Adding a picture is seemingly the most difficult thing for people to do, both
mentally and technically. Maybe you want to add your picture, but you are
feeling a bit apprehensive? Who's going to see it? What if someone I know sees
it? I don't want to be embarrassed! Forget about all of that. It's just not
going to help you out at all. Your picture is everything here, not adding it
would be a costly mistake. So just get over it already!
Adding a picture is a very easy and straightforward process, yet many people
have trouble. The first thing to know is you have to have a picture on your
computer. If you don't have one, you'll have to create one. This is easy. If
you have a digital camera it is just a matter of taking some pictures and
loading them onto your computer. If you have a regular film camera you will
have an extra step. You will need to scan your pictures into your computer,
converting them from paper to digital. If you have a scanner this should be no
problem at all. Hopefully you know how to use it, if not, read the directions!
 If you don't have a scanner, scan it at your friend's house. You can also
take it to a place like Kinko's and use their computer equipment. Whatever way
you do it, be it digital camera or scanning from paper, make sure it is a good
picture! We see some rather odd pictures being submitted here at
DateHookup.com. We often come to ask ourselves the same question: "This is what
they chose to submit? THIS?!?!" We want people to be successful here, we get
annoyed when they send in a tiny picture that is so small you can't even see
the person's face, or when someone submits their passport photo. Come on, we
can do better than that can't we? It isn't as if we don't have plenty of
pictures of ourselves. If you don't have them on the computer, scan them in! If
you don't have a scanner, go to Kinko's and use theirs. It is so easy. A bad
picture can in fact be worse than no picture, and that is saying a lot
considering their general importance.
