Updating Your AgentID Site Bio

Modified on Thu, 18 Apr, 2019 at 5:16 AM

To edit your AgentID Site bio, visit your AgentID Site admin panel, which you can access through the AgentID Site course card in your Paperless Agent Dashboard.

Click on "Site Settings" in the lefthand navigation bar of your AgentID Site admin panel, then select "User Profile."

When you have edited your bio to your liking, scroll down to the bottom and click Update Profile. Please allow up to 30 minutes for your new bio to appear on your AgentID Site.

Word Count on Your AgentID Site Bio

You'll notice that when you start writing in your bio that a word count appears. This is simply a suggestion, and you will be able to publish your bio even you have a negative number displaying.

However, because your bio appears next to your main photo, an extra-long bio might not look as nice as you'd like. So, if your bio is going to exceed the optimal word count, consider authoring a blog post instead. How to Post a Blog.

You can have a short version of your bio display on your AgentID Site main page, and then link to the lengthier version. This requires a small bit of code.

After you've entered the text of your marketing bio, create a space and enter in the following code. Note that there are two parts to this code you will need to edit: “http:// Internet URL goes here” and "Title the visitor sees."

<a href=“http:// Internet URL goes here”>Title the visitor sees.</a>

Edit the title first. This is what will display in your bio and be clickable. Try something like "Read the full bio here."

Next you'll want to get a link to your blog post and place it in the first section of the code. Make sure to remove the quotation marks. Once you've done that, you'll scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the big blue button that says "Update Profile."

This is what your completed profile will look like:

If your link is not clickable, you might need to check the code. Sometimes an extra end quotes mark and a period appear and mess up the code's functionality. Go back to your User Profile and simply remove the extra punctuation, then click on "Update Profile" again.

Your photo has now been updated and will no long be the big blue logo.
