Control How You Present Yourself, As A Follower

Many bloggers, who Follow a large variety of blogs, notice discrepancies in their Following icons and / or profile names, displayed on the different Followed blogs. We see questions like

I updated my Following picture last week, but several blogs still show the old picture.

and

How do I show myself, using a different name, on different blogs?

in various discussions in Blogger Help Forum: How Do I?.

Following offers many options, as you Follow various blogs. Besides choosing what account host you wish to use, you can select what profile to use, to provide your Follower persona. The profile selections do not correspond, on a one to one basis, with the account host choices. You can have a profile, hosted by

• Following (Default)
• Blogger
• Google
• Orkut
• Netlog
• Plaxo
• Twitter

Each different profile can show a different combination of picture, name, "About me", "Links", and / or "Sites I've joined" features. You can change your profile selection for each site from the "Site Settings" wizard. Once you select a profile, you'll see the current contents of that profile - and you'll have a link to the profile editor, as provided by the profile host, so you can make the appropriate changes.
