I finally figured out how to make a half-way decent avatar. I didn't even know they were called avatars until I got this page. There are so many things I don't know. The avatar was the first thing I tackled-I figured if I can do that, I can do anything else. I kept fumbling and fumbling until it was accepted-a relief! I clicked things on the computer I had never clicked before-that has been happening a lot lately. Only 100x100 pixels? Yikes! But I felt a sense of accomplishment.
My avatar was a hopelessly amateur feat compared to all those pretty, flashy avatars out there. Slick creations-colorful, animated swaying ones, I-pod head-banging ones,( I liked Maneaters)-some people changed them every month like a revolving door and it seemed so easy for them! Apparently many of them are commissioned- I won't be doing that any time soon. So much to learn. But now I have better avatars even though they are not as pretty as yours are. However, I am not as embarrassed to post a comment anymore.
Much to learn-it is one thing to silently observe the goings on with the furry world for years-another thing to make yourself known. If I want someone to comment on my page, I must comment on their page and maybe, just maybe they will leave a comment on mine. How else will people know I am here? Do I want people knowing I am here? Not sure. Maybe it is better if they don't know. The page isn't for them, it's for me... or is it? Not really ready to be noticed yet- and that's alright. But some of you did notice, and thank you-and I noticed you as well.
