A popup box will appear. If you want to upload a  background image from your computer, click on the BROWSE button. After you have selected the picture you want, the path to the picture on your computer will appear in box next to the browse button. The picture is now uploading. Here's where everyone goes wrong, DO NOT click the APPLY button (that is only for an image hosted on another site). Instead click UPDATE PROFILE (bottom right).

UPLOADING VIDEO PROBLEM
It is pretty easy however where you run into problems is when the file is uploaded and there is a black box that says "approved" with a circle thing going round and round. When this is happening the file is being converted into a format the site can handle. Wait till this is finished. You will see a picture of the first frame of your video when it is finished and it will show the length of the video on the right. It may take a minute or so depending on the size of your video, so be patient. You will lose your video if you start uploading another before the conversion process is finished or if you exit the box.
