BlogHer - Questions about editing profile? - Comments

Yes it looks like it does

If you hold on just a wee bit longer, we're going to launch new profiles.... that should resolve this tag problem.

Shhh don't tell anyone, it's a secret. :-)

Profile & Tags issue

mamakerribell — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:30:18 -0500

I'm new to the site and trying to set up my profile but my bio won't stick and I can't edit my tags, either. Does my profile need to be reset? Help! Thanks so much!

And there you are

Almost every time an image isn't uploading it's because the image is too large. Open up an image editing program , view full size and then resize it down to 250 - 350 wide.

Help! I can't seem to upload a new picture. I've refreshed my browser, and still it won't work. Can I e-mail it to you? Thanks!4Angel~http://hereandnow4angel.blogspot.com

Pictures in profile

Denise — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 17:15:28 -0500

Log into BlogHer and click "edit my profile" on the right side of the profile page.

Click "account settings" scroll down to the picture section and check the box to delete current image. Find the picture on your computer you want to use, by selecting the browse button. Click save.

View your profile. If you don't see the new image, do a hard refresh of your browser (hold CTRL and reload the browser)

If that doesn't work, email me denise@blogher.com and describe what the new image should look like - or send me a copy of the image that you wanted to upload.

Updating my picture

Not So SAHM — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 17:11:03 -0500

I attempted to upload a new picture but could never find a button that said "upload". I clicked "save" at the bottom of the page, but that didn't do the trick. How do I change my picture?

Thanks!

It needs a reset

Denise — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 07:20:08 -0500

Your profile needs to be reset on the back end and I've submitted the request for that. I'll send you an email when it's ready for you to enter data.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Empty fields in Profile

tcousineau — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 22:26:40 -0500

I'm getting started (again) at BlogHer and my profile is empty, I fill it in, and then it seems to disappear. There is some info saved info from whenI first registered months ago, but nothing is sticking in the fields when I Edit my account.

Some answers...

Denise — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 09:43:10 -0500

After you log into BlogHer, click the "my profile" button in the top right corner of the site. Then click "edit my profile" in the top right corner of your profile page.

Click Account Settings and scrolll down to the "signature line box" and add your signature line. Save your changes on that page. (Be aware that your signature only auto-appears in comments and will not appear when you create a new blog entry or a new forum entry.)

Next, click "basic profile" and enter a brief bio of yourself and include a link to your blog(s) - HTML is accepted in the bio field and I would recommend you use it to make your link(s) clickable.) Save your changes here.

Next, click "tag profile" and then click "tags". This expands the tag menu and allows you to fill in all sorts of "about me" type tag boxes. These are tags, so don't write in complete sentences or your tag profile will form oddly. ;-) The brief bio box on this page does not accept HTML but I would still recommend including the name and url of your blog. You can also add the RSS link for one of your blogs and as long as it isn't an atom fed blog snippets from your four most recent posts will appear on the tag profile page.

Let me know if you have any more questions or problems. You can email me directly at denise @ blogher .com or you can use the "contact us" form, selecting profile problems in the drop down and the form will go right to me.

Adding blog URL to public profile

csfreedman — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 21:49:34 -0500

I also have a profile question. How do I a edit and add to my "public profile" - the one that is shown when I post a blog entry on the site? When I press "Edit Profile" most of those items do not show up.

Also, how do I add my blog address to my signature when I leave comments on other posts? My URL is: http://adifferentnrest.blogspot.com

I am sure you get these questions often so I really thank you for answering.

Not everyone has sticky tags, but some do and those have to have their profile reset. We don't really know why but we're working on it.

I'm sending yours off for reset now and will email you when it's cleared.

Me Too! Me Too!

Vered — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 16:38:27 -0500

Denise: I also have sticky tags that won't go away.

So you need to fix each of those individually? That seems like a lot of work.

sticky 'tags'

SuzyRenovator — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 16:21:26 -0500

Hi Denise,

I too am having difficulties deleting information I've entered under tags. Can you let me know when it's fixed too, please?

Thank you!

Questions about editing profile?

Wed, 15 Aug 2007 13:00:16 -0500

I saw another thread about profiles but it didn't seem to answer my question, so I apologize if this is a repost. In the public view of my profile, it only shows about 100 characters of the bio I entered on the 'edit profile' tab. Is this normal? When I was editing my profile on the 'public profile' tab, I entered a paragraph and I can see this when I view my own profile, but if I log out and then view my profile as anyone else would I can only see the fields from the 'edit my profile' tab such as the tags and snapshot, and about 100 characters of the bio I entered on this page. Is there a bug, or am I only allowed 100 characters?

Also, what do the tags do? Can I use them to find other members with similar interests?

And finally, this isn't profile-related but is there a Blogher RSS feed i can put on my blog?

Thanks!
