How do I add my own avatar?

I've always wanted to add my own avatar but could never figure out how to do it or where to get the cute avatars. If someone would be kind enough to give me the 'dummies' version, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks a bunch!!!!!!

I used a pic of our old dog and then used Image Shack to resize to Avatar size and then posted it in the section to change your Avatar. I also like Glitter Graphics for premade Avatars and the cute animated ones! HTH

For the avatar go to the website you want like glitter graphics

pick your graphic

it should say download graphic

when you click that it opens in a new window

right click on that new window

select properties

it will give you and address such as http://sl.glitter-graphics.net/pub/1...29u4kcqy3.jpg,

right click on the address and copy it

go into your control panel

select personal info

select avatar options

paste the address in the bottom section titled your image

hit the add avatar button

that's it- good luck
