To create my avatar, I used the website http://www.buildyourwildself.com/. In the image, my avatar has dark brown wavy hair, dark shapely eyebrows, and a big smile that is missing some teeth! All of these features could be used to describe my appearance. In addition, my shirt has a smiley face to represent how much I smile. My avatar generally demonstrates what I look like.
Hi Caroline,
Thanks for visiting our class blog. Here’s a blogging hint for you to make your avatar appear on your blog: In your Dashboard, go to Appearance >Widgets and drag the Blog Avatar brick into the right hand list of widgets. Then go to Settings > Blog Avatar and upload the avatar you created and saved. It should then appear in your sidebar for everyone to see. 🙂 Hope this works–and if it does, teach your classmates!
Best wishes blogging,
Ms. Jan Smith

Please follow the steps outlined in Ms. Jan Smith’s helpful comment. Your avatar’s purpose is to be seen on your blog! Looking forward to the results,
Ms. McD.
