AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) Help

Longer Profile: If you know HTML, you can edit a file called info.htm that's located in C:\WINDOWS\aim95\yourscreenname\
Edit the HTML in the file using anything including Notepad (make sure you have it set to look for all files not just .txt when opening info.htm), it allows for a little bit more, if you put too much it just will not show up, font tags, etc... count against you too so limit them. For ex. dont do this:

<font size=2>Hello</font>
<p>
<font size=2>My Friend</font>

Do:

<font size=2>Hello
<p>
My friend</font>

Once you are done save it and restart AIM, sometimes the profile does get cut off, but usually does not, by using the above guidelines it saves you some space for more text, if you are still short you can always use external services such as:

MyBuddyInfo lets you sign up for a free extended profile. Fill out a few fields about yourself and the site will generate some HTML you can cut and paste into your AIM profile.

SubProfile is the most popular free AIM profile service out there. Sign up to make polls, quizzes, a journal, and more for free.
