You asked, we delivered—now you can really express yourself.  Check out your new expanded profile options and start telling us who you are and what you like.  That’s right, list your hobbies, your favorite movies, music and TV shows.  Join a group, upload a photo and favorite that sweet blog post you read this morning.  Profiles are where it’s at, and if you deck out yours to the brim you’ll be in the running for $100 cash.

To qualify simply make sure that every section of your profile has something in it (you’ll need to have an avatar, ‘favorite things,’ ‘hobbies and interests,’ a brief ‘about me’ blurb, an uploaded photo or two, be a member of a group, and have at least one favorite article or blog post). 

So Get Started!  It’s fun, it’s easy and you’ll learn how to use some of the site’s new features.   You’ll also be in the running for a cool $100.  If your profile qualifies simply leave a comment on this contest thread to enter.  Disaboom will randomly select a winner from all the qualifying entries.

Contest is over February 18, 2008.  Winner will be selected by February 20, 2008.  

Don’t know where to start?  Here's a link to instructions on uploading your Avatar (profile picture).  Here's a link describing the difference between Groups and Discussion Boards.  Scroll down to see how to make your profile rock with the best of them.  Don't forget to leave a comment on this thread when you're finished decking out your profile!

-------------------------

Filling out your profile is very simple.  First, make sure you're signed in to disaboom.com.  Then click the "View Profile" button next to your username near the top right hand side of the page.  You'll soon see a page that looks similar to the image below.  Click the orange "Edit" buttons to add to each relevant section.  When you want to upload an image click the "Upload a Photo" button.  There you go!

Attention Tim:

Any progress on how to change signatures?  I get bored looking at the same thing and I might even add a pic.

Do I win anything for being the 100th person to ask you that?

My profile is complete as well. However, Joe, moderators may not be eligible since they are supposed  to already have their profiles complete to the Nth degree. LOL
