How to use your own picture in Battlelog

You play Battlefield 3 but you don’t know how to upload your own avatar to Battlelog?
The point is: you cannot upload your own avatar directly to Battlelog.
- Instead, you need to do the following steps:
- Create a free account at http://www.gravatar.com. You can use any eMail you use, but it’s easiest, if you use the same eMail adress that you used to register at Origin/Battlelog.
- Upload your image to Gravatar.com.
- Select the area you want to use as your avatar.
- Rate it.”G” means it’s a “safe” image, Battlelog displays only avatars with the rating “G”.
- Choose the eMail adress associated to this avatar.
- Log into Battlelog, go to your profile, click “Edit Profile”
- Enter the eMail Adress you just chose in Gravatar
- Wait 5 minutes, then everyone in the world sees your new personal avatar in Battlelog!
Important:
Be sure to follow the guidelines, if you upload a sex image and rate it as “G”, your account in Gravatar will be locked, and you might get a temporary ban in Battlelog too.
The trick is:
you need to upload your avatar to an external site called “Gravatar” (http://www.gravatar.com)
