I confess that I thought that avatars were kind of silly things. But I've had so much fun creating mine! I tried to make my avatars as much like me as possible and some folks have said that the avatar in the right margin does look like me. I created her on Yahoo. Once you log in on your Yahoo account, go to http://avatars.yahoo.com/ -- and have fun.
I tried out the Meez site -- http://www.meez.com/home.dm -- and found it very easy to use. Instead of posting straight to my blog, I saved my Meez avatar to my picture file and have posted her above.
