Q: How do I make an avatar?
A: At the build page, drag and drop the features until you're happy. Press the Print Screen button on your keyboard. Open a paint program and make a new document. Choose paste and a screenshot will appear. Cut down your image to a convenient size. Add a background color or delete the background to make it transparent. Save it as gif! Then, if you want to use it online, upload it to a server and link to it. Done!
Q: Where can i store my avatar?
A: You can store it at an AOL homepage or use HomeStead. Don't use Geocities or Angelfire, because they don't allow remote linking.
Q: How do I make them show up on EzBoards under my name?
A: Log on to EzBoards. Click on "Edit Profile". Where it says "Personal Photo URL", paste the url of your picture. Don't forget to check "Use personal photo". Your picture must be 60x60 pixels or it will be distorted.
Q: How do I make the avatar show up as a signature?
To make the picture show in each post you make, log on to EzBoards. Click on "Edit Preferences". Where it says "Custom Signature", write this: <img src="yourURL.gif"> and exchange yourURL.gif with the url of your image, including the http:// part. Don't forget to check "use custom signature". This image can be any size!
Q: Where did you get these avatars?
A: I made them myself and my sisters Thea and Emma helped me with some of the features.
