We’ve added more updates in the past few weeks, here’s a heads up on what they are.
1. Blog HTML Editor - You can edit your blogs to bold and italicize words, create text hyperlinks, and insert additional images.
2. Automatic Google Ping – Now when you submit your blog, we automatically ping google to let the crawler know you’ve made a post.
3. Tag FitConnect Content – Our newest feature allows you to tag relative content to your blogs, fitclips, and groups. For example, if you create a several low carb recipes and then write a blog about low carb diets, you can tag the recipes to your blog. Now readers will see more of your content.
4. Online / Offline Notification – At the top right corner of everyone’s profile is an icon letting you know whether the user is online or not. If it is blue, the user is online – if it is grey, the user is offline.
5. Browse Online Members - Find out who's onl... read more

Since we are now allowing non-members to view member profiles, we have incorporated new privacy settings which you can edit under, 'My Account' on your left nav bar. Now you will be able to select from several privacy settings, or even customize your own viewable content. Things such as height, weight, age, name, phone, email, and more can be made viewable to only you, only your fitsters, only FitConnect members, and you can even regulate which content is viewable to same / opposite sex.
To change your settings, go to 'My Account' and then select the privacy tab. There, you can select from our 3 standard settings:
Public: Entire profile viewable to all internet users, including non-FitConnect members
Semi-Private: Only FitConnect members can see your profile
Private: No one can see your profile except for you
And we also have a 'Custom' setting, where you can modify who sees particular content on your profile.

We have setup a hidden point system that gives users points each time they do something on the site. Points vary based on the activity and how well your posted content is reviewed by others.
Posting quality tips, recipes, blogs, etc., can drastically improve your ranking as users save, review, and sync to your posted content. A blog entry that becomes popular, or a tip or recipe that receives positive reviews will accumulate more points than posting many, less popular items.
Keep in mind that you don't have to be a fitness expert to improve your ranking. Points are also awarded for things such as acquiring friends, rating tips and recipes, posting comments, sending/receiving brags, creating groups, and basically anything else that you do on FitConnect. Example: Members are awarded 15 points when they join their local fitness center's FitCommunity.

Welcome to FitConnect, an online social medium with a core focus on health & fitness. We started this site in order to provide a one-stop answer to all of your fitness needs, including the ability to share your own knowledge and advice. People with varying interest levels in fitness can benefit from using our site. While a personal trainer may want to build credibility and exposure by posting various tips, recipes, blog entries, and more, beginners may choose to browse this information and submit their feedback. Some will simply use our site to connect with their local fitness center, or perhaps join a different community that seems more appealing. In order to make the best of your FitConnect experience, we recommend you add your friends to your network.
Currently, we are in beta mode, which means that our site is a work in progress. In the near future we will be adding many features in order to enhance your FitConnect experience. If you'd like to learn more about FitConne... read more

When browsing FitConnect, you will have the choice of using Global Mode or Sync Mode. By default, you are in Global Mode, but you can switch back and forth on any of the section home pages. You can also change your default mode in your account settings.
Global Mode: This mode will show you content (i.e. tips, recipes, blogs) from ALL FitConnect members
Sync Mode: This mode will only show you content (ie: tips, recipes, blogs, etc) from users you have "Synced" to.
A "Sync" is similar to a subscription, allowing you to receive updates on another user's Blogs, Pictures, Recipes, Tips, and Groups. When you add some as a "Fitster" (friend), you are, by default, automatically synced to that user. This is also something you can change in your account settings. The best thing about Syncs is that it's anonymous, so you can sync to someone's content and they won't even know.
To sum it all up, Sync mode allows you to filter out all the conten... read more
