His-Friends Help
His-Friends is a Christian Based Social Network, created to give everyone a safe place to keep in contact with friends and family, meet other like-minded people, and give support and encouragement to each other.
I hope you enjoy this site. If you have any problems or questions about the site that are not addressed in the Help below, or if you have suggestions for improving the site, please drop me a message on my profile page - His-Friends Admin.
Getting Started
Anyone is welcome to browse the site and check out any user pages that are not private, as well as the Prayer Request Forum.
When you are ready to create your own page, you just need to go to the site's main page, and click Register You will then be asked to provide a valid email address (needed for activating your account and loggin in). Your email will never be given out. You will also choose a password and your first and last name. Your first name will be used as your username and will be displayed over your picture.

Editing & Viewing Your Page
Once you are logged in, editing and viewing your page are very simple using the Edit and View links on the menu at the top of the page. Once you are on your personal page (by clicking View), you can bookmark your page, or send the address to a friend.
Page Appearance
On your page, you will see two columns. In the first, you have your Personal Information, Contact Box, and Widgets. In the second, you will see your Friends and Comments. All these can be set from your Edit page.
Your Edit page allows you to make all possible changes to your personal page. At the top of the page, you will see an EzAdd button, and a box to change the text color on your page. These are the most basic tools. When you click EzAdd, you will be taken to a page where you can select from sample backgrounds, widgets, and graphics for your page. You can add any item to your page by clicking the button under the item. You can then go back to your Edit page and change the font color so that all your text shows up again whatever background you chose. Now, you can click View to see the changes.
On the edit page in the Appearance Box, you can upload an image from your computer for your profile picture. This should be a small picture, and if possible a portrait (upright) not landscape (sideways). You can also enter the web address of any online picture to use for your background in the Appearance Box.
Finally, in the Personal Info Box on the Edit page, you can enter a Tag Line to appear above your picture telling about yourself, your Date of Birth (only age is hown on your page) and your location.
Finding and Adding Widget or Graphics code a little more complicated that you want to get into? No problem. I have found some good Widgets and Graphics, and will continue to add more. You only need to go to your Edit page, Click EzAdd, and select the ones you want.
Friends
Friends are probably the most important aspect of any social site, and also the easiest. You can go to any members page and click Add Friend under their picture. They will be send a request, asking them to Accept or Deny you as a friend. If they accept, they will be added to your Friends list, and you to theirs. Then, you will each be able to place comments on each other's pages. You will also be able to get to their page quickly by clicking on their picture in your Friends list.
You can edit your friends list in the Edit Comments, Friends, & Password Box on the Edit page.
