First, click on the link provided to you via email to download your About Me Page. It will be in a .rtf file which can be opened in Microsoft Word, Notepad, and most other word processing programs. Save it in a safe place on your hard drive and open your About Me Page.

You will see a bunch of text that looks like code - this is completely normal! There is a lot of text in this document but I’ve made it easy for you to know what to change and what to leave alone. Make sure that you only change what I’ve instructed you to change. Changing anything other than that can result in problems with your About Me Page.

Scroll down until you see a span of about ten spaces around a single sentence in red text. This is how you can tell what information needs to be changed and what information needs to be left alone. You will see the sentence This is the text for your “About Me” header. It will look like this:

This is where you will put your the text for your About Me Page. If you would like to add a paragraph, you can add a tag, it would look something like this:

IMPORTANT! Do not use the "Email & IM", "Direct Link", or "IMG Code" tag - this is the most common picture mistake!

Copy the "HTML Code" simply by clicking in the box, it will automatically be copied (cool huh?). Now, go back into your About Me Page and add a below your text. Paste your HTML Code after the , like this:

If you only have one picture for your page, you're done! If you have more than one, you can easily add more by adding after the code for your first picture, and copying and pasting the "HTML Code" for your second picture. It will look something like this:

You can repeat this process as many times as you like!
