FULL STORY ======================================================================

The job site and professional social networking platform LinkedIn has added a new feature that allows users to add a website link to their profiles.

Once this new feature rolls out, users whose profiles have Creator Mode enabled will be able to add a link that will appear at the top of their profiles beneath their user name and description and above their follower and connections.

Its worth noting that LinkedIn users that decide to disable Creator Mode will no longer have a website link show up in their profiles.

For those unfamiliar, the Microsoft-owned companys Creator Mode allows users to add hashtags to indicate the topics they post about the most and also
moves a users Featured and Activity sections to the top of their profiles so that they can more prominently display their content. The feature also
changes the Connect button to Follow to help creators on LinkedIn build a following. (Image credit: LinkedIn) Adding a link to your LinkedIn profile

the top of your profile you just need to click on the edit icon (depicted as

while the links anchor text can be used as a call-to-action . Keep in mind though that these links will likely be nofollow links.

Depending on the success of this feature, LinkedIn could decide to expand it to users whose profiles havent been set to Creator Mode.
