Newbie needing assistance

in technical •  7 years ago 

I have to admit I've never been really great with technology, in terms of setting things up. My steemit account was set up by my husband, my e-mail addresses for about a decade and a half have been set up by him as well, and before him it was my older sister that set them up for me, so yeah I think you get the jist of it. I have an idea as to how to have a profile picture, but the result just turns the tab into "about;blank" instead of the image code in the profile picture box after I try dragging and dropping it. Part of me is wondering if I needed to provide a picture at the time my account was set up, I'm hoping that's not so. Thanks in advance for the much needed advice!

No, you can set up a profile pic or change it at any time.
Find a picture you want to use. If you want to use one of your own, you must upload it somewhere else (Google Photos, Facebook, Flickr, etc)... Then right-click on your photo at that site and select "Copy Image URL".

Then go to your SteemIt Settings page and paste that URL in the appropriate box.

Awesome! thank you and I'll do that now
