advatars?

How do I edit my advatar from an image I took that is not from stock photos?

Thanks,
GK
To change your AVATAR, look on the left side of the screen, and click on USER CP (stands for User Control Panel, I believe)

When it takes you to that area, click on EDIT AVATAR.

It will give you the option of choosing a boatload of standards, or you can rool down toward the bottom of the screen, underneath the boring standards, to upload a file.
thanks...I got it changed
Is that the shadowy silhouette I see next to the fence in your new pic?
ahhh...you caught that.
