OK....like I said, I'm really not the "techie" person but for those of you who want pictures on their blogger profile here goes:
First of all, you need to have a picture of yourself somewhere on the internet. You can't just download one from your computer.
You can achieve this by creating a blog like I'm doing now and while you are on the compose page you'll see a little picture icon on the top navigation bar. Click on that and it will allow you to download a picture from your computer. Publish you blog, then view it.
Your picture will be there but to get it to appear on your posts you need to add it to your profile. RIGHT click on your photo, a dropdown menu will appear and one of the selections is "PROPERTIES". Click on that, and one of the fields is "URL". Copy that URL (highlight it, then hit Cntrl C)
Go to your blogger dashboard and select "edit profile"
There is a field for adding a picture, and that URL needs to go in that line.
Put your curser there, and paste it (Cntrl V)
Then publish it. Get it? Got it? Good!!

Linda, I've printed this off and I used to think I was very good with the computer, photoshop,quark, etc. BUT I'm NOT giving up getting my pic with my profile. I WILL succeed even though I may have to have my son, who the real computer geek do it for me!! Thanks!!

Dale Yes, I should give you credit for this idea! I never thought of just putting the pics on your blog to get a URL.....thank you!

LoL... I wasn't fishing for credit, Linda! Just giving you a gentle tease... and as you very well know, you had pix up all over the place before I ever saw them.
I hope you are having a great Sunday.

Missed you at Starbucks today

I DID IT! hah hah, but it did not go exactly where i thought it would go...i want that picture next to the word Flamingo's Hideway...but maybe i can't do that unless i design my own background page design, or whatever the setup is called.
