Only i know how much i wanted to upload my profile picture and coverpage to my Steemit account. How incomplete i felt as a Steemian in all these days but Steemit is different from other social media sites.
I asked many, surffed different sites, watched videos but again and again got the same answer. "Get the url by Uploading your images on imagesafe.org or postimg.org and then paste the url in the settings."
But i was worried about my personal pictures how can i upload my pic. on any of these sites? They might use it in a wrong manner. So i gave up the idea of using my own picture and thought i better use some other picture from Google as my profile picture.
Last night when i finished with my post and upload image related to my content using " selecting them" option,i saw the url of the image. What a fool i am? How many times i have seen such url's but it never clicked before.
Now i know how to upload my profile picture and cover page images using my Steemit account only and it is quite safe.
Now lets do it :
STEP 1 : Go to the post option in your Steemit account or the section where you copy paste or write your post.
STEP 2 : Upload your desired image by using "selecting them" option but make sure "editor" should be their on the top "HTML" or any other option won't work out.
STEP 3 : Copy your image url but before copying make sure to delete the brackets. Your url should start with http:// and ends with jpg.
STEP 4 : Now open your settings and paste your url in the given space.
That's it you are done.
It looks like i am introducing myself again to this wonderful community. Thanks for your acceptance. I love Steemit.
With
Godspeed,
Shagun.
