DailySpark is Now 'The SparkPeople Blog'

Monday, April 15, 2013

Happy Monday, everyone!

Today we are happy to announce a new change that will make your SparkPeople experience even easier!

As of today our DailySpark blog, which we launched as the separate website DailySpark.com in 2008, is moving to SparkPeople.com. Now you can read all of our great blog posts right here at SparkPeople without having to click away to another site. It's also getting a new name: The SparkPeople Blog.

You'll find the SparkPeople blog stories on your Start page, in your daily "Best of SparkPeople" email, and now under the "Articles & Videos" dropdown (pictured below), too.



In addition, all SparkPeople announcements that we used to post here (like this one) will now be posted on The SparkPeople Blog going forward. So look for your news about SparkPeople and our new features there.

To read more about the reasons for this transition (and the benefits), click here.

We are excited about bringing you great stories, news and tips from SparkPeople experts and partners in this new, easier to use format. We'll see you at the NEW The SparkPeople Blog!

Thanks for your support,

The SparkPeople Team

Spread the Spark in 2 Seconds

Tuesday, February 05, 2013

Good evening, Sparkers!

Today we added a "share" functionality to your Nutrition Tracker page. You'll see it on the top left of the page as indicated here by the arrow:



We want to clarify that by sharing this page via Pinterest or Facebook, your personal data will NOT be shared. No one will see information about you, your calories, the foods you've tracked or even your username if you choose to "like" or "Pin" this page.

Rather, those sharing options are simple ways you can help Spread the Spark. Should you choose to share our Nutrition Tracker with your Facebook friends or Pinterest followers, you'll be helping to Spread the Spark by telling others about our free calorie-tracker tool. It only takes two seconds of your time and it's totally optional, but it's a great way to spread the word about SparkPeople.

Please consider visiting your Nutrition Tracker page today and "sharing" the page via social media. You never know who you might "Spark"--and by doing so, you'll help us in our mission to Spark millions of People to get healthier and live happier!

Thanks so much! SparkCheers!

The SparkPeople Team
