New: Author Profiles
Christoph Malcolm on June 18th, 2008Contributing users now have profile pages, in case there are people out there who would dare to learn more about them or — god forbid — contact them directly. The profiles are very basic, but they’re all we need, and if I’m lying you’ll just find authors putting better profiles in the website field.
The current usefulness of an author’s profile is sixfold:
1. Slightly larger version of their avatar.
2. Website link, if they have one.
3. @randomsalad.com email address providing an almost symbolic level of protection against spam, but very good for contacting them.
4. Freeform text block filled with whatever the author thinks is worth sharing.
5. The author’s twenty most recent posts.
6. The author’s ten most recent comments.
To see an author’s profile, just click on their name right under the title of any of their posts. This will be pretty uneventful until a few of our authors fill out their profiles, which they can do by going here.
Random Salad is full of things much less interesting than this. Whether you've come to this page by a link or by voodoo sex magic, pay a visit to the homescreen before you go.

Ha - good luck with that Christoph. Some of us (yes of course I mean me) are too lazy to write posts at a reasonable frequency, so filling in a profile is hardly going to be a priority is it? ;)
