how do you post pictures of yourself

Post Reply New Topic

help. I've been trying to put pictures of myself here on wp. But I have no idea how to do that?
or how put a picture of me on my profile page?

See the FAQ here: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postp2584318.html#2584318
Basically you need to have the image stored on an external site, then you'd post a link to it here.
I use Photobucket - similar to Flickr or ImageShack - most (all?) of them offer a free image hosting service too. The free accounts will restrict the number and size of images you can store, but the paid accounts are still pretty cheap and will allow many more files.

Your WP profile can only have one picture attached - the avatar, and that's restricted to small image no larger than 130 pixels wide by 160 pixels high, with a file size no more than 15.77 kB.
You can upload a suitable file through your profile editor, accessible via the "My Account" link at the top of the page.

I have found that most images in .jpg or .gif format will work on most forums.

However, i'm not sure if that applies here.

Image files of png, gif or jpg are fine for the avatar.
The tricky part can be getting the size reduced sufficiently, without making a mess of the content!
