How to Add a Profile Image
Ever wonder how people get a personalized icon next to their Shoutbox posts? Or perhaps, you saw some profile pages with an image of the member and wanted to add an image to your profile page, too.

Here's a little tutorial to help you add some personality to your WebRing identity:

Click the "My Account" link found at the top of every page to open your account page.
Click the gray "Edit Profile" tab. The "Edit Profile" page will open.
Click the "Browse" button to search your computer for and to select your image of choice.
Repeat Step 3 if you wish to upload a small icon.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Apply Changes" button.

Profile Image Option

The first upload field allows you to upload a rather sizeable image that will be displayed on both your profile pages and on your My Account page. If you choose to leave the second upload field blank, this image will be automatically resized to 30x30 pixels and used as your small icon.

Small Icon Option

This second upload field allows you to provide a different image sized at a mere 30x30 pixels. This serves as your small icon, which appears beside your Shoutbox posts as well as next to your site titles in WebRing Community Memberships (WebRing 2.0 only).

Why Upload a Small Icon?

If your profile image shows you shaking hands with Steven Spielberg or climbing Ayers Rock, you won't be able to make anything out once the image is automatically resized to 30x30 pixels. In order to make your small icon really pop, we recommend that you crop your image tight or choose a different image altogether.

Adding an image to your profile is a breeze. Plus, it enhances your WebRing personality! Ready to add an image to your profile?
