What and Why
You may not know it, but if you click on your username at the top of the webpage you can create a page about yourself. This is a good oppertunity to show other members what kinds of skills and interests you have. Unlike most other websites, you have COMPLETE control over what it looks like. Your userpage is just like any other page in this wiki, a clean slate where you can add anything and style things however you want. The downside to that is that it really is a clean slate, there's no cookie-cutter form to fill out and have it show up. We try to make it easy for you to make your userpage look nice and be useful.
If you would like to see an example of a userpage, you can check out Matt Strum's userpage. It contains most of the available templates users can add on to their own userpage. If you like any certain section, go ahead and hit the EDIT tab and copy the relevant section.
