Adding a Picture

Step 1: Add your picture file in the User picture area. You can drag and drop your file from your computer into the dashed box area with the blue arrow, or you can click the Add file (looks like piece of paper with a folded corner) button in the upper left corner of the window.
Step 2: Once you click the Add file button, click Browse… to find and select your file. Once you select your file click the Upload this file button. Step 3: When finished with your profile, scroll down to the bottom and click the Update profile button.
