TIPS:

email addy:
If you chose to share your email address you may want to use [!at] in place of the @ symbol, or spell out "at" to prevent it from being accessed by bots.
profile links:
If you find that links in your profile answers are running awkwardly off the box space you can simply style/code those links so they appear as a clickable name or description (ex: my myspace page) instead of a long url that doesn't fit. See Using Basic HTML if you're not familiar with link code. Or you can use TinyUrl.com to convert the link to something shorter without knowing any code.
profile questions:
Fill out some of the optional profile questions whenever you get time. It helps fellow members get to know you. You can add or edit your profile content at any time.
