Getting Started

Set up your profile

A complete profile gets more followers, more reads, and more points.

Updated April 12, 2026

Your profile is your home base on WriteUpCafe. Readers who click your name see your bio, your writeups, your blogs, and your badges. A few minutes invested here pays off for every single piece of content you publish after.

The essentials

Head to Settings and fill these in:

  • Display name — how readers see you (your real name or pen name).
  • Avatar — a clear, friendly headshot or logo (square, 400×400 works well).
  • Bio — one or two sentences: what you write about, why readers should follow you.
  • Links — your personal site, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, or newsletter.
  • Location — helps with local discovery and topic recommendations.

Cover image and colors

Pro members can upload a cover image to the top of their profile and customize accent colors. This is one of the easiest Pro perks to take advantage of — see What Pro unlocks.

Connect your blog

If you run a blog elsewhere, submit it to our Blog Directory so it appears on your profile. Verified blog owners get a badge and can accept guest posts from the community.

Tip: A filled-out profile earns you complete_profile points automatically — one of the quickest ways to start climbing the points leaderboard.
