Where do the goals come from?

Todaysgoal.com is a collection of user generated goals sent to us exclusively by our visitors using a simple submission form, which is then publish to the website. Visitors are encouraged to share their goals, cheer on others, and motivate one another. Once posted on the site, goals can have comments added about them, how-to advice, and even sent to the 'Top Goals' page with the click of a button.

How does it work?

Each user can contribute to the site and submit their own goal by clicking on the Submit Goals link in the menu at the top of the page. To be published, visitor's goals will have to be approved by the users' votes (you can vote at the Moderate Goals' link). Member's goals do not require moderation and go live instantly. This subject is explained in the next point. As soon as your goal is online, visitors can vote for it by clicking the 'I like your goal' link. These votes allow us to rank your goal, and the very best goals end up on the 'Top Goals' page.

Why has my goal not been approved?

Each day we receive many goals. Goals are moderated mainly by other users, but can be instantly approved by an administrator. If a goal receives 1 'Yes' vote on the moderation page, it is automatically posted to the homepage. Likewise, if it receives 3 'No' votes, it is deleted from the system although this very rarely happens. Member's goals do not require moderation, and will post live to the homepage immediately.

Why should I create a member's account?

However, even if you do not sign up to become a fully fledged todaysgoal.com member, you can still submit a goal, moderate the goals, and vote for the goals so they can climb to the top.

How can I find a goal or another member?

You can use the search box at the top right hand corner of the page. To find a goal, type a word or two from the goal into the search box and hit enter. If you want to find a member, use the advanced search and type in any of that member's information.

How can I find my own goals?

While non-member's goals are not stored on any one page together, you can still find them using the search box. Member's goals are stored on a page and can be accessed by clicking the 'My Goals' link found in the sidebar member menu, or on your profile page. Goals that members add to their favorites are stored on their profile page at the bottom. Goals are favorited by clicking the 'more' sign on the right side of the goal display. On the dropdown, click ' Add to favorites.' Now you can keep track of all your goals and visit them again and again.

What's the deal with the deadline?

Users of todaysgoal.com can choose to set a deadline for their goal if they wish. Setting a deadline for your goal can give you a tangible date to work towards. Goals without deadlines have a tendency of getting pushed back time after time. The deadline pushes you much quicker to accomplishment, so I recommend setting a deadline with each goal. Good luck and have fun.

Most importantly, thank you for using Todaysgoal.com and have fun!
