OK, I'm not really that dumb when it comes to computers, but I want to know how do you upload your picture? I go to browes and have tried numerous times to post my pic, but it will not let me...too big. Any advise? And where do you go for the cool picture motion effects and upload those?

Right click on your desired photo in your puter file and send it to your photo editor. Make the photo smaller (say 100 pixels square)then save it under a name you'll recognize as being the small one. Then you should have no problem uploading it! (Been there, done that!)

Click on where it says 'change picture' - under your existing picture. The template comes up, click on 'browse', choose one from the pictures on your PC, press upload - and wait a minute.

No need to make the new pic. smaller as it automatically compresses it to Avatar size.

Hope that is useful :-)
