3. Add few words about yourself (to be shown on “About Me” tab).
4. Share your public contact details (to appear on “Contact Me” tab).
5. Rename or hide some tabs (e.g., you may wish to remove this “My Blog” tab).
6. Else, if you love blogging: create posts and share your photos, videos, thoughts, you name it.
7. Upload your site icon and personal avatar (to be used as favicon and in comments too).
8. Voilà!

Other Name.ly features to consider:

If you are looking for a way to consolidate your other sites and social profiles [see the sample pages here^*] then please choose one of many Name.ly themes and then configure it accordingly. The following three are the most popular among our users:

• LiveTweets (a Twitter home page with links etc) [click here to preview^*]

Few more useful hints and tips you might wish to discover:

3. Insert your new site’s link into your e-mail signature [tell me how^*]: impress your friends with your brand new elegant Internet address in the e-mail footer and in this way update them on the latest news around you each time you press the “send” button.
4. If you decide to run a blog, remember that you can upload multiple pictures into galleries with just few clicks. Just create a new post and then press on “Add media” star-icons above the formatting menu.
