add info on how to create a user profile

New page

When you first sign on to the wiki, you'll see that your name at the very top of the page is linked to in red. It's red because you don't have a user profile set up yet.

To create a user profile, click on the red link and then select "edit this page," just as you would for any other wiki page.

We strongly encourage that you limit your profile to a single page.

Ideas for things you can put in your profile if you want to:
*A link to your email address. The source code for that looks like: [mailto://your@address.com your@address.com]
*A link to your glitch user profile. See the [[Help:Links]] article for how to do that.
*A description of what you like to do in-game
*A description of what kind of edits you enjoy making to the wiki

+Whilst Glitch is in private Alpha, we only allow those who have received an invite to test the game, to make an account on here (the Glitch Strategy Wiki).
-To create a user profile:
+After creating an account here, make sure you are signed on to the wiki. On every page, you'll see your name in the top-right of the page, linked to in red. It's red because you don't have a '''user profile''' set up yet. A 'user profile' is like your bio - your profile on the site, viewable to others.
-You can put lots more in your profile page if you want to, including:
+<code>*Glitch user profile for [http:&#47;&#47;alpha.glitch.com/profiles/Pxxxxxxxxxx/ Your Glitch username]</code>
 *A picture of your avatar:
-:*Drag the picture of your avatar from the Alpha home page onto your desktop

-:*Use the "Upload file" link in the left sidebar to upload it
+:*Then, use the "Upload file" link in the left sidebar to upload it (the file name has to be the same as the file name on your computer)
-:*Use code like this to put it on your user profile: <code>&#91;&#91;File:xxxxxxxx.png|link=http:&#47;&#47;alpha.glitch.com/profiles/Pxxxxxxxxxx&#47;&#93;&#93;</code>
+:*And then copy/paste this sample code onto your user profile, and paste the file name of the picture into the code (instead of the 'xxx') and URL into it: <code>&#91;&#91;File:xxxxxxxx.png|link=http:&#47;&#47;alpha.glitch.com/profiles/Pxxxxxxxxxx&#47;&#93;&#93;</code>
 *A link to your email address. The source code for that looks like: <code>&#91;mailto&#58;&#47;&#47;your&#64;address.com your@address.com&#93;</code>
 *A link to your glitch auctions page. See the [[Help:Links]] article for more information on formating links.
