Optimize Your Triond Profile
Just a suggestion on how you can improve it.
I do scan the profile pages of Trionders when they (a) comment on my articles, (b) become my fan or if (c) i like their picture. Every Trionder is unique and interesting in their own ways. Each also has a unique introductory style, which they use in their profile.
While scanning, I have noticed that most Trionders integrate links to their blogs, Factoidz page or any other pages that they want to plug online. And they do it in a well, copy-and-past manner. You know, just pasting the link as plain text without a hyperlink. When they do this, the profile seems crowded with the URL link. And if someone passes by your profile page, I can say, with today’s clicking lifestyle, only 2 out of 10 would have the time/urge to highlight the entire link, click Ctrl+C, open a new tab and click Ctrl+V.
This conventional way is not well, practical. For me, at least.
So, my point is..
I just have a suggestion, why not place a hyperlink instead of the plain URL text? That way, the About Me Section will look clean as you will use the title of that page instead. Also, it will be more attractive since a hyperlinked text has a different color from the plain texts. Lastly, it will offer your audience an easier way of accessing your pages. Click my Triond profile page to see what I really mean. (Just ignore the Factoidz messy link.)
How to do it..
Convinced? And you say you want to try it? You can. In your dashboard, click the Edit About Me. Then, for example you want to display the words, “My Blog” and you want the target page to be “http://www.myblog.com”, use the code below:
<a href=’Insert targeted URL here’>My Blog</a>
Just replace the words, “Insert target URL” with “http://www.myblog.com”. Hope my instructions are easy to follow. And I don’t know why my Factoidz link seems to be broken when I integrate it into the code. If you know why or how, then feel free to comment because I’d also love to know.
Try this and make your audience go clicky. *Goodluck!

Thanks for the help. I want to put a link to my blog on my profile and I want the title to appear, not the URL. I tried it once. A friend helped me but it didn’t work. I think that’s the same format she gave me. Will let you know. Thanks!

I have read this topic being discussed in the forum. Some complained that they cannot put a hyperlink to their profile. If you have tried it already, maybe it is working now. Masubukan nga later. Thanks!
