To find a picture, you can go to an icon journal (there are a whole bunch of them). To look for an icon journal, go to the top of your screen. Type in "icon" or "icons" and list it as an interest... this is in the search box at the top right of the screen.
It will pull up all the communities that have icons listed as an interest. Chances are, a lot of these are icons. Click on one of them, scroll around for an icon you like. To save it, right click it, save as, (pick a name, unless the icon creator has told you to credit them), and save! If you are looking for a specific icon (like Bon Jovi), put "bon jovi" in the search box and make sure you select "interests". This might be a little harder, but look for a community that says they have icons. Usually as the community's name it will say that they have icons. Do the same thing here to save.
To upload: Sign in to LJ. Click on the link that says "your userpics". Click "browse" to see where you saved your file. Then hit "upload". Wa-La! There it is. Add a keyword... something you will remember like "bon jovi" or the username that you took the icon from (if they told you to credit them). You may upload as many as 6 icons.
To choose which one to use when commenting/writing a new entry: It will say "picture to use" with a scroll menu. Select the one you want by it's keywords. Ta da!!
Please keep in mind that icons are to be 100 x 100 pixels and no bigger than 40k.
