Very dumb question today. I'd like to share a photo of me with you all on my profile. But it didn't work. Since I am cyber-technically challenged, can anyone explain this in real real simple terms. I'm used to using a browser to search for pics but there doesn't seem to be the option. This will be my weekend task.
Have a great weekend and thanks.

I don't know how to do the picture either! I'll be anxious to see what response/answers you get!!

I can't help either - I had someone do it for me! I'm not real good at computers either - got my 1st one 8/2006, 2 months after my surgery - my nephew
took me to Best Buy, picked it out & set it up for me!

I use www.photobucket.com to download my pictures from my pc (the one's that I wish to share) - Photobucket it free ...... from there you can copy the URL to your profile ..... I know you can also use My SPace and Face Book - but I find photobucket the easiest and most user friendly.
- if you wish to post a pic in a forum ... simply click on (in photobucket) the IMG code window - this will auto. copy the image .... come back to the forum window where you wish to post your image and right click your mouse to paste your image ... you should have code that looks something like this ......

Of course, once close your post - you should then see your image.
Good luck!

;) And it's a great piccie of you as well. :)
Hi David and all,
Yes, correct... you need to have the pic posted on a website, such as MySpace, Photobucket, Frappr, etc.... then follow these steps:
Look at the pic posted on whichever website you posted. Hold your mouse over it and right click the mouse. The properties for the pic should show up. Highlight the entire link in the properties (make sure it shows: www.yourchosenwebsite.com/xxxxxxxx) and do "copy" command
Then, go to your profile here, the part (noted in left margin) for forum profile info
when that window shows, on the top, it gives you an option to "I have my own pic"... in that field, do a "paste" option...
Now, after you do that, scroll down to the bottom to "save changes"
If anyone has issues trying this out (ie: it doesn't work), just let me know :)

Thank you both. It sort of worked. I may have to work on that size thing but it worked. See that K. Even we can do it!

I know I can do it, I just have to find the time to figure it out -- it always takes me a while. I am VERY proud of the things I have done on my blog!!
:D

FYI, since the distortion thing comes up pretty often, the picture will be squished to a size of 75 x 75 - or a square, anyway. If you clip your photo to a square to start with, it won't get distorted.

Was taken from Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. :) You be right!

Thought it might have been Hyannis "hahbah" in the background - like your new picture.

This is one time that it is good to be square :) Thank you Phyl and Steve.
