Grid = what you're looking at now, 
Stream = Topdown like a list, canvas = freestyle)
  • Change the wallpaper (you can upload your own!)
  • Change the theme (premium users only!)
  • Add an icon (this is a way to show a little personality, whether it's a fun avatar, brand or school logo, or a profile image)
  • Turn Comments On/Off
  • Turn Author names for posts On/Off
  • Change the padlet's URL (easier for remembering & sharing)
