If you have a photo already saved on your computer, it's really easy. Just hit additional options, then it is just like attaching a pic to an email. Hit browse, and select it off your computer. It's the resizing that can trip people up - you want to make sure you don't try to attach this mammoth, 2 megabyte file or similar. I usually resize to the standard 480x600. I use the free program IrfanView (an award-winning piece of freeware) to resize and edit my photos. There are also online programs that you can use if you are unable to download programs.

I am not the least bit computer savvy, so if I can figure this out, you can too. Looking forward to seeing your face, Chris!
