Are changes posted here?

Hi, I'm trying to figure some things out,
I don't know if there are changes to the website
or I just don't remember how to do things.

So if anyone knows the answers or tricks to
figure this out, please let me know!

1. I don't see my picture appearing on the home
page anymore.

I thought it was a bit odd that since my account
was set to private that it USED to show up.

So did they make a change so now private people
DO NOT show up?

that was also how I used to rely on seeing
when myfriends were on.

I used to get a lot more visits
to my guest book when my pic appeared on the home page.

I'm not complaining, just confused. For privacy reasons
it makes sense they do not show up.

2. The relationship thing SAYS it's broken, yet it keeps
creating relationships, this confuses me also.

3. I used to be able to see how many times my blog was accessed
and now I can't see that number.

Am I losing my mind, or are they making changes?

thanks!
