Techno-illiterate here. I have a "page" in the "community", but I don't have a picture accompanying my profile. Without the technology to upload pictures, how do I get a picture of myself onto the profile? On Facebook, there is an e-mail address they assigned that allows me to send pics from cellphone camera to FB. Does UMD have something similar? And why am I typing all of a sudden in italics? How did this happen?

At the top of the Page click on "My Profile"

In your profile, on the left hand side click on "Edit Profile" under "My Tools".

Under "Optional Stuff" you can browse to your avatar.
