Your Adoring Public
When another member clicks on your WebMD member nickname from a post on our message boards, they will see your Persona. But, they won't see everything.
Here is how the public view of your WebMD Persona breaks down.
Photos/Images
As you can see right at the top of the page, WebMD Community members will soon be able to add their own photos and images to illustrate their Persona pages. There will be a size limit and a brand new set of guidelines to help you choose the right image. You may want to include a photo of yourself or even a family photo. Or if you like your privacy, you can use another photo or image that has meaning for you.
If you don't have a photo or image you'd like to use, we'll have a selection of images you can choose from as well.
As with your words, your images also must stay within the confines of WebMD's Terms of Use. So, when you upload your photo it won't show immediately. The image will go into a moderated queue, where it will be accepted or declined by someone on our staff. If it is declined, you will receive an email explaining why.
If you are going to use photos of family or friends, you'll probably want to make sure they don't mind being seen on WebMD!
Your Personal Tagline
You also now have the option of naming your Persona anything you like. For instance, if you are a member of the Type 2 Diabetes community, you may want to call your Persona "My Diabetes Journey". You may even want to use your favorite quote. Be creative. Choose something that speaks to you or describes you.
Under the tagline, there is also an area that displays your member nickname, Location (You don't have to put your real city/state here.), and a few auto-generated tidbits: Number of Posts, Member Since, and Last Here.
Your Profile
The profile that shows up in the center of the Persona page is very similar to the current WebMD member profile. If you have already filled out your WebMD profile on our current boards, your profile will automatically transfer to your new Persona page. If you haven't filled one out yet, we encourage you to do it soon!
This is a great place to tell others in your community a little bit about yourself, your health challenges, your hobbies, and more.
In the next post, we'll explore the parts of your private WebMD Persona.
