By scrolling down to the bottom of your homepage, you will find a little plus sign beside "Add an Application." By clicking on this you will see all the awesome elements you can add on to your profile making it just a gaudy as mine :-)
Due to my occupation, the three applications I chose where "Events," "Blog Link" and "Creative Portfolio Display."
The Events application allows you to create and display events. This is great for any event that is open to the public. Not only is it another resource to get your message out but your connections can see all the events you post and it promotes conversation and engagement. Plus you can easily share your event on your wall, to groups, or individual connections with a simple click of a button making it a very efficient tool.
If you are a blogger the Blog Link is a must. You can display not only a feed from your personal blog but also receive feeds from your connection's blogs. Stay better informed of what's going on without leaving Linked In. Also give your connections and prospective connections the added convenience to read your posts from your profile.
Designers, the Creative Portfolio Display is a great addition to showcase your work. Include photos and videos of your work with descriptions on an easy to organize platform. You will have to register for a Behance account but it's free and intuitive. Based on some of the articles I've read, it's becoming the favorite site among graphic designers to display their work.
Happy editing!
