Profiles or How to make someone laugh

Profiles are fun and can be very addictive.
I have a bad habit of reading everyone’s profiles as they come near me. To read a persons profile just right click their AV and select "Profile". Some show dedications of love, for example, search my brother, MarkJ Munro and read his.
Some are about themselves and interests in or out of SL, maybe to get a virtual job or to show talents. A lot show their favorite places and what they like to do while they are there. Try to look at the whole profile clicking on each tab, there is no telling what you my find!

In this I’m going to show you how to make your own profile so you can be as serious or silly or love sick in it as you want.

This is my profile. Nice face hey?

You can get to your profile 2 ways that I know of. One is to click your self a pie chart comes up then Profile or the top of the Menu screen Click Edit then scroll down to Profile; this dandy little box pops up with neat little tabs to look at. You can fill the tabs in or leave them blank, “your profile, your imagination.” :D

Here are the other Tabs on Profiles:

2nd Life Tab: is everything about SL: AV name, your SL birthday, Picture of your AV if you wish.

Partners are like SL marriages, just shows other AVs you are hooked up and hands off. (Got Partner?)

Groups-- Well groups are umm Groups that you joined, those cool little tags that appear on the top of your AV name. -- I made one called "Scramblers Untie".

About Tab: Can be used to talk about yourself or some RPG people use it to describe their characters roll on SL, some profess their love for another AV. Just depends on you and your mood. (One guy had, “I like to blow things up, and if you don’t get me it’s your loss”)

Web Tab: You can put your very own Web page link there! (I put this one.)

Interests Tab: Is once again SL related they can help you get that virtual job if you use it properly. (I'm in between jobs) *wink*

Classifieds Tab: Umm not sure, I think that’s for like store owners.

Picks Tab: That would be the places in SL you think might be cool for others to visit. Say you are TPed to a spot and want to share that with others that might be a profile reader, like me. Just click the New button on top and WABAM!! You have your first Pick. You can delete it as well, just click the little name on the left side and click the Delete button. UNWABAM!! It’s gone.

1st Life Tab: is supposed to be your Real Life info. You don’t have to fill that out. I think I put something goofy in mine. (Usually I put up some drawing I uploaded.)

My Notes Tab: Well, I don’t use that on me, but I do use it about my friends, it helps me remember information they gave me. Like where we met, their favorite color, etc. (This one girl I met on here, my only note is "WHACK A DOO"). <~~ I see her, I umm... TP away :D

Ok that’s all the Tabs, I like to mess around with the Picks and of course 2nd Life Tab most of all.

On the Picks Tab you can change that around. I really messed mine up. I clicked one of my Pick Names and added my own picture. To do that,

Double Click on the orginal picture and your Texture and Photo Album in the Inventory will pop up. It’s sort of like adding a texture to a prim.

Find your picture you want in there and Select it or slide it on your profile.

Just below the Picture Box Area you see a small square, usually with the original Pick Name Title, just delete that out and you can rename the whole Picks Tab there and call it what ever you want. Like the person in the picture, a cool area, a glitch in SL anything! I call this one “Jacks & Mark”

And just below that is a larger area, this has the original description of the Pick, like shoes or clothing or free umm toys. Once again, delete that text out and put what ever you want to in there

After you are done click the OK tab at the bottom to save your handy work.
