OK I got the avatar and xmpp figured out. The problem saving the xmpp profile About is actually an issue with that particular xmpp provider I have been using. It worked fine with another backup account I had. So I decided to just get a new account at snopyta.org, I've been eyeing getting one there for some of their other services as well. I added my keyoxide link to my Masto profile as well.
