oooooooooh another Bailey? and a shihpoo?? Surprised

well, then by all means... I need to be the one to help you! hehe....

What you are trying to post is called an AVATAR. So first: You will need to have a .jpg (or similar) picture that is sized 80x80 pixels. Then go to your PROFILE and at the bottom is the AVATAR instructions. I found it easiest to post ("upload") the picture to another site and then just refer to the exact URL/location. You will do this in the AVATAR section of your profile under "link to offsite avatar." Be careful that you use a site that doesn't automatically post the picture to their site specs... cuz remember it has to be 80x80 pixels.....

I don't know how much you know about the internet and posting pics, so I thought we could start here.... let us know if you need more help.

that's okay... we can do this in baby steps...

When you say you have pics on "HERE" are you referring to your computer (hard drive) or on a website?

also, do you have a picture editing software that allows you to change the size of a picture?
