Part 1: Text Formatting
There are many ways to format the text in your Profile Content to help it stand out, in order to do so you will need to navigate to the profile Content section of your profile.
1. Bold Text
Description: The text formatting bar within the profile content with the B button (left) for making text bold highlighted in a red outline.
If you would like your text in bold click the B, this will put 4 stars in the content box. Type your message between these stars to make it show in bold.
Description: Two Images, the first showing "**I am Bold text**" and the second showing the same text but as a viewer would see it, in bold.
2. Italicized Text
Description: The text formatting bar within the profile content with the I button (second from the left) for making text italicized highlighted in a red outline.
If you would like your text italicized click the I, this will put 2 underscores in the content box. Type your message between these underscores to make it show italicized.

3. Heading
Description: The text formatting bar within the profile content with the H button (third from the left) for making the text a header text highlighted in a red outline.
If you would like your text to be a heading click the H, this will put 3 hashtags next to each other. Type your message after the 3 hashtags to make your text look like a heading.
Description: Two Images, the first showing "### I am a heading" and the second showing the output as a viewer would see it, as a larger, headed, font style.
4. Code
Description: The text formatting bar within the profile content with the </> button (fifth from the left) for making text appear as code highlighted in a red outline.
If you would like your text to appear as code click </>, this will put 2 backticks next to each other. Type your message between these 2 backticks to make your text look like code.
Description: Two Images, the first showing "`I am code`" and the second showing the output as a viewer would see it, as smaller pink text.
5. Links
Description: The text formatting bar within the profile content with the chain button (sixth from the left) for making text have a link highlighted in a red outline.
If you would like your text to appear as a link click the chain link button, this will put the following: [](URL)
Put the text you would like to see in the square brackets, and place your website link in place of the word URL, this will make your text link to your chosen website.
Description: Two Images, the first showing "[I am a link to Glimesh](https://glimesh.tv)" and the second showing the output as a viewer would see it, as the text "I am a link to Glimesh" in blue to indicate a link.
6. Unordered Lists
Description: The text formatting bar within the profile content with the bullet pointed button (seventh from the left) for making an unordered list highlighted in a red outline.
To create an unordered, or bullet-pointed, list, type your list into the content box and highlight it. Once this is highlighted click the bullet point icon, this will add dashes to each of the items in your list.

Part 2: Adding Images
In order to add images to your profile, you will need to ensure your images are hosted on an online image-sharing website. We recommend using Imgur, but any image hosting service will work.
If you are unsure how to upload images to Imgur please follow this guide made by Imgur.
Description: Image showing an uploaded image of a smiling glimdrop on desktop Imgur. The top right corner of the image has a button labeled "copy link" with a button with 3 dots next to it. Below the image is a box to add an image description.
Once you have uploaded your image to Imgur, or your image-sharing site of choice, click the copy link button on your image and then head to the profile content section of your profile.
1. Adding Images
Description: The text formatting bar within the profile content with the image button (seventh from the left) for adding an image highlighted in a red outline.
In order to add your image first click the image icon to place the markdown syntax into your profile content.
Clicking this button will place  into your content box.
Replace the word URL with the link to your image, and add .png to the end of the link, in between the brackets, for example: 
!! CHECKPOINT !!
When adding your link be sure to add .png to the end of the link otherwise your image will not work
Give your title an image/some descriptive text between the square [] brackets, for example: 
Once you have done this, click update settings at the bottom of the page.
2. Adding Images With Links
If you would like your image to link to a website when it is clicked, you can also do this.
Follow the steps above to add your image. So your profile content will look something like the below:
Wrap all of this section in square brackets [] so it looks something like this: []
At the end of these square brackets open a normal bracket ( and add the name of the website you would like your image to link to, followed by a close bracket ), so it will look like this: [](https://www.glimesh.tv)
This will now allow anyone who clicks your image will be taken to that website!
Once you have added this, head to the bottom of the page and click update settings to save your changes.
