Can I use Lijit if I don’t have a blog?
If you don’t have a blog, you can still set up an account and be searched from your Profile page within Lijit. But we won't lie to you, installing the Lijit Search Wijit on your blog is really where it's at. So if you don't have a blog, go create one, install your Wijit on it, and see how good being searched can be!

If I use a service that isn't specifically listed on the Content page, can I still include it in my search engine?
You bet you can! At the bottom of the Content page there is a link to "Add URL / RSS / OPML feed". Click that link, enter your URL in the field provided, then click the Check button that appears at the end of the field. After the service is "found", click the Update button at the bottom of the page. Voila – that's it!

Where the heck do I find my LinkedIn public profile URL and MySpace friend ID?
To find your LinkedIn public profile URL, click on the "My Profile" tab in LinkedIn. In the gray bar directly beneath the tabs, click on the "Public Profile" link. Your public profile URL will be displayed at the top of that page. You can find your MySpace friend ID in one of two ways. (1) After logging into MySpace, click the link to visit your profile. At the end of the URL that displays in your browser's address bar, you'll see "friendid=(number)". That number is your friend ID. (2) Alternatively, you can also use the name from your MySpace URL: http://www.myspace.com/(name).

My Flickr ID shows something other than the username I entered. What's up?
The weird combination of numbers and letters you see is your "real" Flickr username (the one they use for you in the background). When Lijit fetches the info we need from Flickr after you enter your username, we change the display to instead show your real Flickr username. Sorry for the change-up.

Lijit can't find my blogroll (...or only discovered part of it...or discovered a bunch of random links on my blog that aren't actually in my blogroll). What should I do?
In the unlikely event that Lijit's whiz-bang, fully-automated blogroll discovery feature fails, please send us an email at bugreports at lijit dot com, so we can help get you and your search engine back on track.

During the signup process while everything was processing, one of the entries said it "failed". What should I do?
The likely cause of that failure is a very harmless time-out – i.e. Lijit sent a request to that service and was waiting for a response, but the service didn't respond fast enough (it "timed out"). Once you've completed the signup process, visit your Content page and simply try re-adding that service. Hopefully it'll work on the second try, but if not, please tell us about the issue you had by sending an email to bugreports at lijit dot com and we'll check it out.
