Creating an account is simple. All you have to do is register by selecting an available username and providing a valid password. Your username and password will be emailed to you so you also need to supply a valid email address. As long as you agree to the terms of service and privacy policy then your account will be created.
Once you've registered and logged in you can go to the edit profile page and fill in the form there with your details. Don't worry about having to enter something in every field, the ones you leave blank will not be displayed in your profile. Once you're done you simply click edit profile and you'll be taken to your newly updated profile page. Your user icon is updated on the upload icon page.
On the edit profile page there is a drop down menu that asks who you wish your contact details to be visible to. You can change this setting at any time you want. If you select "everyone" then obviously everyone can see your details, and if you select "just me" then they are only visible to you. If you select "the people on my network" then everyone you have added to your network can see them. If you wish your details to be visible to your network but you're not comfortable with a specific user viewing them then you can also remove them from your network by visiting their profile page.
Once you're logged in go to the upload icon page. Simply click the "browse" button the form and navigate to the image you wish to upload that. Having selected it and submitted the form your image will be uploaded as long as it falls within Linkdom's image rules (User pictures can be JPG, GIF or PNG and no larger than 40KB or 100x100 pixels in size.)
