Answer 1

hello fellow computer newbie! Well at least 2 years ago I was in the same place you are sitting right now.. I have never had any classes either and still haven't .. but I have learned sooo much in the past 2 years.. mainly through the friends I have made on the 360 site.

Now I am going to tell you how to cut and paste in a step by step way.. I will try my best to be as simple as I can.. I had to be taught with pictures and stuff! hehehe

1. This is how to copy anything onto your computer..

    

     Try this on sentences first okay...

     You left click the mouse and do not let up on it.. hold it down and then run the mouse over the sentence .. it should put a highlight color over the sentence.. mine is a red color .. other people have yellow or green..



2. Once the sentence is highlighted  let off the left clicker you have got held down.. the sentence will stay highlighted.

3.  Keep your cursor ( little arrow that points to stuff when you move the mouse) on the highlighted sentence and click your mouses right clicker down... and a drop down menu shows up by the cursor.. let off the left clicker and the menu will stay there.

4. It has several options of things you can do with the sentence .... but the one you want to choose is copy..

click the copy option .. the drop down menu disappears..

5. Now go to the place you wish to paste this sentence into..

click the mouse to make the flashing line appear on the screen

6. Click your left clicker on the mouse again and the same menu appears again.. choose the paste option and it will put your sentence onto the screen where the flashing line is at.

You have copied and pasted ... you are brilliant! lol

Now to put a picture on here through 360 right now is pretty hard to do.. Yahoo is putting together a new platform for the entire site to be launched anytime now.. but who knows with Yahoo.. they do things when they want to.. not when they scheule it sometimes.. but for a place for people who are not experiencedd with computers ... it is the place to be at! I am here still here after 2 years and know a lot of things I never would have except for the 360 and the people I met there.

They stopped doing any kind of maintenance on the 360 a few months ago and now the only pic that will show up here is your avatar for about 99 percent of the people who have 360's and Answers profiles..

If you don't have a yahoo avatar yet .. you can get one at this linkup.. just click the link to go to the page to make an avatar image for your Answers profile.

http://avatars.yahoo.com/

But your question mainly was about how to get an id picture onto your 360.

To do that you go to your MY PAGE. You find it at the top of any of your 360 pages .. Click it and at that page over the top of the place your id picture will appear is the words .. Edit Personal Photos.. Click it.

This takes you to a page with 4 places to browse in your computer and choose pictures to use as your id.. the top slot is broken on everyones pages so don't use it.. the 3rd one is usually for your avatar.. so that leaves you two places to use.

on each slot is the word Browse.. click it and it will open up a popup that opens your MY PICTURES file in your computer..

look in there and see if you have any pics you would like to use as your id picture.. they must be a certain kind of file type though..

Look at the name under the picture you want to use.. at the end of it should be this kind of abrv. a period . and then 3 letters.. jpg.

the image has to be the .jpg kind of file or yahoo won't accept it.. so find one that is that type and click it with your mouse to put the file name in the first slot on the bottom of the popup and then click the word OK to put it into the slot on yahoo.. then go to the bottom of the page and click save..

This will upload your picture to yahoo and it will take you back to your MY PAGE again.. click onto the Edit Personal Photos one more time and then beside your picture you uploaded is the option to SET AS PRIORITY.

click it.. and then click save at the bottom of the page

and wa la... you are done!

Hi Missy

Go to your 360 page

there in top of where your picture is to show ... you are going to see in blue letters: Edit my personal photos/pictures

Click on those letters

another panel will open, there you will see 4 little browsers.

Hit the browser, your pictures folder will come up.

select the picture you like and click open.

repeat that with all the browsers.

when you are done scroll to the button of the page and hit save. Yahoo does the rest.

The first picture you choose it will be your primary picture in the page.

when you want to change pictures... click those letters again underneath each picture you will see in small blue letters remove picture, click on those letters, and the browser will appear again.

always remember to scroll and save yahoo does the rest.

I hope this helps.

Good luck to you.
