Following on from my first Twitter Tutorial this next tutorial shows you how to add your picture.

(I know these tutorial are basic, however the basics are often overlooked. So… if you’re new to Twitter please follow along and you’ll be really pleased).

Once you have your Twitter account, the first thing to do is add a picture of yourself. People see this picture when you tweet, so it’s really important to have the picture of yourself, preferably with a smiling happy face:-)

1. When logged into your Twitter account, look up at the top right hand corner and click where it says “settings”. See the diagram below to show you where to select settings.

2. To add your nice face picture on Twitter, click where it says “Picture” (on the menu down a bit from the top of the page), then click the button.

3. After clicking on the Browse button, a box pops up listing the files on your computer. (if you don’t have a nice pic of yourself ask someone with a digital camera to take one, and copy it over to your computer) From the pop up box, select your picture and click the “open” button. These instructions are for a PC, the Mac is slightly different.

Look at the picture below to see a similar view of what your screen will look like.

After selecting your picture, click on the Save button. If the picture is too large, you’ll require some photo editing software to make it smaller.
