using the API to build my own Update Profile page

Hi,

I need to do things that the Constant Contact, in its current state, cannot do. What I want to do seems pretty simple.

1. I want to show a page with paragraphs, bullet points, images, etc.
2. I want people to be able to manage their subscriptions and their profile using a human-readable list name instead of the internal names we use.
3. I want to separate English from French in a useful manner—either two separate pages or a well laid out single page with whitespace instead of a single paragraph.

Can I use the API to do this? If so, how does that work?

This seems to be a problem similar to the one in this thread:

https://community.constantcontact.com/t5/API-Developer-Support/Has-ANYONE-found-a-workaround-for-the-update-profile-problem/m-p/388650#M13011

If that's the case, please let me know and I'll just abandon my attempts now.

Thanks,

L
