Yes you learn a little at a time with those crazy computers. But what a wonder they are. You and my friend, Jillian, are in Australia and I am here in Wisconsin USA and we can talk. They are pretty good about the instructions on this site. Just do as they say and your avatar will pop up. It is when they say browse that you click on it and then find the place on your own computer where you have the photos in a file. I see many fancy signitures and I haven't figured that out yet.
It did take me a couple of days before I got the courage to do my avatar. It took awhile before I went into the chat room but oh are those people kind. They are so knowledgeable too.
Welcome and enjoy
