In other words, for items #4 and #5 above, we want to explain or imply
the relationship between Content & Pages. But if we make the explanation
too long, the user's eyes will glaze over and they won't read it. But if
we make the explanation too brief, the user won't get the concept, and
they won't understand what's going on.

And there's also the fact that, well, in general, the idea that your
Content won't be visible to anybody until you add it to a Page, that's
sort of a basic thing in Mahara. We might as well put that at the top of
every Content page, if we're going to put it on the user profile page.

Title:
  Make links to Profile Page, Profile Info, Profile Picture, and Account
  Settings clearer

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  New

Bug description:
  I've identified this as a source of frustration amongst new users.
  Information about yourself is split amongst four different Mahara
  pages:

  1. The Profile Page: This is the View that other users see when they
  click on your name, customisable with blocks like any other View
  (although Profile Views have some custom code relating to them). It's
  accessible by clicking on your own name in the title bar, or in the
  profile side block, or from the Portfolio->Pages page

  2. Profile Info: This is the list of information about you, which can
  then be displayed in an "About Me" block. It's accessible via
  Content->Profile

  3. Profile Picture: This is your user icon. It's accessible by
  clicking on your user icon on the Content->Profile page, or by going
  to "Content->Profile pictures".

  4. Account Settings: These are the settings relating to your account,
  like your password. This is accessible by clicking on the "Settings"
  link in the title bar

  Mike Kelly shared with us a screenshot of his improved profile
  sideblock which clarifies a lot of this by just providing explicit
  links to all of them. I think implementing that would be a great
  start.
