profile help requested :///

i'm sure there's dozens of help forums on here so maybe it's dumb that i myself am asking, but:

first of all, i am new to spacehey despite creating my account 3 years ago, and i am currently trying to create my own layout. so far i've had help from a tutorial on youtube by "Cryptic Jasmine" and i've followed her steps really well. right now i am trying to embed an image on the background of my profile, but it just won't work. i've tried 3 different image dropping sites, like flickr, dropbox, and now imgur. mind you, i'm following her direct instructions in the video, yet images will not embed onto my profile.

so, what worked best for you? i actually would like to take DIRECT advice in this case because i looked through forums for advice on how to do something else, yet every technique didn't work out, until i actually personally asked another spacehey user, and their technique worked just fine.

so please, let me know what worked for you, and maybe the charm of interpersonal communication will do the trick haha
