Now, at the top you can change your current status messages. This messages can only contain 140 words (including spaces etc.). Like twitter ;) .

The avatar function allows you to set your profile picture that's shown in your posts etc. . Hit the image, choose an image from you computer. That's it.

Next, select your gender, if you want to.
If you want to show or hide it, select the corresponding options.

If you want to set your location, you might set it under "Location". Are you a member of staff. Enter your position there! You can write your real life occupation as well.
If you have a homepage, you might list it there. It's allowed and might help you, increasing your visitors.
We want to know you a bit. So you can enter some general information about you in "About You".
