Setting your profile picture allows others to identify you and allows you a chance to express yourself. You can always add or change your profile picture in a couple of ways:

Change your profile picture in the Community

  1. From your Dashboard, click your avatar in the upper right-hand corner and select Community.
  2. Select your avatar (or picture) in the upper right corner.
  3. Click your username tab.
  4. Select Preferences.
  5. Under the Profile Picture section, click on the pencil icon (next to your picture or avatar).
  6. Select Custom Picture and upload your photo
  7. Click Save Changes.
  8. Boom! You’re all set!

Enable your Gravatar Picture

Since Dataquest is a Gravatar-enabled site, you can easily change your profile picture by logging into your Gravatar account and updating your profile picture there. Any changes you make will automatically reflect on your profile page in the Community after a few minutes.

What is a Gravatar?

Gravatar is short for Globally Recognized Avatar.

What if I don't have a Gravatar profile?

If you don't have a Gravatar profile set up yet, no worries! It's meant to be a simple, straightforward, and painless process that can be done in less than 5 minutes by following the instructions below:

  1. Navigate to the Gravatar homepage.
  2. Click on the "Create Your Own Gravatar" button.

  3. Follow the automated prompts.    

And that's it! Now you're all set with a fresh new profile picture for potential employers to identify on your profile page easily.
