Move Your Profile

On our family site and on this site, I wanted to move the "About Me" profile to the bottom of the page, rather than having it at the top of the site. This helps make the site look less like a blog.

Turns out that changing this is really easy. Again, my friend Jason Hill provided his expertise.

Moving Your About Me Profile
1. Find the text comment string that reads as follows:

<!-- Begin #profile-container -->

2. This portion of code (beginning with this comment and ending with another that reads <!-- End #profile -->) is the About Me Profile that we will be moving.
3. Cut that whole chunk (which may only be a few lines and most of it comments). You will copy it later in the code.
4. Find the following code:

</div></div></div>
<!-- End .box -->

5. Paste that profile code (see step #3 above) below this code. The exact reference in your template might be different, but in general it is below the references to Links, Previous Posts, and Archives.
6. Save changes and republish blog to see changes. That will move the Profile (the green box in our template) and put it beneath the Links and Archive sections.

Note: The word "profile" is reference several times in the Template, most of them in the Style area. Do not move this code.

Yep, and there's no rule that says you even have to have one. If you want you can delete your profile section altogether.
