Confluence makes it easy to add a picture or icon to your confluence profile. By default these pictures appear on your personal confluence page, on the confluence dashboard next to the list of pages you have recently updated, and can be made to appear on the list of recently updated pages on your group spaces. Adding images to your profile can help build a sense of community in a distributed collaboration.
To add an image to you profile click on "Your Name", Preferences from the confluence menu at the top of any confluence page, then click on Edit Profile, Profile Picture. Now click Browse... to select the picture you want to upload, then click on the Upload button.
Confluence only allows your profile picture to be 48x48 pixels, but you can upload a larger image, and confluence allows you to crop the image directly on the upload page. If the image is still too large after cropping it will automatically be scaled to fit the 48x48 pixel limit.
More documentation on profile pictures can be found on the confluence web site.
Adding profile pictures to the list of recently updated pages on your group space.
If you have a {recently-updated} macro on your group home page you can easily modify it to include contributors pictures, by adding the showProfilePic=true option.
