You must use proper JSON syntax, otherwise the website won't understand your information (and for that we will probably reject your pull request. Before submitting your file, use jslint to check for syntax error and misplaced quotes/commas.

After you've edited your information, you're ready to "commit your file" and push it to us. To do that, you'll have to explain your changes, like so:

Then click "Commit changes" and you're done. A request will be created to add your file to the project, and we'll answer it in a bit.

"How to Submit"'s FAQ

What do I use for the "picture" attribute?

We recommend using the path to your own Facebook profile picture, like so:

"picture": "https://graph.facebook.com/<idhere>/picture?width=400&height=400"

replacing <idhere> with your own facebook id. To find your facebook id, check out this website: findmyfbid.com.

Ideas

• Use history.pushState() to replace url for user's profile path when you click on their profile.
