Patrick, one of The Backscratchers co-founders, is a swell fella. So swell in fact that he didn’t winge or whine when I gave him the task of writing, recording and vocalising this little 1:30 intro video to The Backscratchers in a single evening. How much could he cram in into those 1:30 seconds? Well, you’ll just have to see in the video above. Patrick, I owe you a trip to the pub.
In addition to everything he mentions in the video, however, there are some cool new features and tweaks that we’ve released that you might want to check out! First up, you now have the ability to change the order that portfolios appear on your Portfolio page as well as the ability to choose the top 3 portfolio folders that appear on your Profile page. Simply head to your main Portfolio page and drag and drop the boxes into your preferred order. The first three portfolios will be the three that appear on your Profile.
Another new feature that we’ve added is the ability to choose the main skill associated with you. This skill will be the main one that shows up on your user snapshot on the User Search page (as in the photo above), but will also soon be added into our fancy schmancy matching algorithm that helps determine the best user match for each project. Make sure you choose one!
To set your main skill, just click on “Edit Profile” from your Dashboard or Profile page, click on the tab that says “Skills & Resources” and simply choose your desired skill in the “What would you like to show up as your main skill?” section.
