To get the most out of Yolisto, it's worth the time to dive into the profile system. Your Yolisto profile drives a lot of the other content and connections you will make here, and will enhance your enjoyment of the site.

To start getting your profile up to snuff, click on the "My Account" link at the very top of the site. This will take you to your main account page. From here, you can do almost anything, including setting up your profile.

The first step to getting your profile healthy is to upload a picture. It can be a picture of you, or of anything you like! This will help other members to get to know you, will become your avatar on the forums, and help your offline friends recognize your smiling face. Click here to upload a profile picture now.

After you get your picture uploaded, tell us a little about yourself! Your profile has spaces to list your likes and dislikes, your favorite movies, books, a general "about me" overview, and more. This will help people decide whether or not you have anything in common, and whether or not to add you as a friend. Click here to update your profile with your likes and dislikes.

Finally, now that you've got your profile all set up, get out there and make some connections! Begin by browsing the list of members on the site. When you see someone you know (or would like to know), click on their picture. You will be taken to THEIR profile, where you can add them as a friend by clicking the "Add to Friends" link in that member's Contact Panel. Adding another member as a friend displays their picture on your profile, and begins updating your "Friend's Activity Feed" (on the home page) with their activity on the site. This way, you'll always know when a friend has uploaded a photo, written an article, or done anything on the site.

That's it! You've set up your profile and added a few friends! And as veterans of social networking sites know...the more friends you have, the better a person you are.  Happy hunting!
