If you want other users to be able to contact you, simply activate the feature that allows contact via email on your weblog. This enables all users to contact you with just one mouse click - but your actual address won't be visible on the weblog. Select "My account -> Contact data" and then select which group of users is allowed to contact you via email. You can choose between all internet users, registered users only or none.

It is up to you whether you want to receive email via Edenwald & Baychester Alumni. You can allow contact for all Internet users, for registered users only or none at all.

Your user picture will appear on the side of your weblog. For the best display, the picture should be 167x167 pixel (width*height) and be provided in either GIF or JPG format.

Some pictures can be distorted, and it's usually because the widths of the user pictures are limited to 167 pixels. If your picture is significantly smaller or wider it will be distorted. You should edit your picture before the upload in order to prevent any distortion. Since no pictures with the same file names can be uploaded, you will have to delete the existing one before uploading the new picture. Otherwise you will receive an error alert telling you that the file name already exists.
If the loading time of your blog increases significantly, your picture file is probably too large. In this case you should compress the file.

If the loading time of your weblog has suddenly increased, you may have published very large images. If you recently insert a user picture, the delay may be caused by this image. If you publish a user picture which requires significant web space, it will influence the loading time of your weblog.
Check the file size of your images under "Weblog" > "Images & Files". If the file size exceeds 50 KB, it will have significant influence on the loading time. You should compress your image. If the long loading time is not due to your user picture, you should check the size of the images in your entries.
