If you're the owner of a profile, you can view your profile in two ways - in the edit view, you can administer everything in your profile.  By clicking 'View Profile', this is how others will see you on the site.

Your email address, postal address and telephone number will never be displayed publicly.  You can choose whether to display other information such as Number of Employees, Current Turnover Bracket, Years in Business etc. in the Basic Info tab when you are in 'Edit Profile'.

 

To edit your profile, go to 'My Profile' and then click the 'Edit' link next to your name.

There are 5 tabs which you can administer:

Account - This is where you can change your email address and password, choose to become a blocked member rather than an active one, and select if you would like to receive email notifications for any private messages on the site.

Basic Info - Add a photo, change your personal details and your business details (address, employees etc.), add external sources such as a blog and Twitter username, and indicate whether or not you have Time To Help (an icon will appear on the 'Get Connected' page which shows you have time to help other members.)  

My Story - Content which you can add to tell people your business journey so far.  Doesn't need to be a novel, just a bit about you, your business and how you got to stage you're at now.  You can go back and add to this whenever you like.

My Experiences - These are also called 'Badges' - basically it's what you've achieved in business so far - this can be anything from writing a formal business plan, to starting another business.  Members will then be able to find you on the 'Get Connected' page under these experiences.  The idea is that if someone wants to know how to write a business plan for example, take a look at people who have done that already!
