How can I get one of those cartoon logos next to my name (left) to replace the grey smiley?

Question

I'm new to this site and not very good with computers.

Answer 1

Of course you /could/ use Yahoo!(c) avatar, but they all begin to look alike after a while. If you get a Yahoo 360 page, you can upload an image file, and use that as your answers avatar.

Answer 2

Click on your own nickname. This opens a box where you can fill in 'personal' details. Your nickname appears as the top line The fifth line down is "about" and "add details" is beside it (in blue). Click on this. All will then become clear. People who have a personal picture demonstrate that they can use their computer. So go for it. Join the elite and leave the grey people behind.

BTW, the other answers so far are all fair comment but some of them start too deep. they don't give a novice a fair start do they?
