Hello Sam, welcome to Steem! :-)
You are doing nothing wrong with your profile picture and it would work but.... for some reason your site doesn't let you do that.
So here's the trick:
- Save your desired profile picture on your disk.
- Drag and drop it into your post or comment.
(You do not actually need to post it) - Site would store that image for you on its own servers for convenience and speed providing you an URL to it.
- Use that URL as your profile picture.
I've actually already done that for you, so here you are, use that one:

Hey gtg, thanks for that. Very much appreciated. I'll try that :) I'm still getting my head around Steemit and the whole new concept of blockchain technology.
Thanks again gtg, it works ...see my profile pic :)
Well done! :-)
