Step 1. Create an account on an image hosting website. A popular one is: www.photobucket.comfollow their sign up process then upload the picture you want for your profile and any others you might want to post here. Step 2. Get the URL of the picture you want for your avatar. Browse the photobucket website until you find the picture you uploaded and when you hover the mouse over it, you will see a box open up underneath. Click the text titled "direct link". After you click, the text should momentarily be replaced by the word "copied". That is the URL and it is now copied onto your clipboard. Step 3. Click profile, at top of page between logout and calender, then click modify profile in yellow. Enter your password in both of the top two input fields then scroll down until you see an input field titled "Avatar URL". Right click in that area for text and then left click "paste". Scroll down to bottom of page and click modify profile. That should do it. The hardest part is finding a picture that is a perfect square. If the picture isn't square, then it will be resized automatically and look a little weird. I use a free photo editing software called Irfanview. The steps are hard to explain but I can help you more if you need it. |

Tuna, I personally like your name cuz it's a name that no one else would choose for themselves, and before I became a vegetarian I used to LOVE eating tuna salad sammiches!! ;D Be yourself Tuna. You are awesome. AND I think you're pretty!  |
