Either drag and drop your photo to the middle of the gray area, or use the green CHOOSE FILE button to select your photo. Uploading may take a few moments, and then you'll be given the option to crop and save your new profile picture!
It can take some time to change on the site, so don't freak out if it doesn't change right away. If it still doesn't appear after an hour or so, try clearing your browser's cookies and cache. (Not sure how to clear your browser's cookies and cache? Google has more info!)
Two important notes:
1. Your profile pic is public, so while we love seeing your smiling face, you are welcome to instead use a photo of your dog or a nice flower if you're on the shy side.
2. Make sure your new profile photo does not violate SG's Terms of Service! Your profile photo can be anything you want as long as it is your own image and does not include copyrighted material, anything explicit, pornographic, hateful, or otherwise in violation of our TOS. In short, if it could get you or SG in legal trouble, it shouldn't be on the site, especially in your profile photo.
When you're ready to save your blog, click the green POST BLOG button and it'll be published on your page!
You can format the body of your blog, add images, embed video, and more, all using the light gray buttons below the text box. See the rest of section 6 and 7 of this FAQ for all of the details about these options! You can also change the privacy settings for your blog post - section 6.7 of the FAQ has all of the details about that!
PUBLIC blogs are viewable to anyone, whether they are a member of SuicideGirls, a follower, or a random person cruising around the site.
MEMBERS ONLY blogs are viewable only by SuicideGirls members who are logged in to their SG account.
FOLLOWERS ONLY blogs are only viewable by SuicideGirls members that follow you. (You can allow anyone to follow you on the site, or you can change your preferences to require approval of any new followers.)
To edit privacy settings on existing posts: Click the gear icon for that blog, then choose EDIT. Scroll to the bottom and use the pulldown to change the privacy settings. Make sure you click the green EDIT POST button to save your changes.
There is no option to change all of your blog posts at once, and there is no option to make a blog post visible only to you. Maybe try Livejournal if you're looking for that? (Is that still a thing? Are we showing our age??)
Once you delete a blog it's gone forever, so make sure you mean it!
You can also customize your blog with bold and italic lettering, add a spoiler or a quote, embed videos (from Youtube, for example), attach photos, and fiddle around with other simple HTML basics, all using the the corresponding options below the text box. See section 7 of this FAQ for all of the details about attaching images and videos!
