Author Message Common Ground / Security Blanket - Computer Questions / Avatar Tutorial, Please? Francine Super Moderator Posts: 1309 Registered: Aug 2002  Posted 09-21-02 08:15 PM                 How do you make avatars out of pictures? And, when you have an avatar that isn't quite the right size, how do you get it to be the right size? As you can see, I found this very cool Mary Poppins avatar, but it doesn't look right....so any help would be appreciated.
