Your blog posts are great, and seem to answer my questions just before I ask them. I hadn’t realized that I could include professional photos in my bio. Great.

Bony,

Just to clarify – you’re allowed a maximum of 30 (not 36 as you stated) pictures plus your author photo.

~~480Ãƒâ€”600 pixels is the maximum size for your pictures. They can definitely be smaller, which may actually be preferable for web viewing.~~

I dug a little deeper and learned that the minimum size restriction of 480×600 pixels was put in place to encourage members to only upload high-quality, professional photographs. It was felt that smaller photos often did not adequately represent our members as Expert Authors.

I intend to investigate further to determine the validity of this assumption. If it proves to no longer be accurate, we’ll reconsider that particular restriction.

I did not know we could have several pictures on this great site. Who doesn’t like to see a face and an article or two or three or four!

I am on it tomorrow!

Bony,

Upon further review, we’ve decided to increase the quantity of photos you can upload to 100 and reduce the size restriction for professional photos to 240×600.

Thanks for your input. =)

Great article! A question: May I upload an image of my book’s award, or is the photo gallery just for author images? Thanks for the info.

Leann,

The photo must be actual photo of you or have you in the photo.

We will also accept renderings, drawings or non-photo images if they are of you but we will not accept the image of your book’s award.
