I wrote a positive recommendation for an individual and unfortunately, that person has done terrible for me since. I would hate to have my name attached to a positive recommendation that may hurt someone. Does anyone know how to remove a recommendation that you gave to someone?

Print to pdf is a feature of the LinkedIn website. It prints without graphics making it smaller file size. Nevermind having to buddy up to a Mac user.

(It's a native function of Mac OS X.) That would save you the agony of screenshots, but you'd still have to find a place to upload the file.

I thought about doing screenshots, but for one thing, given that this profile is SIX screens long (as many are), I felt it was impractical. Furthermore, I also realized that capturing the screenshots, saving them, cropping them, uploading them, formatting them, etc., would add a significant amount to the time it takes me to do each of these posts. I'm already making a big commitment doing this as a free public service, and I've already stepped it up to weekly instead of monthly to meet the demand. I'm not sure I'm prepared to add that much more time for the incremental benefit. I'll give it a try on the next one, though, and see just exactly how much extra time it takes. Regarding the author (that's me) replying to blog comments, I reply most of the time, especially if there's a question. Why do you ask? Is there a comment you left previously that I didn't reply to?

Unless you're already connected to this fellow, you can't see his profile. Also, does the author ever reply to comments in his blog? Aren’t there any screenshots?

Also, does the author ever reply to comments in his blog?

A lot of college students have what we refer to as a "double major". When I first started out at Rice University, I was a double major in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I would still only list that as a single education entry. Remember, all the searches on LinkedIn are "contains" searches, not exact matches, so it really doesn't matter from a searchability standpoint if they're combined or separate, and they're much more readable combined. Same thing here as with your title at nuba. Glad you found it helpful -- let me know when you've made the updates -- I'd love to come see the "after".

I think it's really amazing :) Thanks a lot for seeing my profile and tell me what you think I can improve and how to do it. I didnot answer before because I've been very busy but thanks a lot. By the way, Chris ,thanks also a lot for your comment about Technologies. I will definitely change some things in my profile!!! BTW, just one thing about my studies. I study to very similar careers together at the same university in the same time. I mean, it's something strange I guess, but it's that way :) Scott,
