If you want to add a small photo under your member name on the left side of the screen (like the image underneath my name to the left), that's called an "Personal Icon" (or avatar). A personal icon is a 10x10 pixel image and will be seen next to your user name in any post you make. Heres how do do that:

Go into "My Control Center"
then into "Account Preferences"
select " Use Personal Icon URL"
and type in the URL for your 10x10

If you really do want to add a signature photo, those show up at the end of every post you make as part of a custom signature. Here's how:

Go into "My Control Center"
then into "Account Preferences"
and choose "Use Custom Signature" with HTML
then choose "Launch Tool" and it will guide you through adding a photo.

Personally, I find signature photos annoying and would rather see Personal Icons used instead. I think signature photos detract from the substance of your post and tend to break up the flow of the conversation as you scroll throught the posts.

A personal icon was what i meant, and now it is in place. Thank you kindly for your help.
