What is My Eons?

My Eons is your dashboard on Eons where you can manage your profile, view Private Messages, keep track of your Eons groups and friends and blogs, manage your LifePath and view your Longevity Calculator results.

What is a widget, and why do I want one?

A “widget” is a snippet of portable code that can be incorporated into a web page. These chunks of code cause a little item which is entertaining and/or useful to us to appear on the web page it is incorporated into. Some examples of widgets are weather widgets, mini-game widgets, news widgets, calculator widgets, even widgets that convert currency or units of measurement! On Eons, you can include a widget on your profile or My Eons page. To include a widget on your profile or your My Eons page, click the Add a widget link located in yellow box.

How do I find and add a widget?

To find a widget, go to the Widget Gallery view link.

To add a widget from the Widget Gallery view link:

1. Log in to Eons.
2. Click on the text under the widget you want to add.
3. Add any custom information (e.g., for a local weather widget, you may be asked to enter your zip code).

What are Friends on Eons?

A Friend is someone who has accepted an invitation from you to be associated as Friends. The greatest impact of this relationship is that you can make certain things on your profile visible only to your Friends. In effect, it adds another layer in your privacy options. This is a two-way acknowledgment between you and another member that you like each other and want to be able to contact each other and stay connected easily.

What is my activity feed?

When you join Eons and participate in the Eons community (joining a group, posting a photo, blogging, etc.), this "Recent Activity" can be displayed on your Eons profile. By doing this, other members can see what you've been up to! Choose who can view your recent activity on your Eons profile via your privacy settings.
