Question

How does one create an avatar?

Answer 1

Go to http://avatars.yahoo.com and sign in (if you're not already). You can make an avatar image there. If you need help with making the avatar, follow instructions at http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/avatars... Your avatar is currently a grayed out man/woman because it's the default image. Make sure that you click the orange "Save Changes" button below your Avatar preview window before leaving the site!

If you want it to display in Yahoo!Answers:

Click "My Profile" to the upper right of most Yahoo! Answers pages, then click "Edit My Info" in the top left box on the Answers profile page. Choose your avatar in the pic section. Click Preview and then the OK button.

Answer 3

TO CREATE AVATAR

Click on the Avatar Home.

http://avatars.yahoo.com/

Start with your appearance and look for your skin color, hairstyle, and hair color. You can click on different hair colors on the right side of the picture. If you want to change your facial expression you can do that with the smileys that are above the cartoon.

Go through the apparel, which allows you to pick full outfits, tops and bottoms, or even plus sizes.

In the extras you can pick jewelry, hats, bags, shoes. But this is the place where you can really personalize your look. If you want to look like cavewoman or a viking, you can actually find it here. This is the fun area to see what's new and how you want to represent yourself.

When you put together an avatar that you really like, save it in your favorites so you can refer back to it at anytime. Otherwise, you'll have to start over everytime.
