Good question, Sean. Thanks for revisiting this tracker item.

I had another look at it. The problem with Profile is not blatant
anymore as the top navigation item is "Content". However, I still don't
know how to get from my edit profile to the profile view page. Could we
put a link on the edit profile page above the profile picture that
reads:

"Please go to your Profile page [link to it] to arrange the information
you wish to display to other users."

My issue with not having the Dashboard as link in the small navigation
bar that is hidden most of the time continues to be there as I still
need to know to click on the Mahara logo to get back to the dashboard.
Now I even have an additional item in the navigation, my name, if I am
not mistaken. Or has that been there all the time?

Title:
  Distinction between Name and Profile not clear

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I still have trouble clicking on the correct link and think and
  adjustment may be necessary.

  When I click on my name, I am taken to my profile page as others can
  see it.

  When I click on "Profile", I can edit my profile, but I would think
  that I could actually view it.

  Having the name and "Profile" right next to each other is not ideal, I
  think, because they are almost the same, but not quite.

  When I'm on my profile page (the view), I don't know how to get back
  to my dashboard -> Oh. I have to click on the Mahara logo.

  I like that we have "Settings" instead of the username in the top
  right because that already lessens confusion.

  What about the following:
  - Include a link "Home" in the navigation links before the others.
  - "Profile" (also in the tabs on the dashboard page etc.) links to the profile view.
  - And somewhere we need a link "Edit Profile Information" to get to all that stuff. It could go next to "Edit Content" (though then people might be confused to distinguish between adding profile info and dragging that info into a view).

  Any ideas?
