Your Profile has four elements.
Your wonderful face,
contact and biographical information,
a list of people who have you in their My People list
and a blog to share what interests you with your colleagues.
You'll want to add your picture to your Profile.
Personally I would find a picture of your nostrils to be endlessly amusing, but remember the image you choose will appear everywhere.
The information you enter in your Profile will be available to your coworkers even through a search.
For example, if you were to add Industry Trends as an expertise, coworkers searching for "trends" would see you in the People section of a search.
Wondering what to do with a blog?
You can see your last microbolg here, and add a new post right here.
Whatever you type here will show up in the Pulse - which is on everyone's home screen.
The microblog enables you 2 quickly inform people what you are doing, planning or thinking about.
Blog posts don't need to be a major undertaking.
Next time you come across some information that's relevant,
add a blog post,
include a link
and share why you found the information interesting.
After all, blogs are popular because we are interested in what other people think.
And we are even more interested in knowing what the people we trust think.
You'll be able to tell if people are reading your blog by checking your statistics.
