OK.. I have tried shrinking my photo...it is in jpeg form...and tried uploading it and putting it on here as an url.... any suggestion in helping me get my pic up? I was able to use this one that Hey Hey sent to me...but I am not able to get one up from either my computer at work..or at home...

go to your profile page (by clicking on your name), at the bottom click on 'Edit my Profile', then on the left click on 'Edit Avatar Settings'. You'll be able to add a url pointing to your pic. For uploading your pic to a server to obtain a url, try a free image hosting service, such as http://imageshack.us or http://photobucket.com

i fiddled with it more.. i got it finally! yes..
