Dear all, once again I show my internet ingnorance:
Where can I get an avatar out side of this site? 
You also need an image host: http://photobucket.com/
Caution: benissimusās advice. 
A few words to search in a search engine is copyright free or royalty free pics or clipart (or avatar).
Hereās a site I found right away: http://www.freeimages.co.uk
another one: www.bigfoto.com
Thanks for the better way to host images. You can still use the google trick to get it to the right size thoughā¦
Thank you all very much, but as you can see, Iām stll āfacelessā. The things Iāve found are eighter too big or too stupid (or too expensive?!) to put as an ID. Iām hopeless ignorant. 
Make your own.
Microsoft Paint, fair, but often forgotten program.
If you can color, and have an imagination thereās hope.
Or, tell us what you like and it could be a scavenger hunt on your behalf.
Yeah, you can just save an image you want and shrink it in Paint or another imaging program to make it the right size.
Yes Paint is a good tool for making avatars. I use it all the time.
Good idea! Hopefully, the next time you see youāll be able to judge my creativity . Just for another silly question - what is the right size?
Thanks for being so patient with me.
Sincerly,
Jelena
Not Silly at all - make the image no wider than 120 pixels. A little wider is actually fine, weāre not picky. Just donāt make it so large that it will stretch the template.

And? How do you like me as a young boy with bruise?
(Ok, ok, I admit - Iām too lazy to create something of my own, but hey, I worked hard to find this one )
sincerely,
(ĪµĪ»/ĪµĪ½Ī·
And? How do you like me as a young boy with bruise?
Wellā¦ Since you worked hard finding it, Iām having fun interpreting your choice. Iām thinking of changing mine and puting my real face, butā¦ What would people think!? Hahaha.
He who dares wins! (look at me for example )
And now for a confession - this is not me 
! This is just a photo of a cute boy made by a famous photogapher of ours. Donāt be too disappointed, I look very much like him when I get angry .
cordiale,
Jelena

A?
Is this the face that launched a thousand ships?
āā¦ Like all the locals here Iāve had to sell my home,
Too proud to leave, I worked my fingers to the bone.
ā¦
I was a bayman like my father was before.
Canāt make a living as a bayman anymore.
There aināt much future for a man who works the sea,
But there aināt no island left for islanders like me!ā 
So itās a contest now? 
Well, I doubt Iāll win ā¦whatever it is that I would be winning.
I was talking about showing us your real face for you once mentioned that. Fatti coraggio, car amico, su!
I was talking about showing us your real face for you once mentioned that.
Yes, I thought it was a contest about showing their real faces first. 
Maybe you should start a new thread with that contest?
Fatti coraggio, car amico, su!
Iāve looked up fatti in my latin dictionary and I canāt seem to find the stem for that word. I donāt think fatum is the right word. The only ācarā I can find is not right either. Same thing with coraggio. I hope this is Italian, or else my Latin knowledge is very bad. Half a year of Latin down the drain!
i used to have a fish with a chainsaw
but then i saw m bro watchin Jackie Chan adventures, and Jade just randomly appeared, which I do, so i thought it was fit to use
Aw, your new avyās cute N30F15H - though I liked the surrealism of the chainsaw-wielding fishā¦
gobsmacked You mean, your avatar isnāt you?!
Darn, and I was going to ask you for tips on putting my hair up like thatā¦
Iād never put my photo up on a public forumā¦ though to be fair, I chose this avatar (detail from a digital painting) because I thought she looked a bit like me.
The amazing thing is that so many people - including some who know me offline - have mistakenly thought this was a photo of me!
