A. For all of them, you have to first go to My Profile and My Network in the top left user menu. It's pretty intuitive from there, but to be specific:

1. Upload your portrait: If you're logged in, just click here. Alternatively, after the above step, or click on "Edit" near the top of the page, and select "Update your Image." You can then click "Browse" choose the file in your home computer, and click upload. Presto.

2. Upload pics into the Image Gallery (e.g. headshots, photography portfolio, set shots, etc.): If you're logged in, just click here. Or alternatively after the above A. step, go half way down the page to where there's a pane of tabs ("Videos" and "Photos"). Select the "Photos" tab, and within it, choose "Submit New Image." Write a title for it, "Browse" for the file in your computer and "Submit Gallery Entry." You can submit up to 10.

3. For streaming videos, You don't need to upload them here, but you need to have uploaded videos to some online service (Youtube, Yahoo movies, google movie,etc.). If you're logged in, just click here. Or alternatively after the above A. step,

  • Choose the "Videos" pane half way down the page.
  • Click "Manage Videos."
  • Select one of the options under "Video Provider" on the right (e.g. Youtube).
  • IMPORTANT: Hold your mouse over the blue question mark icon next to it, and you'll see a URL very similar to what appears in the URL box when you watch your video. There's a place in that URL where there's a series of bolded numbers of letters and numbers. See image:

  • Copy that series of letters and numbers from your videos' display in the provider (e.g. Youtube). You should ONLY copy that series of letter and numbers as shown below; NOT the whole URL.

  • Paste it in the "Video ID" box on the left side. Type a quick description. Then click the "Activate videos" button below it and you're done. Add as many videos as you like.

When I put my video IDs in the videos that play are not my videos. On the example URL, the Yahoo ID is 090c3bbef175fe5d3025122dde3cd323.888535, but when on my Yahoo Studio the ID reads 905080, which doesn't seem very similar. Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with the script?
The correct URLs for my videos are:
http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=905080 Acting Demo Reel
http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=888859 A short sampler from The Starry Messenger
