New Year, New You!

With the new year starting, these are the things you should make sure to update in your WdC public profile.


Have you ever looked back at your biography and realized you haven't updated it in a few years? That you no longer work at the place you say you work, or that the television show you say is your favorite is no longer making new episodes, and you have long since moved onto another new favorite, even though the old one still holds a special place in your heart?

I sure have!

Though, with you newbies, I suppose the issue you would more often have is not knowing what places you have o tell people these juicy tidbits about yourself.

So, whether you are a member of the club of the former description, or the latter, here's a list of things you might want to take a quick glance at to be sure you've at least updated it sometime recently, or fill out for us nosey peoples.

*Bullet* Your Handle
Did you remember to remove your turkey or Christmas handle? Maybe you had a Hanakah handle? Either way, it should be removed by now. Kinda like taking down Christmas decorations, though, it's a little depressing.

Where: Left Sidebar
My Account > Change Handle

*Bullet* Biography
This is the one I nearly always end up forgetting to update. What I ought to do is give it information that doesn't need to be updated as often, but where's the fun in that? So, instead, I forget and when I read it over, I grumble. But anyway! There are some default questions here for you to fill in with little tidbits about yourself! It's great for people just wanting to get to know a little bit about you.

Where :Within your portfolio
Left Sidebar > Portfolio > Biography > click on cog on the top right of the screen > biography section will open automatically

Don't forget to update your biography image, there, too!

*Bullet* Portfolio Blurb
This is separate from your Biography. A shorter little introduction to who you are, so it requires much less detail, and there's no guidance as to what to put in. So, just give a little summary of who you are.

Where: Within your portfolio.
Left Sidebar > Portfolio > Portfolio > click on cog on the top right of the screen > box will show up on page - update blurb, then click "submit update"

Don't forget to update your Portfolio Image here, too! (This image is the one that actually shows up when you post on forums, etc.)
