How to get an avatar!
UGH! I just can't find out how to get an avatar? I mean I went on Iconator/Photobucket/Google Images, saved the image but how to I get it on here to share?
* Well, now you won't be needing to ask this question anymore! Because, here is a simple guide to getting your avatar to share with us.
^Though remember, avatar size is 100 pX. meaning if the image is about 450 pX size, it will shrink to be at least 100 pX to fit.^

- Save Your Image. If you find the PERFECT image as your avatar, just save it as a simple title, in your 'Pictures' document or somewhere you will be able to easily find it.
>
Give it an easy name like- 'watermelon' or 'avatar', just so you can find it easy. Or maybe numbers or accents so when you enter your pictures it will be on of the first images up there!
>
- Upload Your ImageNow that you have saved your image, you need to upload it! You may think this is challenging, but it's not. Trust me!
Now goto to an image uploading site, I suggest 'Tinypic.com' for easiest and best results. (considering I use it.)
Now click the "BROWSER" icon, it will take you to your files. (most likely your pictures.)
Look for your image, and click on it.
>
Open the image up, by simply pressing the "Open" button. A new screen will pop up, and 4 files of the image you selected will appear.
The,
1. HTML For Websites link
2. IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards link
3. URL for E-Mail & IM link
4. Direct Link for Layouts link.
Click the 4th option, the one that says 'Direct link for layouts.' It should copy automatically, but just in case please copy it yourself. =] - Paste the Link!Don't be worried, just goto to your Profile. > Click 'Modify Profile', > then scroll down where it says...
"URL Avatar"
Then 'paste' your copied link location into that section.
>
Now save your profile... and your avatar should be there!
Good luck, and have fun!
