While I'm at it, I also can't seem to figure out how to change my photo in my profile and replace it with a more recent photo. What is an avatar anyway?

Thanks, Kathy

An avatar is just a photo. To change your photo, Go My Space, Profile, then choose View/Edit Complete Profile at the upper right. Scroll down to Avatar / Picture URL and click edit. Choose whether you want to provide a URL or Upload, fill in the blank and click on Update Avatar. (To tell the truth I'm not sure what those buttons on the left mean...)

Chris, I am still having a hard time. I've replaced the photo, but then the one I put in is absolutely enormous. I've cropped it and reloaded it, but it is still way too big.

Any suggestions??

Thanks for your help as I struggle with this!

Kathy

Crop it to no wider than 400 pixels (300 is good) and set the resolution to 72ppi - then it will be fine.

The photo you uploaded is at 180ppi resolution and is 648 pixels wide.
