Still seeing a lot of pals on here who don't have icons for themselves. Need help? Unless you have a profile pic handy you want to use, I recommend going to one of your other social media profiles & doing a right click-save or equivalent to save the picture you use on the bad place or wherever. 🧵

If you look at BlueSky from bsky.app while logged in, you should be able to add a profile picture by taking the following steps (see pics & alt text for more detail): Select "Profile" in sidebar. Select "Edit Profile" Click on the little camera icon next to/on the profile pic & select Upload. 🧵

Screenshot of what I see when I look at bsky.app in a web browser while logged in with this account. There's a sidebar of sorts on the left and one of the items is "Profile"-- you should select that.

And then you should select the "Edit Profile" option that is under the banner graphic or placeholder, to the right of where your name is.
Once you're looking at your BlueSky profile, you can edit your display name and description of course, but there are also little camera icons on the profile pic/icon and the banner graphic. Select those to remove or upload new graphics.
Once you click on the little camera icon, you should get a pop up that says "Upload from Files" or "Remove Avatar". To add an icon/avatar/profile pic or whatever you call it, you want to select "Upload from Files" and then select the image file on your computer. If you're on a computer. If you're on a tablet or phone this may be different and I can look into that if it is helpful. Will see what it is like on my iPad.

Anyway. Select your picture!
