Things you could do: 1. Use a picture of you looking natural. 2. Write a short biography that tells our clients why they might want to consider hiring you. 3. Add a link to your previous work so clients can see what you've done in the past. 4. Add any contact information to make it easier for clients to contact you.
Things you might want to avoid: 1. Do not upload cartoons, copyrighted work, or images that do not represent you. 2. Do not upload huge images. Even though images are scaled down using CSS rules, they still take the same amount of time and bandwidth to reach the clients' browsers. Crop the images to 100x100px for best results. 3. Do not shorten your bio to statements like "I am a programmer." (most clients know that we're a group of developers based on information on the homepage). 4. Show off your markmin skillz (http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/markmin.html) but don't overdo, and don't break the page layout. An example of a good profile page: http://experts4solutions.com/e4s/default/expert/2 Example of a bad profile page: http://experts4solutions.com/e4s/default/expert/1 :) On Thu, Nov 18, 2010 at 1:04 PM, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > No. ;-) > > On Nov 17, 9:40 pm, Nathan Freeze <nat...@freezable.com> wrote: >> Massimo, your bio is missing a pic.
