Customizing, re-ordering, and removing modules

To begin customizing the module content on your userpages, simply click the “customize” button above in the network bar.

If you are not logged in, you will not see the “customize” button, so make sure you are logged into your Artician account. If you do not yet have an account, you can Sign up Free. Once you are at the customization center, select the “Modules” tab.

Choose a section to customize: Profile, Blog, or Portfolio… By default you will start out on the profile userpage.

To control the order of your modules, simply cut and paste the module code in your preferred order. They will be displayed in the order they are saved. To remove a module, simply delete it from the textarea. You can also add your own divs and other HTML elements to the textarea. Be creative, create new sections and columns to group specific modules like shown below…

The only un-removable module is the [mod:adblock], this feature is available to subscribers only.

You can re-order, but CANNOT remove this module. Well, you can try ;)

On the left side of the Module section you will see a list of available modules. Simply click on the blue list items to copy the module code to your clipboard - then you can paste wherever you are comfortable. Click the options button next to a module to see any available options or settings for that particular content.
