+            Once you have registered an <i>account</i> at the matrix you have also created a <i>profile</i> and a <i>channel</i>. 
+        </dd>
+    <dt>Account</dt>
+        <dd>
+            You have <i>one</i> account. This consists of your email account and your password. With your account you access your 
+            profile and your channel.<i>Think of your account as the way you authenticate at one Hubzilla site. It lets you 
+            do things, such as creating profiles and channels with which you can connect to other people.</i>
+        </dd>
+    <dt>Profile</dt>
+        <dd>
+            You have surely registered with some other internet services, such as forums or online communities. For all of them 
+            you provided some information about yourself, such as date of birth, country, age and the likes. Unlike other 
+            services Hubzilla offers you the advantage of creating 
+            <i>many more profiles</i>. That way you are able to distinguish between profiles targeted specially at everyone 
+            (your public profile), your work mates, your family and your partner.<i>Think of your profile as the basic 
+            information about yourself you tell other people.</i>
+        </dd>
+    <dt>Channel</dt>
+        <dd>
+            During the registration you created your first <i>channel</i>. Yes, besides several profiles you are able to have 
+            several channels. This might be a bit confusing in the beginning, but let's clear things up. You already have 
+            created one channel. You can use this one for the public, to communicate with people about every day life. But 
+            perhaps you are an avid book reader and many people are bored by that. So  you open a <i>second channel</i> just 
+            for the book lovers, where you all can talk about books as much as you like. Obviously this is a new stream of 
+            posts, with a new profile (... or new profile<i>s</i> ...) and completely different contacts. Some connections 
+            might exist in both channels, but there will be some that are exclusive to only one of both. You yourself just 
+            switch between both of them just like you would in real life switch when talking to people you meet on the street 
+            or people you meet specially to talk about books. You can even connect to yourself, or better: to your other 
+            channel. :)<i>Think of a channel as different spaces dedicated to different topics where you meet with different 
+            people.</i>
