Is there a way to add an Avatar from my own pictures? It seems it has to come from an URL. Thanks

I will second that question . . . I have a nice "blue bear" avatar on my 'puter . . . but I don't have a way to post it online right now.

As far as I can tell, it has to come from an URL. However, that's easy to accomplish. Just create a photobucket account and upload it. It will give you a URL to link to. It's handy to have for other picture posting stuff too.

I just tried the Photobucket thing . . . but I don't think that it has worked.

Nope, it didn't. I had added the motto (He who laughs) at the same time. It appears, but the Photobucket image did not.

Okay, I finally managed to get an Avatar. It wasn't from Photobucket though. I remembered that I had this one on my 18th blog . . . not quite what I wanted, but it will do for now anyway.
I right-clicked on the image; then selected "Copy Image Location" and used that in the "Modify Profile" section of the "Profile" screen (from the task bar at the top of the page); then clicked on the "Modify Profile" button (bottom left).

I had an issue with this also. If you use Photobucket as I did, thanks Harry, you need to find the direct link to the picture. I found this down on the left side of the screen. Hope this helps. ;D

Thanks for the tip. Using your technique, I was able to add my avatar using photobucket.
