Thanks Matt! Does this also work when we want to link other chef's pages into our profile?

For instance, on my page I talk about co-hosting with other chefs. I have their chef number there right now, it used to be a link, now it's not.
Kristine tried to coach me through it, but I can't get it to work

Hi, Leslie!
Linking to our co-host's profile pages is a great idea. I've had mine listed, but didn't link them until now.
Here's how to do it:

1. Open each of your co-host's profile pages in a different tab.

2. In your main tab, click on the My Account link at the top of the page.

3. Type the first host's name wherever you want it in your About Me box & then highlight it like you're going to copy/paste, but just highlight it.

4. With the name highlighted, click the little paper clip icon at the top of the AM box (I think when rolled over it says, "link").

5. A new window will appear. Click the tab of the host you are working with & copy the web address. Paste their address into the first line of the new window that opened.

6. It should link it immediately (you'll see it as a link even in the edit mode of your profile page) and then you can highlight the next name and do it all again for the next host.

HTH!

Hi I was thinking about changing my profile pic and wanted to use this picture, would I be breaking any copyright laws or any regulations??? I am always nervous to use a picture I did not take but I thought this one was great. Any feedback would be very much appreciated! [/img]

[**Tinkerbell**]

I totally love that pic, Rollin'!

I don't think there's any problem using that type of image for your icon. Many of us use pics we've found on the internet.
I say, Go for it!

Okay, thanks so much!! I have seen other people use pics like this so I was hoping I could use it. Thanks for the help I really appreciate it.

I'm a HUGE Barbie fan. I can't wait to see it as an icon!

[Rollin in the Dough!]

I put it on as my icon and it fits great in the small version but when you go to my chef page, her head is cut off! Anything I can do that you know of?
