Here's how to add a picture:

1a. Find an image you want on your page on any other page in the wiki, or on the image list page.
1b. If you want to upload a new picture, go to the upload file page.
2. Once you've found or uploaded an image , find out its name (including the extension), which will be something like Image:Image name.
3. Now, find a nice place on your user page, edit the code, and add this text, replacing the name and caption appropriately:

[[Image:Image name.png|thumb|Caption]]

To change the size of your picture, replace the above code with this code:

[[Image:Image name.png|thumb|XXXpx|Caption]]

The "XXX" should be replaced with whatever size you have in mind. A common range of sizes includes 80px for extremely small, 150px for regular, 250 or 300px for large.
