  1. As it's unclear exactly where in your 360 space that you're trying to upload an image, you can check out  your options below:

    On your TOP PAGE (the "share photos" module is busted):

    PERSONAL PROFILE PICS:

    Make sure a JPEG formatted photo (with .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe extension) under 5MB is saved to your hard drive.

    - Click your "My Page" link at the top

    - Click "Edit Profile Photos" over the empty picture frame

    - Click "Browse" and upload photo into an empty field. Then click one "use as primary" radio button on the right before saving.

    You can't upload more than 4 profile pictures (this includes an avatar). Make sure that you are following the 360 Personal Photo guidelines here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/gui... .

    NOTE: This module is buggy and may not work well. The Y! 360 team is no longer fixing page glitches.

    IN YOUR BLOG:

    1) Above your entry space, click the "Browse" button for the photo upload tool. Search for the image that's saved to your hard drive. It must be a JPEG formatted image (extension ending with .jpg, .jpeg, and .jpe) and under 5 MB in file size.

    * The picture will appear above your entry and doing it this way, you can only use one picture.

    NOTE: The following methods require that your image is hosted via an online hosting service like Flickr (http://flickr.com ) and Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/ ):

    2) Check out the 360 team post on dragging & dropping photos into blogs: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1qCkw2Eha...

    * This method allows many photos to be used in an entry, with your choice in placement. Make sure that you are using an image that's on it's own page (not on a page that is shared with others). So click on the image and get to that image's full detail page (likely the largest view of the picture, not the thumbnail).

    3) Copy and paste an absolute URL for the image (which looks http://www.domainname.com/nameoffile.gif or .jpg....something similar to that) into a blog entry.

    - Check the box next "View HTML source" box (on the upper right of your entry's space).

    - Type in the HTML code:

    <img src="URL of image" height="# of pixels" width="# of pixels">

    NOTE: With Flickr, just use the block of code above the pic's URL that they tell you to use...wouldn't want to violate their guidelines.

    - Uncheck the "View HTML source" box to get back to the regular blog screen.

    WARNING: Do not save your entry with out adding some text.

    - Click "Save"

    * This method allows you to use any formatted image as long as it's hosted on an online server and not only your hard drive. Check each service for their list of accepted file types before choosing one.

    4) SLIDESHOWS:

    Create slideshows to embed in a blog entry and then choose to highlight the entry to make it appear on the top right side of your blog (if you like). Slideshow services: slide.com, rockyou.com, photobucket.com (although photobucket limits the number of pictures in one slideshow album), picasa.google.com (highly recommended):

    - Find the embed code for the album that you want to add.

    - Click on "My Blog" and create a new entry.

    - Type some text in the actual entry space as well, as it might not save.

    - Click the box next to "View HTML source" in the upper right of the entry space before adding code.

    - Copy the embed code and paste it into the space.

    - Click "Show Options" link at the bottom of the entry and click the highlight option.

    - Click the box next to "View HTML source" to get back to regular view if necessary. It may not show up until the entry is Previewed or Saved.

    - Click "Save" button and see if it appears.


  2. I usually get my pictures out of my computer files but otherwise I don't know.

  3. Google any picture you may be looking for, such as cars, lol. After that right click your mouse and save it to your computer. Its just that simple. When you go to change your background on your 360 click on documents which you have on your computer, then it will say pictures. Select it, hit save and you have your background.
