turning off "View my Complete Profile"

Hi

I've set up a blog using a template and made just a few modifications. The blog displays with a link "View my Complete Profile" in the "About me" section. How do I remove this "View my Complete Profile" link? It doesn't seem to appear as a piece of text in the blog's template html. I've nothing much on the profile and I really don't want people going through to it.

Under Blogger's "Edit User Profile" menu, there is a check box that lets you choose if you want to share your profile with the public. Uncheck this box and the view my complete profile link will disappear.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Stratman.

Yes that works. Of course it also zaps the photograph and other info that the template picks up from the profile. In a perfect world I would like to keep all this, just get shot of the words "view my complete profile" and the link to the profile.

I suppose the alternative would be to upload a photo direct to the template - but how do I do this?

If you are using New Blogger and it's layouts, you can add photos or graphics to your sidebar using the add a gadget feature and selecting picture.

If you are using an old Blogger template, it's more complicated. You will have to create the image you want sized to fit in your sidebar. You will then have to upload it to a free hosting service such as Photobucket. Once you have done this, Photobucket will give you an address of where your picture is stored. It will start with http:

You will then use the below code:

<img src="the address given to you by Photobucket"/>

Change the text in red above to the address of your image.

Place the entire code above into your template in place of the below code:

<$BlogMemberProfile$>

Hope this helps!

Hi Stratman

It looks like an answer and thanks very much for this. I'm using an old blogger template so I guess I'll get round to it sometime when I've got a spare hour or two. Thanks.
