Text Box: Lame name, but made of superawesome
Want to add an eye-popping intro to your My Page? A resume PDF? A widget? A few featured photos? Well, then, my profiletastic friend, you're in luck!
One of the most useful tools on your My Page is the understatedly named Text Box (push it to the top of your profile to make it an effective intro). Sure, you could just put text in there — if you're not the sort of person who enjoys superawesomeness — but you've got a lot more options.
You can:
* Embed a widget from another site — like a YouTube video. Just paste the embed code from the other site into your text box.
* Add photos. Click the photo link on the toolbar. You'll even get options for wrapping the text around the image, or resizing right from within the MH interface.
* Upload and link to a file. Got a PDF you want to share? A PowerPoint file? Hit the small icon that looks like a blank page (next to the photos icon), and you can upload just about anything.
