2.4. Step 3: Adding a Picture of Yourself
Until you add a picture to your profile, Facebook displays a dorky blue-and-white outline of a person’s head and shoulders. Replacing that outline with a picture of yourself is a good idea because it helps searchers identify you more easily. To add a picture to your profile:
Click the “Upload a Photo” link.
Tip:
Technically, if you have a webcam set up on your computer, you can tell Facebook to snap your photo by clicking the “Take a Photo” link and smiling into your webcam. But odds are that you have a better shot of yourself lying around on your hard drive than you’ll be able to get with this method.
In the Upload Your Profile Picture dialog box that appears, click Browse to search your computer for the 4-megabytes-or-less .jpg, .gif, or .png file you want to add to your profile. After you select the picture you want, Facebook automatically adds it to your profile. (Section 2.6.2 shows you how to change it.)
