I have a pic of my two cars that I am wanting to have as my avatar but I am not educated enough to figure it out. Can someone help please and go slow cause I am not the greatest at taking directions. Thanks in advance, Darrell

Ok, apparently webshots is not a site that can link images. Any ideas on a site that I can host my pic so I can have an avatar. Thanks for the info.

Also be sure that it's resized - too many times do we see someone load up a HUGE pic for an avatar. I have been guilty of it myself.

Good point!
For reference, my avatar is a 'gif' file, 94 pixels wide X 99 pixels high.

Right click on the image & save it on your local computer drive. Then e-mail it to DanPazich for linking. Make sure the file suffix "jpg" is in lower case when you put it in your profile.

Quite weird on the definitions of the word.....
av·a·tar 1.The incarnation of a Hindu deity, especially Vishnu, in human or animal form. 2.An embodiment, as of a quality or concept; an archetype: the very avatar of cunning. 3.A temporary manifestation or aspect of a continuing entity: occultism in its present avatar.
1. <chat, virtual reality> An image representing a user in a multi-user virtual reality (or VR-like, in the case of Palace) space. 2. (CMU, Tektronix) root, superuser. There are quite a few Unix computers on which the name of the superuser account is "avatar" rather than "root". This quirk was originated by a CMU hacker who disliked the term "superuser", and was propagated through an ex-CMU hacker at
