How do I edit my Profile?
Choose the "Edit Profile" option under the Quick Links menu at the top of each page. This will take you into your control panel, where you can make changes to your bio, interests, favorites, and more. Look for the "Edit Profile Picture" option to include a photo of yourself (up to 210x210 pixels)! Remember, your Profile page is viewable by other Members! Don't put anything in there you don't want others to be able to see.
