If you have a picture you want on the desktop computer, open a new tab and drag the picture from the desktop to the tab. Then copy the web address (URL) it has for it and paste it onto the section. And alas, you have a picture! ;)

Hmmm.. I did exactly what you said and it doesn't seem to work. It's still showing an "x" where there should be something. I don't understand.

If not, try getting another copy of that picture somewhere on the internet and see if it works. Sorry if I'm not more of a help...I'm not very techy myself. :-[

Hold the Control button on your computer and then scroll in with your mouse to enlarge it. It's the best I could find that worked
