This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!

Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!

Since I just declined a group invitation again, a little clarification on the why behind that. I've been in a few groups a while ago. Followed an invitation, applied for a few others, &c.
I didn't like it.
First of all, my inbox was way too full most of the time. There were nice images among those, but the time it took to clean up was more than I was willing to invest contrary to the point of groups I haven't found the signal to noise ratio much different from other ways of finding images I like.
Then there is the point that I submit almost all my images under CC anyway. Anyone is free to include them in their group if they want to, no permission by me even required (though I think dA requires it anyway, although that's covered by Creative Commons). So if you want one of my pictures in your group just do so, but don't ask me to select. In my experience I have been a very poor judge of what other people consider a good picture and groups are ultimately run by not me.
In any case, I won't start with groups again. This may make it sound like an addiction, but it was more a nuisance. I won't consider joining any group again. This isn't for any elitist reason that I think my pictures are too bad for a particular group or that I consider myself above joining groups. I just didn't like the experience that came along with it.
