The tiny little thing that I wrote in 20 July 2006 seems to have caught the attention of a few eHarmony users. They gave it the appelation of “eHarmony Blog Script”.
While I like the great response to something I wrote in exasperation and in two minutes, I don’t like that it’s called the eHB script. First, there really is no programming in there. Second, it’s not even valid HTML. Third, what if I post another eHarmony hack tomorrow — what will you call it then?
Obviously I’m rambling. 
The question that HAS been brought forth is this: Does it actually work? Today, 15 months since I wrote it, does it produce more matches?
Here is the answer: If the HTML file ran for hours today and didn’t give you your daily dosage of six matches, then eHarmony on its own won’t give you six matches today either… unless someone signs up sometime later.
Okay that doesn’t sound right. I don’t think I answered the question. So let me rephrase the question to this: Does it actually make a difference?
The answer? YES. Why? Because members who are active more recently receive more matches. This fact is proven by the experience of many members. Accounts that are dormant get lesser and lesser matches, whether they are paying or not. Thus, when you use the script, you beat everyone, because your account’s “date of last activity” is always no more than ten minutes ago. You’re always on top of the pile, baby!
For example, if you seek Japanese Muslims within an unpopulated area, you naturally won’t get 6 matches a day, with or without the HTML file. However, if somebody there like that DOES join eHarmony this afternoon, or someone there changes one’s religion and ethnicity settings this evening, and you two are so-called compatible, then the HTML file helps a lot. It makes a whole lot of difference.
Some members who use the script report that they are hereby matched to fresh members more frequently. This, I think, is the best part about using the eHarmony Blog Script.
So, okay, call it the eHarmony Blog Script if you want.
