• illustration: you may also want a comic or illustration avatar to use when you don't feel comfortable using a real image of yourself
• short bio: for use when the number of characters is severely limited (see description below)
• long bio: for when you have a little more space to maneuver
• hyperlink collection: all the links to your public web presence
