Branding

It's important to have a consistent profile that goes with you from one social networking site to another. I always use the same head-shot* and the same short bio whenever I register for a new network site.
I am a cherished wife, blessed mother of two, and an experienced home educator. I love to read, write, and occupy the passenger seat on road trips. Life is an adventure! Come ride along!

This is not the place for your lengthy "about me." Share your life story on your first blog post that feeds your Sonlight page, and on a blog page linked with a tab at the top of your blog.

Another tip I picked up is to sign your comments on others' blogs with your blog name. I always sign as "Karla @ Ramblin' Roads." For some reason, blog names are easier to remember and connect with than people names.

Here are links to my profile on various social network sites. Some of these I don't use very much (or haven't recently) but I do have a profile page set up.
* One exception: I don't use my head-shot on my Blogger profile. Instead, I use a picture of me with my car, because it ties in the with the theme of my blog. I posted my business card (with my head-shot) just below my bio on my sidebar. I fuzzed out my phone number on the business card before I posted it because I didn't really want that "out there" on the internet. This is just a personal preference, not necessarily a suggestion.
