Now you can create and update your own profile (finally! Woohoo!) [http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/people/](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/people/) If you are one of the +/- 250 people who already have a profile, you will need to transfer your profile over to the new system. You can find your old profile at [http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/profiles](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/profiles) and copy the info into the form when you edit your new profile. ---

The first check to the left means that there is a picture of that person. I had thought the check to the right meant they had a homepage, but seeing as Demo doesn’t have one, I’m not sure anymore. ---

I understand that you post with that name… but there isn’t any login registered with that name… so is there a chance you typed something else? Try registering again… it seems your registration didn’t go through. ---
