Hey guys! Michael here, So I just Treehouse a couple of days ago and as of yet. I love it! I have been in internet marketing for two years now and everything is in the up and up.
The website is still pretty basic. Which is neat =] Its not to much (so it looks spammy) and its not to less (where it looks like it is from 1990). One thing that would be really cool would be a profile customization page. For example my page is http://teamtreehouse.com/michaelfied
- Change avatar
- Put on there - How much time we have spent on Treehouse, how many times we have logged in.
- Customize the background - Either pick from premade templates or an option to upload your own. (Must be approved first)
If you guys have any other ideas I would love to hear them!

It's already possible to change your avatar. At least when you are using gravatar.com, as far as I know.
I must say I like the basic layout of the profile as it is, so I don't know how I'm feeling about the customization idea. Especially when you can change the colors or background, I think this might be too disrupting to the overall look of the treehouse-site.
BUT I was thinking about some changes to the profile page, too. I would love a feature where you can link not only to some social sites but to websites or projects you've worked on.

A good site to link to would be codepen.io as we can already link to github & dribble. That covers most of the bases of a new project, you could show off your visual design, CSS, ruby on rails skills.

We love all of your suggestions, so thank you!
