Hi, I noticed a lot of people have a picture of some sort on the left of their post. How do I upload a picture? I am having troubles doing that. Anybody who can walk me through it would be great. Thank you

Hi Cindy, see the FAQ for how to post photo's.

Unless you are talking about the small picture under the person's name, which is called an Avatar. That would be a function in your User Control Panel. Select, User Control Panel>Profile>Edit Avatar. Adding one is similar to adding a photo to a post. You can choose one from the gallery or up load your own. Keep in mind there are size limitations for Avatars of 90pix X 90pix.
