You'll want to personalize your home page. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of the time you're participating in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Community.

As you and others use The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Community, the amount of content there will grow. You'll develop a preference for discussions in certain areas and you'll learn that some areas just rarely have anything you need.

1. Go the home page and click the Your View tab to begin designing your personalized view.
   
2. Click the personalize link to jump into design mode.
   

   Notice how the page in design mode is divided into a top part and larger bottom part. In the box near the top of the page is a list of widgets. Most widgets are special views on content and a few provide other ways to add other things, such as notes and links to websites you like on the web. Learn more about widgets, as well as what widgets are available to you.

3. Beneath the list of widgets is a design already started for you. This design is an arrangement of widgets for you to change by rearranging it, removing widgets, and adding some you'd rather have.
4. Notice the widgets you don't want and remove them by clicking their Remove button.
   
   
5. Hover over the list of widgets at the top of the page and notice that each has a description next to the Cancel and Save buttons.
   
   
6. Next, grab the widgets you want, drag them onto your design...
   
7. ...then drop them where you want them.
   
   
8. Click the widget's Edit link to edit its properties.
   
   This is where you fine tune the widget so that it shows you what you want.
   
9. Click Save Properties to save your changes.
   
   Now you can see your changes.
   
10. When you've got the widgets you want in the design, click Choose a layout for ways to set up the columns on the page. Notice that the top of the page now displays possible layout arrangements you can use. Click each one to see how your personalized page looks. As you consider layouts, you can drag your widgets from column to column by grabbing the widget's name.
    
11. Once you've got your design where you want it, click Publish Layout. As you use The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Community, remember that you can come back to design mode by clicking the Personalize link.
