#HowTo set up your #x-stream and make it look #cool

Before you go out into the wild, dress up a bit.

1.) Open the "Settings", upper right corner of the page, the little gear next to your username.

2.) In the settings, look at the box "x-stream post settings". Please unmark "achievement gained" and "show achievement posts" at least, since these things will #spam your friend's streams.

3.) Now look at "Account Details". Click on the "Edit" buttons to change entries. Having a nice avatar pic is a must on every community site. So add one. Ready? Cool

4.) Now go on and create a nice "x-stream cover" for your page. Make a pic that's 690px wide and 170px in height, but not heavier than 600kb. People will love you for doing this work.

5.) You can also change the "Color Scheme" for your page. Just try it out.

6.) Now we are coming to the fun part, the "Public Settings"! If you don't want to set these things up, please shut them off. Nothing looks more stupid than an empty default box on your front page

Start with the "Personal Information". It's really easy going. Here you can also hide information like your age and gender. Very nice.

7.) If you want, write a "About me" text, so people can easier decide to fall in love with you.

And again, simply shut off boxes you don't need or want to show on your profile.

8.) Finally, switch off everything you don't want to get notified about in the "Display Information" box. I recommend to let it all activated, since it will make you receive more notifications which leaves you with a good feeling It's also easier to reply on comments, likes and friend requests.

9.) Don't forget to hit the "Save" button as often as you can

10.) And don't click the "Close Account" button by mistake, since it will close your account. If you want to log out, use the Logout link that's next to your avatar
