    I hope these steps are little more informative, but not too much.

    To use a photo image:

    >get a Yahoo! 360 page at-

    http://360.yahoo.com/

    >Save a picture from your E-MAIL / CD / WEB / SCANNER / FAX / FLASHMEM / Flickr / OTHER to your 'My Documents/My Pictures' file folder. Then open it in a *photo program and save out ('save as') a jpeg file. JPEG files usually end with ".jpeg" or ".jpg" or ".jpe." They have to be less than 5MB in size. Or copy and paste it into a photo program and save out as a jpeg file.

    >Log into your 360 account ('My Page')

    >click 'Edit Personal Photos' (above your avatar)(if its not there, you are on the wrong page-look above for a horizontal list of options for 'My Page' and click on it.)

    >click 'Browse'

    >select a picture from 'My Documents/My Pictures' file folder

    >'Open'

    (>'Browse' and 'Open' up to 4 pictures.)

    >scroll down to and click 'Save'

    >if you get bumped to your blog page - get back to 'My Page'

    >Set the picture of your choice as your default. (look under chosen photo for dot 'O Set as primary' and select.)

    >scroll down to and click 'Save'

    Go to Yahoo! Answers>

    >click on 'My Q & A' (upper right corner) or click on your image

    >click 'Edit my info' (below your image, in blue letters)

    >select 'Use my Yahoo! 360 picture' (in 'Picture' section)

    >scroll down to and click on the blue 'Preview' button

    >scroll down to and click on the blue 'OK' button

    --------------

    OR>>>>

    >Log into your 360 Account.

    >'Share Photos'

    >'Add Photos' for Yahoo! Photos and follow the steps.

    >OR if you have a Flickr account, click the 'you can begin sharing' link.
