The Profile Page Element

This is a nice accessory, to give your blog readers a chance to see you, as a person. Or, if you have a blog with multiple contributors, to see each contributor.

It's a pretty simple page element, with limited possibilities.

• If the blog has multiple contributors, it will show a list of the contributors, with links to their Google profiles.
• If the blog has just one contributor, it shows a few things.
  • The picture, from the Google profile.
  • A few basic facts, that you can change at will.
  • A link to your Google profile.

What you can change is pretty limited.

• You can remove the page element itself.
• You can prevent it from showing a page element, if there is only 1 contributor.
• You can add a few details about yourself, to show if there is only 1 contributor.

If you need more granularity, say you don't want your photo, or the link to your Google profile, just remove the page element, or turn off "Share my profile".

• If you just want your picture, and a short caption, add a Picture page element.
• If you just want text, you can add either an HTML / JavaScript, or a Text, page element.
• If you want your picture, and some text about yourself, add an HTML / JavaScript page element, and arrange the text above, beside, and below the picture.
• If you just want text, you can add either an HTML / JavaScript, or a Text, page element.
• If you want links to other web pages, HTML / JavaScript will do fine there, too.

Use your imagination. The standard Profile page element is just a start. With an HTML / JavaScript page element, there are endless possibilities.
