Here are some instructions on how to post an avatar:
NOTE: Before you post any picture on to Newf Net, they have to first be uploaded onto some sort of server. Most Newf Netters seem to use websites like fototime, webshots, epson, image station, etc. Many of these are free, or offer trial periods. I use fototime. I do not subscribe, so my pictures are purged every 30 days. This is no big deal. I just upload them again. These instructions are based on using fototime, so if you use another server, they may differ slightly.
Here are step by step instructions:
Hint: I always have two windows open when posting pictures. One is on Newf Net, the other is on Fototime
1. Upload your picture(s) onto fototime.
2. Once the picture has been sucessfully uploaded, you must click on the picture. Click on the "create a link button". A small window will open.
3. For an avatar, you want to select the "thumbnail" option.
4. You will now see a link… click on Edit at the top of your browser, and select "Copy"
5. Go back to Newf Net and click on "My Profile" which is near the top of the screen.
6. Click on "View/Update Profile"
7. You'll be taken to a page that shows your profile. Scroll about 1/2 way down until you see "Avatar Image". There is a link to the right that says "Select Different Avatar Image". Double click on this link.
8. A small window will open. You will see lots of Avatars that you can choose from. At the bottom you will see a "Use Custom URL" next to a field.
9. Paste your link from Foto Time into this field.
10. Click on the "Set URL"button
11. You should now see your pic in the upper left hand corner of the small window. Click on it to select it, and then click on the "Select this Avatar" button.
12. The small window will go away, and you will be back on your profile page. You should see your picture. Scroll down to the bottom of your profile page and click on the "Update Profile" button.
13. You should be all set. Your avatar will show up on all future posts.
Your Newfie is beautiful, and looks very happy
