Hi artichack! It sounds like you want to get an avatar (the picture next to people's member names) and add things to your signature (where everyone puts their quotes and blog links). To do this, go to "My Profile" in the upper left hand portion of the message board. There, on the left side will be all kinds of stuff you can do with your profile. To add/edit your avatar, select "Edit Avatar" under Settings & Options. There are several avatars to select from or you can upload one from a website or your computer. To edit your signature, click on "Edit Signature" under Settings & Options and add your quotes, links, or whatever you want. You can edit the font color, size, etc. on that screen. I hope this helps somewhat....
