as Vimeo, Blip.tv, or others, you must paste the embed code from the source into the body of a blog entry.
