You need to be a registered user to create a personal Life Story. If you do not have account yet, please click here to register. Registration is totally free and secure (we will not share your personal information with any third party). If you do not have personal email account, you will need to create one (Gmail, Yahoo) to receive our registration confirmation. If you have Facebook account, you can use it to access our site. Profile will be created based on your Facebook profile.
Once you are a registered user, you can start building your Life Story. First step is to add a chapter of life / event, which typically is "Birth" event though it is completely up to you what event you choose to start building the Life Story with. Every event must have three things: type, year (of the begin date) and a country. All other fields are optional. If you are not able to find an appropriate type or city for your event, choose "[CUSTOM]" selection to add your own city or event type. Ideally your chapter of life should contain information that is not confidential and will not cause you or other individuals any harm if used inappropriately. However, if you keep your chapter of life too short or too broad, the search for people who did the same may produce less accurate results. So it is always a good idea to practice balanced approach. In any case you can always change or remove your chapter of life (including all associated photos) at any time.
Once you filled the new event screen and clicked "Add New Life Chapter" button, you will be redirected to the Preview page where your new event will be highlighted in green color and, if you already have the LIfe Story created, will be shown together with other events of your Life Story. At this point your new event is not saved yet so you have two options: confirm the changes or go back to the new event screen and modify your event further. Your event is saved as a part of your Life Story only upon confirmation (button "Confirm the changes"). Once confirmed you will be redirected to a Life Story display page.
On the Life Story display page you have an option to see who else had the same event in their lives with similar circumstances (button ). If for some reason you wish to edit your Life Story ,go to "Edit the Life Story" page where you'll have an opportunity to delete your chapter of life (event) (button ), edit it (button ) or remove selective images. When you click edit button, you will be forwarded to the edit page looks exactly like "Add New Life Chapter" page.
Once you change the chapter, you'll be sent to Preview page to confirm the changes or continue editing.
Every Life Story is created with security that allows site guests to view the Life Story. You can change the security settings to restrict access so that only registered users, your friends or you would be permitted to view your Life Story. To do that one needs to go to Profile => Privacy page. Additionally you can set the privacy for your events so that some of your event would be secured by 4 different levels.
As a part of standard functionality of the JomSocial engine LifeChapters is written on, you have an option to upload your photos, create photo albums and set the privacy settings for them. To start creating own photo album, one can go to Profile => Upload Photos. Link to other people photos is available in their profile page. Please note that these photos or albums are not connected to your Life Story in any way.
Clicking button will rearrange your Life Story in the opposite order. Default event order is descending.
If you see any obscene or inappropriate Life Stories , do not hesitate to report them by clicking on button.
