How to Post Your Avi Pic

If you have another method of doing this, then use it. If you don't know how to do this, here's some instructions on how to do this:

1.) Choose the avatar you want, and find a page of your posts, much like this one, where your avatar is normal sized.
2.) Find a button on your computer labled, PrtSc (that's what's on mine), or something to that nature. It's short for "Print Screen."
3.) Open up Paint. (Default Directory for XP: Start -] All Programs -] Acessories -] Paint) For other Windows OS's like '98, ME, 2000 and such, Find Accessories and you should be fine.) And Push Control + V (Paste)
4.) Crop the image to fit around your avatar
5.) Go to www.tinypic.com or some other image hosting site, and upload your image. Copy the tag in this format.

[img]http://www.tinypic.com/ezio2[img]

or something to that nature. (Highlight it and push Control + C (Copy)
6.) PM me with your picture and paste that code in the PM
7.) Changing your avatar during voting will result in immediate disqualification.
8.) And please, crop your avatar image!!

I hope this is idiot proof.... sweatdrop

NOTE: Please do *not* send me the link to your Gaia avatar that is hosted here on the site. Using this method, you won't be able to change your avatar. Thanks.

Sorry to be so hard, it's just much easier for the Gaia people if you do it this way. If you really can't figure out how to do this, for a fee of 50 gold, I'd do it myself. (The gold charge is so that people won't just say, " gonk Ohh I can't figure it out! Please do it for me!")

And plus, I know everyone is capable of doing this.
