Re: help
Go to your "control panel" and find the section for "avatar" (that's what the little photo that appears beside our user names is called).
AFAIK, it needs to be a "small" photo. I uploaded my photo to Photobucket, used their "edit" function to reduce the size to the smallest available, then copied the "direct" link (I think, but not sure) into the "Avatar" section on the control panel, and you can see by my username how that worked out (need a better photo, for sure!!).
Cheers, and good luck. It was hard for me to figure out, too.
