How do you change your profile picture on AOL?

Answer 1

Adding Photos and Images to your ProfileFirst, 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).

Instructions for Using Flickr

1) Drag and Drop

• 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.
• Hit "Enter" twice at the point in your profile text where you want to add an image.
• Click on the photo you want to add and drag it into position on the profile, and then click on the text again to release the photo.
• Hit "Enter" twice again to add a space between the photo and the new text you want to add.

2) Copy and Paste

• 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.
• Hit "Enter" twice at the point in your profile text where you want to add an image.
• Double-click (in the photo-hosting website) on the photo you want to add to your profile, and the photo will open.
• Click on the "All Sizes" button above the photo, and choose a size.
• Underneath the photo, you will see a box called "Grab the photo's URL."
• Copy this URL, click at the point in your profile text where you want to add an image, and paste the image into the text.
