How to post a picture avatar

The picture by our names is called an avatar.

You need to first upload a picture from your computer to a photo hosting site like www.photobucket.com You'll need to open an account there, which is easy to do. It is also free.

You may need to resize your picture first, if it is bigger than 80X80 (approximately the size of everyone's existing avatar). If so, go to http://www.kidskingston.com/resize/ & follow the instructions there (it's easy!). Save this resized image to your computer, then upload it to photobucket.

On photobucket under your picture there is a box that is called URL (this is the web adress of your picture, so to speak) - copy this.

Return to Kids Kingston & open your profile - see the options at the top right of this screen. At the bottom of your profile there is a line in which you can paste the URL for your picture.

You're done!

Good luck! If you have any trouble then PM Kathy & she can do it for you.

Can you go through this step by step and edit it? I opened an account and uploaded my pic, but there is no box under the pic called "URL"
These are the 4 options:
Email & IM
Direct Link
HTML Code
IMG Code

The URL would be the direct link.

You can also resize directly on photobucket. Click on the pic you want and either go to "edit" or "resize" from there. Then you can type in the size you want it and it will save like that.

Looks like you have a picture now, but if you still need help send me a message.
