How do I upload my photo to my GB profile page?

Although we accept most file formats, it's best to upload your photos in JPG format. When you first registered for Growing Bolder, you should have been prompted to upload a profile photo. If you opted to skip that step or you want to change your picture, follow these steps:

• In the left column of your GB profile page, click the Upload Media tab.
• Select a photo album from your drop-down menu or create a new album. This is where your new image will be stored.
• Click Next.
  
• Click the Browse button next to the field titled Upload File. This will bring up the File Upload window.
• In the File Upload window, locate the folder in which you have saved your photos. On most Windows computers, this is the My Pictures subfolder located within your My Documents folder.
• Highlight the folder and double-click to open it.
• Locate your photo in the folder by clicking through the images. If you stored your photos in a subfolder within My Pictures, just double click on that folder to open it. If you don't see images of your photos, change your view, following these steps (Windows only):
• In the File Upload window, click on the View Menu icon at the top right.
• Select Thumbnails from the drop down list. You should now see small images of all of your photos.

• Once you find the image you want to upload, double-click on it to select it. The name you assigned to that image will appear in the Upload File box.
• Click the Upload button to the right of the filename box.
• After you click the Upload button, your photo will begin to upload to your Profile Page. It should take anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes, depending upon the size of the photo and the speed of your Internet connection.
  
• After the photo uploads, you will be prompted to change the file name to a caption, to choose a category and to choose what sort of comments you will allow to be displayed next to your photo.
  
• Click Finish.
• You'll be asked where you want to go. If you want to make your newly uploaded image your new profile image, click Back to My Home.
• Click Edit Profile in the upper left side of your profile page.
• Click Profile Image under the Edit Menu.
• Find the image you just uploaded and click on it.
• That's it!
