I was going to post a picture in my profile but I have drawn a blank. How do I post a pcture there.

I thought I understood how to upload my photo that would show up in my posts but now I can't figure out how to do it.  Can anyone explain how to do this to me?  Thanks, Joyce

Hi, Joyce,

The photo that shows up in your profile is called an avatar, in tech-speak. It is very easy to upload one, as follows:

1. From somewhere in our Community section (Blogs, Forums, Photos), click on 'Sign In' at the top right of the page, and log in with your username and password.

2. In the top right corner of the page, you will now see your profile name and a link called 'Edit Profile'. Click on 'Edit Profile'.

3. On the profile that comes up, click on the 'Avatar' tab.

4. Make sure it says 'Avatars Enabled' and then use the 'Browse' button to locate the picture on your computer that you want to use as your avatar.

5. Click on 'Save' and your avatar should appear in your profile within a few minutes.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Greg, That helped me too. I finally got my picture on the site.

Thank you BB.  You can see your help worked.  I was using the update button instead of save.  Joyce

Thanks for the info!  This is really easy to use.

Don't forget, an avatar can be a picture of anything, it does not have to be you.  I have used picts of my grandchildren, my favorite embroidery designs and even landscapes, fruit bowls or wildlife.

Show us your other favorite things!!
