Adding an Avatar to your profile

[Shirley]

Built into the Scrappit Messageboard is the option to include an Avatar (a little picture) with each Mesageboard post that you make - can you see mine to the left of this post?

There are a few that are inbuilt into the 'Profile' section of the Messageboard. To find them, log in and just click on 'Profile' in the top menu. Once your 'Profile' loads, click on 'Modify Profile'.

In the 'Personal Information' section, you can choose to add an Avatar from the drop-down menu OR you can do what Sharon did and include a URL to an image on the web that you like.

Sharon went to the site gdpit.com/avatars_pictures/animated-1.htm and browsed through all the images until she found one that she liked.

All she then did was right clicked on the image to bring up the 'Properties' of it which then list the URL of the image.

She then copied & pasted the URL details straight into the Avatar URL link box in her 'Profile' section and then scrolled to the bottom of the 'Profile' page and clicked on 'Modify Profile'.

Viola! One cute little Avatar that is somewhat personalised to you!

Thanks once again for the tip Sharon!

How can we put our picture as our avatar?

[Shirley]

From what I have been told Cathy, you have to upload your picture somewhere onto the web (say Flickr) and then you can link to it the same way by including the URL of your image in the Avatar URL section of your 'Profile'.

I must admit though . . . I am yet to try doing that . . . I just nabbed an Avatar from the site Sharon told me about

That was sooo easy I can't decide which one I like the most...gues I might pick a different one per week LOL!

Cathy your best bet would be to upload a pic you like to your blog then use the url like Shirley described to add it in.
