When BlogBurst bloggers create their profiles, they are prompted to upload an avatar or image for their blog. A blog image can make your blog more attractive to publishers (and readers), increasing your chances of being picked up.
If you don’t have an avatar (photo/logo) associated with your blog, we provide a generic default image - but we’re sure you can come up with something much more creative that accurately represents your blog. (Remember - the blog image is different than your blogger image, although you can certainly use the same one.)
You can add a personal image for your blog in a few easy steps:
1) Save the .jpg or .gif picture (that you want to use for your blog) onto your desktop in Windows, so that you’ll know where it is for a later step.
2) Log into your Blogburst account by going to and clicking on the ‘Workbench’ tab at the top right corner of the screen.
3) When you log in, you’ll see your blog listed under Summary. Click Edit Blog Profile for the blog in question. Then you’ll be taken to the Edit Blog page.
4) On the Edit Blog page, you will see a Blog Image section with a Browse button beside it. Click the Browse button.
5) Next, you’ll be taken to a File Upload pop-up window that has an icon for Desktop somewhere, probably in a column on the left-hand side. Click the Desktop icon.
6) You should now be able to see everything on your desktop, including the picture you want to use. (if not, make sure ‘files of type’ says ‘all files.’) Click on the name of the image you want to use, then click Open in the lower right.
7) This will send you back to the Edit Blog page. Scroll down the page and click Save, and you’ll be in your Blog Profile.
If you don’t see the image you selected beside your blog, hit the F5 button on the top row of your keyboard to refresh the page, and it should display.
