You can add your Contact Information, Messaging and General and later you can select which part of your profile to display in different Mahara pages.

1. Choose Content  > Profile. Add a short introduction about yourself. When staff or students search your name within the Mahara @ EdUHK network, this introduction will be displayed under your name .

2: Click Contact Information next to About me tab to add your contact information. 


Click the Save profile button to save your changes.


3. Profile icons bring your profile to life! They are the first thing that people see about you when they are interacting with you in different areas of the site.

Click on ContentProfile Picture.

Click on Choose File or Browse to upload your profile picture. Your pictures must be between 16x16 and 1024x1024 pixels in size. You may upload up to five profile icons and you can delete any icon at any point.

Don't forget to add an Image Title for your profile icon before you click the upload button.

Once selected, use the Upload button to add it to your collection of icons.

Click the Set Default button to make this the image others will see when they view your Mahara pages. You can change this whenever you wish.
