User blog comment:Dopp/Giving User Profiles Some Love/@comment-1399757-20110710222639

User profiles are definitely something I like. They help to maintain an identity and are just all around helpful for maintaining a community spirit.

The only form of encouragement that I could really think of is just telling people to be creative with their user-pages and to have fun developing them. For instance, I have sections of my user-page with stuff like "favorite quotes", "favorite music", games, movies, hobbies, etc. I even have a few pictures just to spruce it up a little. You can do a lot of stuff with a blank page, provided you know how to!
