User page

A user page is a web-page that displays information about a user who has an account on the website that hosts the userpage. User pages have a variety of purposes, from displaying the subject's history of contributions to the site to housing blogs and other user created content. Almost all user pages, however, list basic information about the subject such as first and last name, account name, and email address. Most websites allow the user pages hosted on them to be customized, allowing for the user to add information about themselves, their friends, and their interests.

Basic Usage
User pages general list basic information about the author such as their username, first and/or last name, interests, occupation, or website URL. They often also allow users to post images, videos, and links related to themselves. Many websites also allow users to input additional information about themselves not included in registration, and some allow for the user to host a blog on their user page.

Additional Capabilities
Some websites allow for the user to not only post information already on the internet, but some websites also allow the user to host their own content on their user page. Users can often host photos, videos, and music on their webpages. They often also allow for the user to add a custom background to the webpage.
