| Help! Computer challenged :( Now that I'm a donating member (which I recommend to anyone who enjoys this site - I have been helped through my Bella's first pregnancy and delivery by so many wonderful people! - that alone made the donation worth it!) - at any rate, since I donated, I guess I can change my avatar to one of those moving ones - that is, if I knew how to do it . I also clicked on "customize profile" and everything on their looked Chinese to me!!! Can anyone direct me to somewhere that I can get some help for the computer challenged??? I have such great pictures of Bella's little puppies in their new homes and I sure would like to use them. Thanks a million!!!

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Actually, a donating member can have a larger avatar, but anyone can have a moving avatar. The moving avatar is a series of pictures grouped together in one file, called an animated gif. You need a software program to do this, and Photoscape makes a free program. There are instruction on this thread on creating your own avatar, and a link to Photoscape. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ng-avatar.html. If your not the type that likes to do things themselves, one of our members, Peanut, has a thread, and will make an avatar for you. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/tes...vatars-51.html, just post the pictures you would like to use. Congratulations on becoming a donating member, and your new litter.

By the way Nancy, since halloween is over, can't you get rid of the spider in your avatar. I have a phobia.

ladylawinkc here's an example of what you can do with the photoscape program. Click on it to see it move, I made this real fast out of some pictures from your album, but you can add a "title page" or lettering and different frames and borders, to made your unique. It's fun to make your own especially if you like to change them often, or to insert a holiday picture.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | How sweet of you, but I'm trying to "tempt" her to try the program, not to make her an avatar. You know the Chinese proverb, " Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Some of my previous "students" have become so good, and enjoy it so much.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | This thread will help you, http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ng-avatar.html. Photoscape is a computer program, that allows you to open your pictures, resize them, add frames to them, and other special effects such as lettering. It also allows you to group a series of photos together to create the file that looks like a slide show.

| What a student I am. . . :( Quote:
On that note, perhaps I'll go out and clean out the stalls - - you'd really be impressed if you could see how well I can do that. . .I promise, though, I'll give it a shot - - of course, right about now, swinging from the rafters in my barn sounds more inviting!!!! You're the best! P.S. (I'll bet you're impressed that I do know how to use the emoticons and change my font )

People seem to think I have all this computer knowledge, but everything I know I learned here at Yorkietalk. I just learned the word "emoticons" a few weeks ago. And yes, I am impressed that you can change the font!
