Could some savy person tell me more specifics about how to do an avatar?

There are a few things you could do. One is you can Google "free avatars" and you will find many, many choices. Choose an avatar and copy it to your computer. Then you can either upload it to this site or host it on another site, Photobucket is the one I use. To add your avatar you click "User CP" and then "edit avatar" over on the left side of that page. Now you have the choice of either uploading it here or entering the url of the hosting site you used (e.g. Photobucket). Each one of your pictures hosted on a remote site will have a unique url.

Avatars need to be a maximum of 80 by 80 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller). The avatars you find on the web should fit this criteria. If you want to make your own avatar you have to resize your photo using whatever program you have on your computer, I use Photoshop, and then follow the instructions above to upload either here or to a remote site.

HTH,
Karen
