Patio

Patios are cool places to hang out. Even cooler when you can surround
yourself with cool things to look at. Available exclusively on the Web.

To start setting up your space, click “Patio” on the vertical navigation
bar.

You will see a default column For you that you can move or
remove. Toward the middle of the page, you will see a “+” symbol that will
always appear to the right of the last column added. Click the “+” symbol to
add a new column.

You can search for a specific column by typing in the field labeled
“Filter columns” or scroll the list and click the title of the one
you want to add to proceed.
