How do you add photos or images to your Answers.com profile?

Adding Photos and Images to your Profile

First, you need to find a host on the Internet for the image(s) you wish to display on your profile: This might be your Internet provider; a host you already use for a domain; or a photo-hosting website such as Photobucket, ImageShack, or Flickr (see Related Links).

Once you have uploaded your images to the host on the Internet, there are 2 methods to add them to your profile:

1) Drag and Drop
Drag your images, one by one, to the place in the text where you'd like the photo to be positioned. Make sure the following 2 windows are open on your screen: that of the photos on the photo-hosting site, as well as that of your profile.

2) Copy and Paste
After uploading the image, you will receive a URL from the host at which you can access the image. Copy this link and paste this URL link into your profile at the spot where you would like the image to be displayed, and it should appear. (If your photo doesn't appear on your profile at first, try clicking on the "add or edit text below" link and clicking Submit again and the photo should go through.)

NOTE: Make sure to add the URL on a line by itself.

To Adjust the Positioning of the Image within the Text

• To set the image flush left, use button #9 in the toolbar at the top of the editing window.
• To center the image, use button #10 in the toolbar at the top of the editing window.
• To move the photo to the left, use the Outdent button (button #11 in the toolbar at the top of the editing window).
• To move the photo to the right, use the Indent button (button #12 in the toolbar at the top of the editing window).
