Introduction
I have been onboarding friends since I came back fully to Steemit last week. And a good number of them, almost all are active, so questions keep on coming about how to do what. I have to explain the platform features and how to work around here. Just this afternoon, I got a question. One of the newbies is struggling to set up their blog page profile and put all the information that should appear on top of their page. So I decided to do this tutorial.
A note to our new friends
After you created your Steemit account, the top of your blog page will have a black background with basic elements on such as your followers, date you joined, the people you are following, etc. Your page will look like this image below:
But then, you want to customize your page so that it will display information about you, including your name and profile image. So this tutorial will show you how to add that personal touch to make your blog look unique and stand out.
Steps to setting up your complete profile
Step 1. Sign in to your blog using your posting key.
Step 2. Click Settings. (Check the illustration above)
Step 3. Click here to upload your profile image. (Check the illustration above)
Step 4. Click here to upload a cover image for your blog,
Step 5. This is where you will enter your full name or any names you want to be identified with.
Step 6. This is where you will type a brief bio about you. first-time visitors will use this info to know your niche.
Step 7. Type in your location here.
Step 8. This is where you will put your website address or your social media handles
Step 9. Click this button to save your information.
Congratulations, you have successfully updated your page. After few minutes, refresh your blog page to see the new changes take effect. Now your blog page looks nice and unique.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm new on steemit.
I couldn't find any option to change my profile settings (profile picture, cover image, display name, about, etc.) via my laptop. Is this something that needs to do via a mobile app? If yes, may I know what will be the recommended app to download on android?
Thank you!

Create a TRON account and claim rewards
Steemit will distribute extra TRX to you as rewards. This account is for receiving such rewards.
The system will automatically create a TRON account for you for free.
Do you agree to create a TRON account and download the PDF with your TRON public and private keys?

Hi @demi-mour the fields you mentioned are called preferences and are located below the fields this post refers to..you need to upload your photos in the "public profile settings" fields located above the preferences section.
I hope that i was able to help you with your issue

Hello, It has been 10 months since you wrote this post and 3 years since I open my Steemit account. I couldn't find my keys before. The first thing I wanted to do was update my profile but alas! There is a "Settings tab" but it doesn't show the fields for changing a picture or the brief bio...none of that. See image:
Do you know what may be going on? Any assistance will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Estoy leyendo esta guía que me parece genial, pero me encontré con un problemita que no logro solucionar.
Como nuevo en la plataforma y siguiendo las sugerencias de esta guía, intenté colocar mi imagen en el blog pero no logro conseguir el sitio donde se hace eso.
Voy a configuración y no me da la opción tal como la muestra la guía.
Por favor, le pido ayuda para superar este desafío y así poder publicar lo más rápido posible.
Gracias por su atención.
