that somebody is
really creating the
profile and not
some automated
program.

will get this
screen. Then you
can click “Almost
Done”.
Then you can skip
the next 2 slides.
Otherwise, go thru
the next 2 slides.

check that
somebody is really
creating the profile
and not some
automated program.
Just follow the
instructions on what
it is asking you to

the squares with
street signs. And …..

selected “Babies”.
Also, I selected
“Travel” with sub-

The oval shapes
on top are being
filled-up with your
selection. So does
the “Select” bar, is
slowly filling-up.

are a lot more
choices if you
scroll down.

I like “Sports”, I
will select that.
