Purpose

You can use your Library member's page to say a liitle more about yourself than the fields on your profile allow.
You can include links to other sites -- for example if you have scripts or other REBOL resources that are not in the Library.
The Library Team reserve the right to unpublish your page if it contains anything not in keeping with the spirit of the library: spam, abusive language, etc. The page will still be visible by you, but not by other users of the Library.

How to create or update

Click the Personal page link on the Member's lounge page (you will need to be logged on).

Page statistics

If you are looking at your own page, you will see some statistics:

Viewed: nnn:mmm -- How many times your page has been viewed. nnn is anonymous (ie not logged on) views of your page. Loads of these are probably bots and spiders. mmm is other members' views of your page (your own viewing isn't counted)
last updated -- when you last changed the page

Mark-up codes

You can mark up your page using Make-doc-pro or eTexts. You can get help for these by clicking their name on Update Library member's page page.

Useful mark-up

Whichever mark-up language you use, you can also use some pseudo-variables to save having to retype information available elsewhere:

##user-name## -- your Library member's name (eg jackreb)
##name## -- your name from your profile (eg Jack the Reboller)
##home## -- a clickable link to the home page in your profile
##bio## -- the Say something about yourself field from your profile
##scripts## -- becomes a clickable link to the list of your scripts in the Library
##favorites## -- becomes a clickable link to your favorites page
##public-contact## and ##library-member-contact## -- whether users can send you emails. see separate heading below

Example

   My name is ##name##. Here's a brief note about myself: ##bio##.
   To visit my personal home page, please click: ##home##.
   To see the bookmarks I've made of interesting
   things, please click: ##favorites##.

Contacts

If you want other people to be able to contact you, you can include a contact form on your Library member's page. There are two pseudo-variables for this -- use one or the other of them:

##public-contact##

Any person viewing your personal page will see the contact form, and can use it to send you an email

##library-member-contact##

The form is only visible when a user is logged on. Non-logged on users cannot send you emails.

Neither of the above

The form will never appear, and no one can send you emails

Example

   My name is ##name##. Here's a brief note about myself: ##bio##.
   ##library-member-contact##
   My scripts are listed here: ##scripts##

In this example, a contact form appears only when a user is logged on
