Too often I see well crafted LinkedIn profiles that have a section that looks like this:
Websites
I think the problem is that the form on LinkedIn where you can edit this isn't very intuitive to a lot of people (myself included, I discovered this after some experimentation).
To customize your website labels so that they say something other than "My Website" or "My Portfolio" or one of the other system defaults, do the following:
- Log in, and choose Profile from the left-hand navigation, then make sure you're on the Edit Profile tab
- Click Edit next to one of your "My Website" labels (it doesn't matter which one, they all go to the same edit screen)
- Next to each text input box to put your website link, is a drop down box where you can choose things like "My Website" or "My Company". In this box is a choice called "Other..." Select that.
- Now a new text input box will appear and you can label it whatever you want. What you enter here will replace the system's default website label in your profile!
- Click Save Changes.
