Easy Steemit Profile Picture (Without external site hotlink)

I'm sure in the future this platform will host its own profile pictures, but currently it requires a URL.

This post is to show an easy work-around that requires no external storage. Just post the image you want to be your account image within a Steemit post and use that for the URL.

Drag your picture into your post. I will do so, below:

This generates a long url starting with "https://". Highlight and copy this, but do not delete this code.

Now, just click on your picture in the upper right corner (perhaps open it in a new tab so as to not lose the post you are writing) and then click "Settings":

Look for "PROFILE PICTURE URL" and put the URL you copied before. The picture won't work of course until you post, so click the POST button and you are done!
