How do you make your own Avatar? Do you have to download something?

Yea, but I already did that and I wanna make another :D But I'd rather do it on my own and not have to ask next time :D

Can I do it with photobucket?

You just make it in any image program... you can use Paint, Photoshop, Paintshop, GIMP, anything.

How do I do it in Paint? I'm looking how, do I just get my images and put them together or something?

You don't seem to understand, an avatar is just a plain old 100x100 (or x80, don't remember) image file. You can make the image file any type you want; .bmp, .jpg, .png, .gif, etc...

Motherland is only talking about a non-animated still image avatar.  Use Adobe Photoshop CS3 to make an animated GIF file.  It allows you to modify each frame bellybutton well as modify the transistions and timings.

I'm sure there are many freeware programs that can do the same as the above recommendation.

Ah, okay. I see what he wants now.
You can make animated .gifs in GIMP, but every layer is a frame and it doesn't seem to have any advanced tools (you have to do it frame by frame). Bit tedious.

No problem for me, I just wanna add some stuff to my current avatar... etc.
