How to change your Facebook profile picture

Now that you're on Facebook, you might want others to see what you look like, or instead, show an image that represents you.
What's the point?
When others see your name in their list of friends, there is also a thumbnail view of your "profile picture".
If you haven't uploaded one, there will simply be a question mark instead of a photo.

To continue, you will need a picture of yourself stored somewhere on your computer. This file should be either a .jpg or .gif file. If you're not sure how to do this, simply have a friend or relative take a digital photo of you, and have them email it to you or give it to you on a memory stick. Make sure it is named something so that you will easily identify it, for example, my pic for facebook.jpg.

Here's how to change your Facebook profile picture:

After you have logged onto your Facebook page, activate the link titled Profile.
Next, activate the link titled Photos.
Activate the link titled Profile pictures.
Now activate the link titled Change Profile picture.
After the page refreshes, you will move to, and activate the link titled, profile picture.
Here you can either choose from existing profile pictures, if you have already uploaded some, or, move to and activate the browse button.
Here you will be presented with a typical route directory of your computer. Tab to the location and file name for the picture you want to use as your Facebook profile picture.
Once you choose the picture you want to use, Tab to the Open button and press ENTER.
Check the bbox with your Spacebar to indicate that you have the right to use the image, and then Tab to the Upload Picture button, press spacebar, to activate the button, and it's done.
