Hi. Can I upload a picture from my google drive for the "about me" widget? This picture I want to use is not anywhere else on the internet. This is from a personal collection. Thanks

How do I add an image to my 'about me' widget that is not uploaded on my site? How do I get the image URL for this image?

Hi,

As I said in my previous email.

Please download the image from your about me widget, resize it smaller ( about 200px width ) and change the image name & re-upload it to your site. After that, update this new image to your about me widget.

Or, you can add more this code to Customize > Custom CSS to do that faster:

\
.about-widget img{ max-width: 250px !important; }

Change number 250 to the size you want.

Best Regards,

Hi. Still having a problem with this.

The image i want to use, I want it to appear smaller in size on my home page sidebar, versus the image on my actual "about" page.

When I copy and paste the image URL for the sidebar image, it still appears bigger in size than where I copied it from.

How do I fix this?

Hi,

You just need re-size your image to smaller and re-upload it to your site.

You can use this site to resize/crop your images.

After that, re-upload it to your site and get again the image url.

HI. How do I insert a photo of mine into the "about me" sidebar?

It's asking for an "image URL." How do I get this for a personal photo of mine?

What is an "image URL?"
