Hello all, I just read the intro post by #lalithamonisha, aka BorneanChild. I just became a member yesterday and must admit I've been spending the last 24 hours trying to figure out how, where, if - I fit in. It's a little daunting but taking a cue from Lalitha, I just decided to dive in. I don't have much of a story to tell at this point, but I do have a question. I've been trying to post a photo to my settings...and thought I had successfully done so, but evidently I have failed. I'm used to posting jpegs, not urls. Settings accepted the url I configured, but I do not see it in my profile. Tips are appreciated.
Thanks for welcoming me into this brave, albeit bizarro new world. As a newbie (minnow?) I suppose this is a fairly common sentiment. I hope to be up to speed with most of you sooner rather than later.
Hi @triceratops! Welcome to Steemit! I'm new to the community too - and trust me, took me a while to get my photos up as well. What I did was instead of using the 'Editor' to insert an image, I switched the post to 'HTML' - with HTML, you can simply paste/upload your photo from your device, instead of having to upload it unto a 3rd party image site.
Btw, you can tag someone in the community with an alias @ instead of a hashtag :) Hope this helps!

Thanks @lalithamonisha. We need to stick together! I'm not so concerned about inserting images into posts. I can't figure out how to insert my image into settings. I've tried two different third party converters but no luck. Thanks for your help though. Stay in touch!
