A simple way to make your profile more appealing is by adding more “profile fields” using text formatting in the Bio section. Use **bold** to create titles, and optionally use *italic* for the items. This way you can add any profile field you can possibly think of, such as music, books, relationship, and so on.

You can even use diaspora* as a notebook, to jot down things you’ll need to remember later, perhaps even notes for a presentation you’re giving. To do this, all you need to do is to create an aspect and <strong>add no one to it</strong>! That’s right, an empty aspect. What’s the point of this? Well, it means you can share things with this aspect, and no one will be able to see them. That means that this aspect can act as your private notebook. It can be a useful way of moving text or photos between one computer and another, and of keeping your notes and photos safe for whenever you log in to diaspora*.

For å gjøre dette, er alt som behøves at du oppretter et aspekt og å unngå å legge noen til i det! Ganske riktig, et tomt aspekt. Hva skal være poenget med dette? Vel, det betyr at du kan dele ting med dette aspektet, og ingen vil kunne se de. Det betyr at dette aspektet kan fungere som din private skrivebok. Det kan være en nyttig måte å flytte tekst eller bilder mellom en datamaskin og en annen på, og for å bevare notatene og bildene dine trygge frem til det måtte passe å logge deg på diaspora*. -
