Avatar Admiration

[cmr107]

My avatar? Well it's a short story sweetheart, it was only about three seconds I was on that bronc....seriously, it was exactly three seconds (hey, I have something in common with Ennis!). It was at our After-Grad night. Only instead of flying through the air, the next thing I knew was sliding off and plopping onto the paddiness surrounding it (the thing was plastic and slippery, not fair!). I've been trying to figure out how to post it in the What do we look like? thread but can't. Me and digital pictures don't get along very well....

LOLOL!  cmr!  (courtney?)

Hey, if you go to the "so what do we look like" thread just hit "reply" and when the reply page comes up to type your message, look in the lower left. You'll see a text link that says something like "additional options". click on that and you'll see a drop down box with a button that says "browse" click the browse button and find the picture on your computer. Click "add" and then "post" if your picture is under 124 kb it will post on the thread!

Let me know if it works for you!

Hi Brandon,

I think originally David wanted to know the "story" behind our avatars.

erm...I guess mine is, it's the most flattering picture i could find of myself! Plus, you know, cowboy hat.

Some people have like scenes or landscapes or what have you and David was curious about what they represent.

[EnnisDelMar]

Oh, ok I guess mine represents me taking the place of Jake or Heath in the pic

Thanks Paul! (Yes, I'm Courtney.) I'll go try that.

Could someone with a lot of patience, please explain how to get/post avatars?
What I've tried hasn't worked, so if someone could explain it baby step by baby step, I'd sure appreciate it.

Here is a tutorial I made for adding an avatar to your profile.  It's easier to show and tell.

Another thing that might be of use is the Online Image Resizer so you can get your pics at 65 X 65.  I have a photo program to do this, but the online resizer is the 'quick and dirty' way.

To your left, you can see one of my all time favorite paintings, Starry Night, by my most favorite painter, Vincent Van Gogh.  Isn't it beautiful?  I love just getting to look at it every time I post.  I just get this rush of joy and this thrill of unfathomable beauty.  It just takes my breath away. 

David,

Are you familiar with Don Maclean (of American Pie fame)'s song Vincent?  It's basically about Don's impact when he first saw "Starry Night."  I'll email you the MP3 if you don't have it, you really need to listen to it.  Assuming, of course, it's legal for me to send you that MP3.

I am famliar with the Don McLean song "Vincent" -- I happen to own his "American Pie" album (the album that it is on).  Man, Don McLean is sooooo awesome!
