If you're reading this, I hope you are smarter than I am.
Does anyone out there know what I am doing wrong? All I want to do is put a picture of myself on my profile so that it will show up when I comment on blogs. I have tried a picture from photobucket (and the link is valid, since I can view the pic from the link) and I tried it from something posted on blogger, since blogger said I could. Nothing works. The link just disappears when I hit save. Help!

Yes, I have been there! This happened to me all the time before we got broadband anytime I tried to update anything on my layout. I attributed it to blogger being spastic, but I know many people have changed over to wordpress & typepad because of these kinds of annoyances.
The only thing that would work was to use the photobucket image, but instead of putting the URL into the blogger photo upload thing, I would copy the HTML provided by Photobucket (in the album, underneath each picture where it says HTML) and copy that into the part of blogger that accepts html code. The problem is that I only had this problem with my layout, never with my profile picture-they don't give you the html option.
I know that when I didn't do the html thing, trying over & over again sometimes would work and it would finally eventually save. It was always the saving that was the problem.
Other things to try-dump your cookies on your browser before you start, and make sure no other windows are opened that could possibly be signing you out of blogger or something.
If you want you can email me the picture and I can post it on my blog using the blogger upload, and then you can right click "view image source" and put that link in and see if that one works. ???
Let me know.
Good luck!
Weirdness! Afraid I've no idea!
I've tried to change mine several times in the last few months and it won't let me. Problems I've had before were the address was longer than 66 characters, or it wasn't in jpg form. Hope that helps!
I got it to work, finally!!!!! Thanks, everyone!
