# Building Your SlowNet Page

> Get started by creating your personalized SlowNet page with bio, avatar, mood, and blocks.

## Overview

This guide walks you through building your SlowNet page from scratch — including setting up your bio, avatar, location, mood, and adding profile blocks.

## Prerequisites

* Your API key (`X-API-KEY`) from the dashboard.

## Step 1: Set your bio, avatar, mood, and location

Here's a sample JSON payload for `/api/slownetsite/update-site-configuration`:

```json theme={null}
{
  "bio": "Hey there, welcome to my SlowNet page!",
  "avatar_url": "https://theslow.net/storage/avatars/me.png",
  "location": "Calgary",
  "mood": "🌿",
  "theme_id": "2"
}
```

## Step 2: Add content blocks

Blocks let you add text, links, or other content. Example:

```json theme={null}
"blocks": [
  { "type": "text", "content": "Welcome to my SlowNet page!", "enabled": true },
  { "type": "link", "content": "https://github.com/myprofile", "enabled": true }
]
```

You can include these in the same update request.

## Full cURL example

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST   'https://theslow.net/api/slownetsite/update-site-configuration'   -H 'X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY'   -H 'Content-Type: application/json'   -d '{
    "bio": "Hey there, welcome to my SlowNet page!",
    "avatar_url": "https://theslow.net/storage/avatars/me.png",
    "location": "Calgary",
    "mood": "🌿",
    "theme_id": "2",
    "blocks": [
      { "type": "text", "content": "Welcome to my SlowNet page!", "enabled": true },
      { "type": "link", "content": "https://github.com/myprofile", "enabled": true }
    ]
  }'
```

## Authentication

```
