Customize your avatar, banner, bio, and social links
Your profile settings control how your portfolio looks to visitors. A well-crafted profile makes a strong first impression and helps people understand who you are and what content you curate.
Your profile photo appears on your portfolio page and anywhere your name shows up on Sports Index.

The banner is displayed at a wide aspect ratio. Images that are too tall will be cropped from the center. For best results, use a landscape-oriented image and keep important details toward the center of the frame.
Tips for a great banner:
Stadium or court photos work well and immediately signal a sports focus.
Keep text minimal — it may get cut off on smaller screens.
High-contrast images look better against the dark theme of the platform.
Avoid very bright or all-white images, as they can clash with the site design.
Bio
A short description that appears below your name on your portfolio page.

Use your bio to tell visitors what kind of content you curate, which sports or teams you focus on, and what makes your perspective unique. Keep it concise — a sentence or two is often enough.
Social links
Connect your other profiles so visitors can find you across platforms. Sports Index supports links to the following:
X (Twitter)
Instagram
YouTube
TikTok
Substack
Each link appears as a recognizable icon on your portfolio page. Just paste the full URL to your profile on each platform.
You do not need to fill in every social link. Only add the platforms where you are actively posting — empty links are hidden automatically.
After editing any field, save your changes using the button at the bottom of the settings page. Updates appear on your portfolio immediately — there is no delay or review process.
Banner and avatar uploads are permanent once saved. If you want to revert, you will need to upload the previous image again.
