If you have a LinkedIn account, you’ll probably see my LinkedIn profile. (Feel free to add me.) It’s an easy URl to remember however.

Did you know that LinkedIn has a feature to pick your own custom domain? Try this link now:

http://www.linkedin.com/in/siever

It takes you to the same place, but it’s much easier to remember. Here’s how you can give your LinkedIn profile a custom URL, too:

1. Go to Profile, then click on Edit Profile.
