User profiles
One way to participate in the Paglo community is to have fun with your User Profile, the tag by which other Paglo users know you.
About your tag
Your tag contains your handle (the name you want to be known by), your avatar (the image you want to represent you), and your ranking. It contains some other tidbits too, such as how long you've been using Paglo, and how many posts you've made.
View your profile page
Your most recent posts are listed on your Profile Page. To see this page, click your handle on the tag in the upper right corner of the Community page. Your Profile Page also shows how many searches, dashboards, and other Share-its you have contributed, as well as the total number of posts. All of these help toward your ranking as a member of the Paglo community.
Managing your profile
You can enter your profile information on the Edit Profile page. Your Paglo tag appears on the upper right corner of this page, and serves as your public face by which your fellow Paglo users can recognize you. You can give yourself a handle and an avatar, and share things about yourself, such as your favorite blog or technology.

- In the upper right, notice the tag that identifies you on Paglo, and displays your current ranking.
