Head Shot



I've decided to put my picture in my profile. So have uploaded one as part of this post. The process is marvelously user-unfriendly:




  1. Load a photo using the upload widget, which is cryptic, but not so bad

  2. Find the url of your photo in the code:

    <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"
    href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3099/3814/1600/elijah_lovejoy.jpg"
    ><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"
    src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3099/3814/400/elijah_lovejoy.jpg"
    border="0" alt="" /></a>


  3. Then take the photo url (http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3099/3814/400/elijah_lovejoy.jpg) and paste it into the proper field on the profile page.



Why can't there just be an upload button on the profile? Why are computers so gosh-darned hard to use?
