5. The first entry is for the Avatar URL. This is where you will input the link to your picture that you have uploaded to Photobucket or some other picture service.

The URL link is input just as the link implies. If your picture is on Photobucket, your link might be the following: http://www.photobucket.com/mypics/myavatarpic.jpg
Be sure to include the full path....use http:// and place the extension of the picture which can be a JPEG with the .jpg extention or a GIF file with a .gif extention.

6. Now, under Avatar Width, input the number 100. Do not input a larger size.

7. Under Avatar Height, input the number 100. Do not input a larger size.

8. Under Personal Text, you can input a small sentence of your choice.

9. Now scroll to the bottom of the page and click on MODIFY PROFILE to save everything.
