Welcome to Linkatopia. Here's a few things you can do to get started...
On your Linkatopia page, under your username, you'll see a link called
[edit profile]. You should definitely take a minute
to look at this page and set the privacy options and preferences for your account.
For more details about privacy options, see /help/privacy.
While you're in the Profile Editor, why not say something about yourself so people
looking at your links will know what to expect. If you say, "I'm a photographer", people
might be more interested in your photography links. If you say, "I'm a doctor", people may
want to see what medical links you like.
If you have a web site, or another page that you really want people to see, you should
list it in your bio. No fancy HTML or anything is necessary, just write the name of
your site and it will automatically become a link. If your profile is public, your bio
will be indexed by Google and other search engines. This helps bring more people to
your site.
When you're surfing online and you find a great web site, blog, video, or article, you'll
want to save it in your Linkatopia. If you add a Linkatopia button
to your browser's toolbar, you won't have to do any copying and pasting and you won't
have to leave the site you're on either. When you want to save a site, all you have to do is
click a button! Nothing has to be downloaded or installed either. In
Firefox, you can simply drag a Linkatopia button to your
toolbar from the buttons page.
One of the best ways to start your Linkatopia is by posting the links to your own pages.
If you have a MySpace,
Flickr,
Blogger,
LiveJournal,
DeadJournal,
FaceParty,
Blurty,
Orkut,
LipstickParty,
and so on, take one of them and add it.
Each time you add a link, you'll be asked to enter at least one "Tag". Tags
are simply categories you create to organize your links.
For your personal pages, enter the tag, "About Me" (without the quotes of course). You can
add other tags like "Myspace", "Blogs" or whatever makes sense. For more info
about using tags, see /help/tags.
After you get the hang of it, you'll want to learn about RSS Feeds...
