How do I add my Member Photo?

Question

Answer

Your Member Photo is used to represent you throughout Vox, both on your published blog, and when you leave a comment on another Vox member's site. It will also be used when another Vox member adds you to their neighborhood pages, so be sure to use something uniquely identifying!

Everyone on Vox has a Member Photo, and any blog that you are visiting may show their image in various places. If you hover over any Member Photo, information about that person will appear. There's more info about adding and editing your neighborhood using the member photo under .

Note: You'll be able to choose from a small selection of images for your Member Photo when you first register, but you can change it to something else at any time by following the steps below.

Adding Your Member Photo

Area for adding a Member Photo to your account.

To add your Member Photo, click on the Account link from the top navigation. This will bring you to the screen where you can edit your profile and access other Account settings.

Under the heading Vox Identity, you'll see the words Member Photo with a placeholder image. Click the Change Photo button to the right of the placeholder image to choose a new photo from your Library or add an image for use as your member photo to your account using the Upload, Flickr, or Photobucket options. Click the OK button once you've selected your photo. Then scroll to the bottom of the Account page and click Save to set your Member Photo!

Your Member Photo will display on most of the site at 32 pixels by 32 pixels, but in some locations, such as your published blog and your navigation bar, it will display at 50 pixels by 50 pixels. You may wish to optimize your image by uploading it as a 50 pixels square image, and it will be automatically resized anywhere it is needed.

Note: All photo uploads are subject to the .

Changing Your Photo

If you decide you don't like your photo, or if you'd prefer to be something different every day, you can do that too!

If it's a new photo, follow the same process for adding your photo (above), and it will replace your previous photo with your new photo. Feel free to be creative. Use a picture of your favorite pet, your new house, the sunset off the beach on your honeymoon. Use images that mean something to you.

If you'd like to use a previous image, find the image in your Vox Library, and switch! Easy as that.

Adding Your Profile Photo

Vox also gives you the option to set a Profile Photo that's different from your Member Photo and will only show on your Profile. To add your Profile Photo, click on the Account link from the top navigation. Under the heading Biography, you'll see the words Profile Photo with a Change Photo button to the right. Follow the same steps for adding your Member Photo to add your Profile Photo. Don't forget to click Save at the bottom of the Account page! Your Profile Photo can also be changed easily just like your Member Photo.

Profile Photos larger than 200 pixels wide will be resized automatically to that width. The resized image will maintain the original photo's height to width ratio. If you wish to see more information or a larger copy of any Profile Photo, clicking on it will bring you to the full page for that photo.
