An Avatar (example left) is the image that appears next to your blog, or next to any comments you make on another blog. It can be anything you like. My Avatar is of me digging in the garden with my son John.


Slightly confusingly, we all need to have two Avatars uploaded, one for our “Blog” and one for any comments we make on other peoples blogs. An important point is that once you have your Avatars up live you never have to change them again – frozen in time forever young! It only takes 2 minutes – the instructions for getting this sorted are listed below:

1. Updating Your Personal Avatar (this accompanies all your site contributions in forums across the network of vegblogs).

In the left hand menu of your admin area look for the heading titled “Users”, and click on “Your Avartar”. The page that appears has clear instructions on how to add an Avatar.

2. Updating Your “Blog Avatar” (this is the avatar which symbolises your site and allows people to find your site by clicking on your avatar.)
In the left hand menu of your admin area look for the heading titled “Settings”, and click on “Blog Avartar”. The page that appears has clear instructions on how to add an Avatar.

All the best
Ben
