ok, thanks for your comment to my page ... upvoted and followed your post because it is simple and accessible to someone who is not a computer junkie :-) I have been on board since a couple of weeks and still find there are many things to learn and understand... so any helpful advice will count! upvoted and followed! :-)
for now and to start... it would be enough for me to understand how to drag a photo from my lap to the round, small icon of my name!!! :-D
thank you very much for your great reply!
a very simple way to put a photo from your note as your profile icon is to upload it in somewhere on the internet then copy and past the photo link in > settings >profile Pic URL
you can use Facebook to upload it for instance, or a site like this one
