how do you do it?

I'm referring to adding a photo to your profile.. I wanted to add something cute and funny (not a pic of ME) so I chose a pic from FLICKR (tried) to copy the URL no luck. Then I saved as picture on my desktop and tried to copy & Paste-still nuthin?
Can anyone guide me here? I've got my Go TO GAL here tomorrow, maybe she can give me the little shove I need.

I'm not computer savvy, but your problem intrigued me so I tried to post a photo to my profile myself, which I hadn't tried before. I had trouble, too. Then when I looked again in the Edit Profile window I noticed that next to the place where you paste your Photo URL there is a link. I clicked on it and found that it took me to a window that offers some advice on how to post. I followed the steps that suggest first blogging the photo from flickr (I've set up my own flickr account and have uploaded some photos of mine, so I used one from there), then going into the HTML Edit mode per instructions. I copied the URL for the photograph from there and when I pasted it in my Edit Profile spot it worked! After that I deleted the blogged photo so it is now only showing in my profile. Hope this helps.

Thank you for responding. I was able to copy & paste a URL from Google images, just not from Flickr. So if I have time tomorrow I shall go thru the steps again, (I think I did notice a HTML edit tab at some point) and hopefully be successful then onto the next "Thang"
