If you have lately logged on to our site, you would have noticed some changes in your Profile page. We have opted for this new style to help you navigate with the options more easily and quickly. Once you're logged in, you'll observe that there's just one section ' Your Blogs.'

You might wonder where the other sections have gone. It's all there appearing as links at the Top Right corner. By clicking on each of these links, you can get to the respective sections.

Next, you will find the ‘Set Default Page’ option on top of your profile page; it helps you to set the default page you would to go immediately when you login.

Suppose you want to go directly to your ‘New Post’ page immediately after you login, without going to the ‘Profile’ page, you can set the default page option to the 'Your Blog Name : Post Page'. This will directly take you to your blog’s new post page immediately after you login without going to 'Profile' page.

That’s not all; just move your cursor to the different links: New Post, Comments, Design, Widgets, Forum and Preference. A drop down under each category shows up; for example when you move your cursor to the ‘New Post’ option you will also find more options like ‘Edit Post’, 'Edit Draft’, ‘Create Tags’.

This saves your time and reduces those unnecessary clicks. If you need to customize your design, you can directly click on 'Customize Design' under the 'Design' tab rather than go through a series of steps that entails a cumbersome task.

This new Profile navigation will help you get blogging done faster.

We invite your suggestions and feedback about the new change? Please do write us about your feedback using our contact page or directly email us at people@sweetcircles.com.

You can change or organize the sidebar elements based on your preference. To arrange or rearrange a sidebar element, go to your Design tab and select the 'Customize Design'option.

 Once you get to the 'Customize Design' page, in the left side of the preview pan of your blog and the side tool bar. On the right hand side of your blog, you will see elements of your sidebar you have added to your blog like – About Me, My Sweetcircles, Favourite links, Archives, Categories, Gossipad, Forum, RSS.

You can drag and drop this dotted box elements in any order based on your priorities. That would just require you dragging the tool and placing it at any position you want.
