Take a look at this picture. Which thumbnail gives the best representation of the person it depicts? The oddest? Which thumbnail looks most like yours? When we first upload a profile picture we deem appropriate onto facebook, we plop it up there and call it good. When someone’s on our profile they can see us right? But what we fail to consider is that when we partake in activity outside our profile we show up as a thumbnail, and not always as a centered one. (Take a moment to note the man in the upper left corner versus the man at the bottom middle).
To change your thumbnail then, go to your profile, and at your picture in the upper left hand corner, click “Change-picture”. (It is not visible all the time but will reveal itself when scrolled over). Under your image that comes up, click “Edit thumbnail”. In the pop-up window, use your mouse to drag your picture to fit within the premeasured boundaries. When you are satisfied that what is showing is what you want to show so that people can recognize you, click ‘save’. Voila.
