They say the eyes are the window to the soul. We might say the same thing about your profile page—here’s how to customize it to fit your own sparkling personality.

Step 1: Visit your profile page

Log into Howcast and visit your profile page by clicking “My Profile” at the top of the page.

Step 2: Edit your information

Click the link that reads “Edit your profile information.” Here you can change your picture and personal information, such as your name, birthday, occupation, websites, and schools.

Step 3: Change your appearance

From your profile page, click “change its appearance.”

Step 4: Pick a theme

Pick a theme, which provides the overall color scheme for your page. If you want to choose all the colors yourself, click “Custom.”

Step 5: Enter information

Under the heading “My Profile,” enter a name for and description of your page. You can also pick a featured video and set it to play automatically when anyone visits your profile.

Step 6: Manage your layout

Manage your layout. Add or remove sections by clicking the checkboxes—or arrange them by dragging the boxes themselves.

Step 7: Choose colors and fonts

Choose your colors and fonts carefully. Ask yourself, “If I was a color, what would I be?” Just kidding. But seriously, what about a font? We’d be Trebuchet, because it’s a kind of medieval catapult.

Step 8: Change your background image

Change your background image, if you want. Under “Background Type,” you can choose to either upload or link to a background image. Just keep it simple—if your photo is too busy, it can make your page difficult to read.

Step 9: Save your changes

When you’re done, click “Save” at the bottom of the page. Now your soul, err, profile is on display to the world!
