There are many things you can do with your personal site, including
create lists and libraries, modify how different pages look, and change
the way the site itself looks.
Learn Your Way Around a Personal Site
As
explained earlier in this chapter, the My Content link at the top of
the page opens your personal site, which you control and which has
content that you uploaded and created. Other users can browse your
site, but they can’t see all the content there unless you allow them to
do so. However, by default you already have two different document libraries
configured with different permissions: one for personal documents,
which only you can see, and one for shared documents, which other users
can read as well. In this page you can create new content, such as new
pages, new sites (for example, a blog), new document libraries, new
lists, and so on.
Upload a Document to Your Personal Site
To upload a document to your
personal site, first open the personal site by clicking the My Content
tab in the top navigation bar.
When your site is open, you
need to choose where to upload the document. By default, personal sites
have two document libraries: a personal one, where only you can see the
documents you upload, and a shared one, where documents you upload can
be viewed by other users in your company. To select which document
library you want to upload to, simply click the Add Document link under
one of the document libraries web parts in the page (either Shared
Documents if you want other people to have access to the file, or
Personal Documents if you want to keep the file private), as shown in this Figure. A dialog appears, allowing you to choose the file you want to upload, as shown in Figure 15.
