How to: put up my avatar??

Uh,hey guys ive been trying to figure out how to get an avatar up.
None of the past posts info. really have helped.Im a bit dingy,bout some of this stuff.
So, to get an image from offsite,i have to be a member of that site,like say google or photobucket.
Ive seen images that i want on google and have dwnld to my pc;but,i cant get the avatar page on here to link to google.
Help!help!--thank ya kindly!

You have to link to an off-site pictures URL to use it as an avatar.

Mine, for example, is from my DeviantART gallery.
Find an image you want to use and right click it, then select properties.
In the list it should have 'Address (URL)' highlight the h.t.t.p://(blahblahblah).jpeg bit and copy it then paste it into your 'Avatar URL' box in your profile/account settings.

Hope this helps. ^^;

(ignore the dots between the HTTP letters they're just to stop that bit of text from turning into a link to nowhere)
