Hi Moonlit-- to do that you have to upload your photo somewhere online and link to it in your profile page. I use http://imageshack.us/ -- after you upload your photo it even gives you all the different options for posting in a copy and paste format.

You can always create a FREE account at photobucket.
http://www.photobucket.com
The free account allows 'X' number of pictures you can
hotlink straight to their site to cut down on hits
that other sites get from doing so.
Copyright pics shouldn't work.
Right click your mouse over a picture of your
choice/finding.
The 'properties' box should come up.
Copy the address (URL) either on paper
or with your mouse.
At photobucket you can paste
(or type in)
THAT address there & SAVE.
Voila!
It generates an img code that you use here.
You would just copy/paste the address from
your saved picture in photobucket between those
img's.
I also have a blog that I store pictures on for
general use.
The biggest problem with them in a FREE blog
is that if there were any animation to the pic,
it get's lost in the blog--where as photobucket
retains the action.
My blog addy is...

Just scroll down past all the humor, instructions & monsters
to male/female avatars. I've over 1000 pics saved.
Right click on any you wish to have for the address to
save, or hotlink in here to.
I'm in a LOT of rpg games helping people out
with avatars is why I have so many.
Hope that helps*

Blessed May You Be
I also use imageshack to upload my images but when I copy and paste the URL, an error comes up saying "The URL of the remote avatar is not valid".Hi Moonlit-- to do that you have to upload your photo somewhere online and link to it in your profile page.

What should I do?
