Profile Make-Up
Initially each member's profile is equipped with several blocks that can be filled with information and items like basic information, photos, favourites list etc.
A profile will mainly consist of:
- Activity Feed
- Blocks which contain by the users recently added photos, songs and videos
- The users' comments on other content or profiles
- Events they're attending
- Which Groups they are a part off
- A block with friends the current user and the user they are viewing have in common
- Personal sections like Friends, Blogs, Photos, Polls, Quizzes, Favourites,...
To individualize a profile even more, users have the opportunity to merely change the theme of their site if they don't want the preset site theme.
Or they make use of the Advanced Design Tool which allows the user to vary the style of their profile without having to use CSS.
This tool enables them to attach images and change the background as well as font colours and sizes.

Favourites
Users can easily keep track of things they like on the site by adding them to their favourites list.
Usually each member's "Favourites" appear on their profile, but in their privacy settings users can set who is allowed to view their favourites list.
Either they specify groups with admission or they just keep it for them personally to ease access to certain pages or contents on your site.
Users can find their "Favourites" on the Footerbar and directly access them from there.
Following items can be added currently:

Activity Feeds
An Activity Feed keeps your users updated about what their community and friends have recently been up to.
On each user's profile and dashboard there will be an Activity Feed. While the profile only shows the user's acitivities and posts, the dashboard displays feeds from the site or just friends.
As network owner you can decide if Activity Feeds can be seen by everyone or just the person and their friends.
Furthermore the feeds can be marked as liked or unliked by other users as well as they can be commented on.
