THE SAVE BUTTON IS YOUR FRIEND. Whenever you make a change to ANY information in your profile, you must remember to click save to actually store your changes. If you do not hit save, the changes that appear to have been made will revert when you go and view the public view of your profile.
The cancel button will close the editor and cancel any changes you have made since your last save.
Profile Blurb
The text editor to the right of your profile picture allows you to type up a short blurb. This section could be used to list your room numbers, class schedule, or professional information about yourself. The blurb should NOT contain links, homework listings, time sensitive information, classroom details, etc. Use an ISD Site Editor site for information like that and link the site to your profile.
