Hi @mariannewest. I have been trying several times but my profile and cover photo just won't show up.

You have to host them on a different website and then put the URL. I will look for a tutorial

here is a link to the info on here
https://steemit.com/faq.html#How_do_I_change_my_avatar_image_and_other_profile_information

You could upload your picture into a comment and then use that link for your avatar. Refresh the page and it should show up. I am going to mention @snook here.She did a tutorial on how to make a header.

thank you @mariannewest and @snook. We'll do it today. :)
