How to Make MSN Icons

MSN Instant Messenger is one of the most used Internet instant messenger programs available on the web. One of the great features you can do as a user is create an icon for yourself. This is a picture which represents your screen name, so whenever you are signed in, all of your contacts will be able to see this image, no matter what it is. Of course you will not be stuck with the MSN icon and you can change it whenever you see fit.
