# Adding an author image

 * I am trying to create an author image for my blog, but I’m not sure how/where
   to upload the image to make it happen. Right now it is just a piece of text. 
   Please see:
 * [http://www.elephanteater.com/wordpress/](http://www.elephanteater.com/wordpress/)
 * It says “Dr. Harry Polkinhorn” instead of displaying an image like the other 
   posts. I had help to make the first couple, but now I’m not sure where to upload
   an image.
 * Please help,
    Ryan <:(

 * Looking at the code for that image, it should be uploaded here:
    `public_html/
   wordpress/wp-content/themes/claytor/images/users/harrypolkinhorn.jpg`

 * Oh my god, you are the man. It worked perfectly. Two things:
 * 1) Please email me (email address on my website: [http://www.ElephantEater.com](http://www.ElephantEater.com))
   and tell me your mailing address. I would really like to send you one of my comics
   just to say thank you.
 * 2) Can you tell me where/how you found the piece of code that told you what the
   image should be named?
 * Again, thank you so very much!!!

 * No problem! Glad it worked. 🙂
 * I used Firebug… it’s a FireFox addon that lets you inspect any element on a webpage,
   look at the CSS styles that control it, etc. I just highlighted the <div> that
   contained the image and checked the path for the image.
 * I like the new layout you’re working on by the way… really nice. 🙂
