You can personalize your Typepad account by adding a profile photo that represents you and your blog. After uploading your photo, the photo will display on your Typepad Profile. Additionally, you can add your profile photo to the sidebar of any blog and have your profile photo display next to your comments.
Uploading a Profile Photo

Under Userpic, click on Choose File or Browse, locate the image you wish to use on your computer, and click Open. You'll see the selected image as the Userpic. Finally, click Save Changes to update your Typepad Profile.

Display Profile Photo on Blog
To add the Profile Photo to your blog, go to Design > Content, select the About You category, select the Profile Photo, and click the "Add this module" button.
Select the width of the image by choosing an option from the "Size of image" menu. Keep in mind most themes include 15px of padding to the left and right of the column.
