FAQ:  What is a personal page? 
Personal pages are custom portal pages that you create, name, and populate with content that you choose. As you create and save them, they appear within the "My Services" section of the left-hand navigation.
While the content of the portal's "Home" page and Community pages is predetermined and constant, personal pages are customizable to serve unique needs or interests that you have. Personalization options allow you to choose the gears that will determine the content of your personal pages.
