How To Add A Photo Or Custom Avatar To Your Steemit Profile.

in steemit •  7 years ago 

Thanks to my new, outspoken friend, @joe.sef I decided to make a super easy step by step on how to add your photo or avatar to your Steemit profile.

Before I tell you where to add the photo in Steemit, you will need a URL for the photo you want to use. The easiest and fastest way to get a URL for the photo is at IMGUR.com. Go there first make a free account. Then upload your first photo! Make sure you select to keep it a private photo before tapping the upload button -other wise you will be immediately shamed into a sad corner because IMGUR is full of mean, low iq children of the corn. Private photos are safe. See the little cloud symbol in the photo? That's the upload symbol. **Here is a direct link to get started with this step. ** Below is a photo for reference.
**https://m.imgur.com/upload Then scroll down for the next step. IMG_0501.PNGIMG_0502.PNG

Once you have your image uploaded to Imgur, open the image by clicking it. Now keep that tab open and come back to Steemit in a Seperate tab.

Click or tap on the square where a picture would be place it should bring up a list. The list pop up looks like this : IMG_0497.PNG choose the "settings" ^ it's shown in the above picture.
Once the settings menu opens up you should now see the section that says "profile picture" IMG_0494.PNG IMG_0498.PNG

**now go back to the other tab and copy the URL of the image you uploaded previously. In my example you can see the URL I was pasting in, and yours will be different than mine. You can find the URL by opening the photo in Imgur and the URL is either beside it in a little box and if it's mobile you will see the share option Just copy that URL and paste it into the Steemit profile picture box. You know. The one open in your other tab. And save ! The next photos show the way to find the image URL in iPhone ,top right of the photo.
