How the heck can I turn a photo on my computer into a URL to make it my
Avatar? Or if their is another way, I would greatly appreciate instructions
on how to do it.

Instructions are in the Maintenance/Tech room - 2 threads on it:

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=144]
That one basically teaches using Photobucket.

And for those you elect to use Picasa:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7879

Pretty much you can use any service that will host the picture for you. In the case of an avatar, you need the direct code, while to inbed in the post you need the img code.

Thanks, Beth, I will look into it.

Are you still up in Alaska?
How do you handle those giant size misquitos?

P.S. As you can see, I am very much the night owl. But staying up this late is getting
ridiculous. I better change my ways.

Glad you got your Avatar. I like being able to see what everyone looks like, or their dog. Thinking of Birdie there.

Good job. Yes I'm in Alaska still. Mosquitoes haven't really been a problem any worse than in Pennsylvania last summer. Only a couple nights I was slapping myself.
