Extended Twellow Bios and Claimed-Profile Highlighting
Something we’ve noticed as we’ve worked on Twellow is the desire of many people to enter a more lengthy and feature-rich bio to their profile. With this in mind we’ve now added a section to user profiles where you, the user, can enter and edit Extended Bio Information.
This simple method allows you to add a much larger bio with up to 2,000 characters. You can also include some limited HTML formatting to further enhance the appearance of your Extended Bio. Twellow currently allows the following HTML tags which you can add to your Extended Bio:
- <p>
- <a href=”value” title=”value”>
- <i>
- <b>
- <br>
These basic tags allow you to create bold text, italic text, paragraph and line breaks, and to add links to your bio so you can better direct people to the information that you want them to find. This effectively allows you to post a mini-resume of sorts, so people looking for your particular talents will have a better idea of how you might be able to help them. Profiles with Extended Bios are marked in Twellow listings so you can see who has filled their Bio out.
Another modest change to the site is the highlighting of claimed profiles in Twellow listings. We’ve added a simple, blue background to any user profiles that have been claimed by their owners. This helps you to better see those listings that have been claimed, and thus the listings that are most likely to be relevant to what you are searching for.
So if you haven’t already, claim your Twellow profile and enter your Extended Bio information. Your listings and connections will be much better off.
Cheers!
