I’ve been seeing a lot of LinkedIn the last few weeks. The reason for that will be in a post in the near future. If you have a LinkedIn profile, you’ve probably noticed the “Public Profile” url on it. This url links directly to your profile. Every profile has one and the default link is hard to remember: it consists of your name and additional data. You can change that link yourself and it’s real easy. The steps are below.

Log on to LinkedIn and select Edit Profile from the Profile top menu. You’ll find the Public Profile url in the content box, which starts with your name and headline. Click the Edit link, which is found near the value of your Public Profile. A page will open which allows you change the visibility of specific content on your public profile. The option to change your public profile url is below a box named Customize Your Public Profile. You’re welcome.
