You may have noticed that many social networking sites offer you a place to upload some sort of profile picture. Many people will post actual digital photos of themselves, but what may be even more fun is creating your own avatar on one of the many sites available online.
Some examples:
- Yahoo! Avatars. These avatars are actually little flash videos. You can make them act out your mood on the yahoo site, but non-moving versions are available to put on your blog. Just click "export" on the right. If you have a Yahoo ID (or don't mind signing up for one) this is a fun site to check out.
- Meez. This site allows you to export their avatars if you create an account.
- Stortroopers. This Javascript avatar maker has three different wardrobes to chose from. Plainclothes, goth, or fashionista. After you are finished, you can email you avatar to yourself, save the file, and upload it wherever you want.
- WeeWorld. Home of the WeeMee, this site allows you to make a very cute avatar. In order to dress your WeeMee, you must sign up for an account. These can be exported into your blog.
- The Simpomaker. Ever wanted to be a character from the Simpsons? Now you can. You have to know how to make a screen capture to add this to your blog, but it's still fun to play with.
So your assignment for this challenge: Make yourself an avatar! How you look, how you would like to look, it doesn't matter. It's your choice! After you've made one, share it with everyone by posting it in your blog.
That's it for today. Have a great weekend!
