Please don't laugh ... ok go ahead lol

I need help putting up an avatar! lol I feel so dumb.
I know U just simply put the URL of the pic U want in the field specified in editing your profile but ummm where do I get the link ? I can't just upload a pic I have on my HD ?

Any help is appreciated

You could host the image at a place like imageshack (its where I put mine)

imageshack.us...

Lets say you take my avatar




But imagine its on your pc now. So you go to imageshack and cick the browse button and select your image file on your pc.

Click host it and wait for the image to upload.

After you will be given links to the file. Choose the direct link to image. Select that and copy it.

Paste that URL into your profile settings avatar url and you are done.

Then again you can use any image you find on the net as long as its size is ok.

Here ImJaded, as long as the image is within the avatar guidlines, as Dulcimer pointed out, then a peek at Kinglizards Avatar Instructions should help.
