Before you can share your photos in your bio, you must first upload them to a public server on the world wide web where other people can view them. One such public server is www.shutterfly.com. Shutterfly.com will let you upload photos for free to share with friends. They even have capabilities to add borders and captions to your images. Once you have uploaded your photos where other people can see them you are ready to add pictures to your bio.

One way to copy text is to highlight (or select) the text you wish to copy by clicking with the mouse at the start of the text and hold the mouse button down while you move across the text. Once the text is highlighted (selected) then right click your mouse on the selected text to load the popup menu. The right mouse click is when you press the button shown below on your mouse.
The popup menu should look something like this:
Move your mouse up or down to select what you need from the popup menu. For example you can select 'Copy' from the popup menu to Copy the highlighted text
You can also copy the highlighted text by holding down the 'Ctrl' key on your keyboard while also pressing the 'C' key
When you are ready to paste your text, right click your mouse wherever you want to paste your copied text. Then select 'Paste' from the popup menu.
You can also click your mouse wherever you wish to paste the copied text and then press the 'Ctrl' key on your keyboard while also pressing the 'V' key
