Here's how to add a picture:
1a. Find an image you want on your page on any other page in the wiki, or on the image list page.
1b. If you want to upload a new picture, go to the upload file page.
2. Once you've found or uploaded an image, find out its name (including the extension), which will be something like File:Image name.
3. Now, find a nice place on your user page, edit the code, and add this text, replacing the name and caption appropriately:
[[File:Image name.png|thumb|Caption]]
4. If you want to control the size of the thumbnail, you can specify its width in pixels. For a 100 pixel wide thumbnail, this would be:
[[File:Image name.png|thumb|100px|Caption]]
5. Thumbnails automatically go to the far right-hand side of a page, but you can make it go to the left side instead:
[[File:Image name.png|thumb|left|100px|Caption]]
