VKontakte personal page settings

VKontakte has been created.
Let's get down to setting up the VKontakte page... Let's note an important point that there are two types of VKontakte pages: a personal page and a public page. The work of VKontakte begins with setting up a personal page.
, thanks to which each user can display or hide this or that information, or allow access to it to a certain circle of visitors to his page.
To complete the settings, you must log into your account by entering your username and password.

The screenshot shows how the page looks after registration. To make it look more attractive, you need to add a personal photo, which will further represent the user and serve as him. avatar... In order to add a photo, press “Add photo” (section A). After clicking, a window will open asking you to select and upload an image (1). Then click "Select file" - a computer explorer will open, allowing you to find and download the required image (2).

After loading the selected image, the thumbnail settings window opens. The thumbnail will represent the identity of the account owner throughout the VKontakte network, or rather, will be used in news, personal messages and comments. Moving the corners of the image, we achieve the desired size.

After adjusting the image and thumbnail, first of all, we will make the settings from the item “ My settings», Which is located in the vertical panel on the left (section B). This section is intended to be of a more personal nature. Here the owner can change the password, contact information, and also decides who and what material to allow access to, and who is even blacklisted.

In the "General" section

the opportunity to configure the following parameters is provided:

1. In "Additional services" you can select those tabs that will be displayed in the vertical panel on the left (section B). All bookmarks marked with checkboxes will be displayed in this area.

2. In "Change Password" you can change the existing password. This procedure is recommended to be done periodically, in order to avoid hacking of the account by ill-wishers.

3. In the next paragraph, you can change your email.

4. In "Your phone number" you can change the phone previously linked to your account.

5. And in the last paragraph of this section there is an opportunity to give a more meaningful meaning to the link to your page. When registering, each account is assigned a personal identifier, it has a numbered form. At this point, the digital number can be changed to some name that represents the identity of the owner.
Come up with a name in advance, it is entered in Latin letters. If the name is available, the message "Borrow address ..." and your name will appear. We save the changes. After the changes, a link with your new name will be displayed in the browser address bar.

In the section "Privacy"

you can mark the categories of visitors who will be provided with this or that information on the page. This section is the most private and therefore everyone must decide for himself: who he allows access, and whom he restricts.

In the "Alerts" section

select which notifications and by what means the user wants to receive.

In the section "Black List"

In the section "Mobile services"

you can find out the conditions and choose operators that provide access to VKontakte from mobile devices.

In the section "Balance"

So, we have executed " My settings"(Private settings). We'll talk about more general page settings in the next article.
