I am a novice at the computer. I want to find a site where I can copy or upload from a selection of offbeat avatars that I can use on several sites that allow you to use avatars outside of the avatars on their sites. All the photos I have on my computer seem to be too big to upload onto any site I am using. The three above are not what I am looking for. One is animated which I don't need, the other allows you to create an avatar but you only seem to be able to use it on their site. The other is more like an animated game that you play on their site. I don't know where to go to get avatars that I can use. Please help. -
