Editing a profile on the Knowledge Network is even easier than creating your profile, if you can believe that. To edit your profile, just follow these steps:

• Sign in to the Knowledge Network. Then click the "Edit Your Profile" button. From there you will see a series of tabs, which will look like this: 

 

• About You. In the “About You” section, you can change or add a profile picture and add basic personal information, such as language proficiency, and basic professional information, such as where you work. The following link will provide you with more in-depth information about this section: http://icma.org/en/icma/knowledge_network/help/profile/about_you.
• Contact (Work). This section allows you to add any contact information you would like others to have access to, such as a Twitter username, e-mail address, website, and mailing address.
• Contact (Personal). This section allows you to add any additional contact information you would like to post, such as a personal e-mail address, home address, birthday, and spouse or partner. Additional information about both the work and personal contact sections may be found at http://icma.org/en/icma/knowledge_network/help/profile/contact_information.
• Education: This section allows you to add information about your work history and education, such as the institute at which you received your degree(s) as well as its location.

We will be sharing more in-depth information about blog posts and creating content later in this series.
