Avatar

I posted my avatar today. Here are the things I ran into along the way.

I had created an avatar months ago. Then I couldn't find it when I wanted to add it to this blog.

I tried to recreate it on Yahoo, but couldn't. Turned out I didn't have Macromedia Flash installed on the computer I was using. (Still not sure why!) Fixed that.

Gave up for awhile.

Went to Dunn Brothers today. Couldn't get into the Yahoo beta version of email, so selected "Classic" Yahoo email. There was my avatar! Turns out you can only add avatars to Classic email. There's some bug that prevents you from adding your Yahoo avatar to their beta email. (Yahoo is working on it.)

So I eventually went back to a computer with flash and exported my avatar to my blog. Who knew it would be a saga! But, done!
