How do I take a picture in my Hub and make it the icon picture that is associated with my Hub when it is listed under my profile? I noticed many people have icon pictures next to their hubs that are associated with the content. Thanks in advance.
If you want your avatar to be used then do not have any picture in top of the respective Hub. It will automatically use your avatar.
I have a picture in a hub I just wrote today about How to Find Pennystock Tips. For the first time in a hub, I included a picture, which was a couple of pennies. I thought this picture would be the icon next to my hub. If you go to my profile page, you'll see that my avatar is the icon next to this hub. I don't want my avatar used, I want the picture of the pennies used. Is there something I need to do to make that happen? Thanks.
Try to edit the photo capsule and resize it to half or full width and see if that helps.

Is it best to stick with one avatar for recognizability in the hub community?Or do different avatars relating to each individual hub attract traffic and interest more?

Wanted to share an interesting observation with my fellow hubbers. For the first four months on Hub Pages, I used a clip art image on my profile. It was a painting of a woman who kind of looked my me- but not me.Yesterday morning I made a change- I swapped out the clip art for a photo. And, I...

Christoph is about to escape unscathed from his hub regarding chaging his perfectly good and proven succesful avatar because all of you people are being nice and honest about his current one being fine.And you're right, it is.However, he should be PUNISHED for questioning himself (which I have...
