How to make an avatar
Avatars are small pictures that you can have displayed along with your username on most online forums.
There will usually be a link in the area where you can modify your user profile, including adding an avatar to it. Make sure you check out the size limits for avatars at the particular forum you're visiting, because they can range from 50 x 50 pixels and all the way up to 100 x 100 pixels.
First you need to open your graphic editor and open an image you like. Then you need to resize the image to the appropriate dimensions.
After you create the image, go back to the forum user profile editing section. Next, go to the avatar manager and browse to the folder where your picture is. Now you can upload the picture to the forum's server.

I made this using a paint shop pro tube. You can see the Youtube
video of how I did that.
I
got a computer way back when. I was linked to the internet, before the
school I taught in had it. So I learned about computers first and then
as I was a teacher librarian I learned a computer system which we used
to computerize the stock. We had to teach students and teachers how to
use it. How to search. At home I was learning to use HTML and images on
the site I had back then. When the school was ready to create a site for
itself I was all for it and wanted to do it. However, the job was given
to the computer techie of course. After I left that school and at another
I had much more access to the internet and collected many sites suitable
for students and teachers to assist with their learning. Then, after retirement
I started learning web design and as I did, being a teacher, I developed
some tutorials, which you will find on this site. I also take photos.
