WHY....

Are we all not in the Christmas Spirit? - (NO WS not the kind in a bottle lol)

SM

Thanks SM! I've just updated mine

Okay SM I can take a hint, just haven't worked out how to do it

Tomorrow I will get onto it.

All Done MUM

Lai Pai, it's easy, just click on your profile on the top of the home page, then click on Avatar, then click the box to delete your current Avatar then click the browse button to up load a new picture from your pics then hit the reset button at the bottom of the page and hey presto, all done.

Thanks Littlewid, I can replace my avatar but can't make a sparkly one with an existing photo - i'm not sure how to edge/border a photo

I'll mess around tomorrow .........

Lai Pai

I did mine on publisher LP. Draw a box, double click on the edge and choose border art. Insert your piccie into the middle hold shift and click on each item and then click on the little square box, right click, save as picture! Voilà! I'm sure there is a much simpler way though!

Brilliant loving the avatars. Very inventive AM!!!

WAA is definitely feeling more Christmasy.

SM

Thanks Anne-Marie - i'll read that a couple of times tomorrow morning and have a go .... I may be sometime

Lai Pai

Hmmmm of something good. Great Avatars Guys
WS

Yeah, it works Thanks for the BIG nudge SM

WS, some good avatars - looking forward to yours and Lai Pai's

In fear of being called a bit of a Bah Humbug, I love christmas but my christmas decorations don't go up until a week before christmas.

Thats because its the time I start feeling christmassy and it makes it all the more special that I have the excitement of waiting to put the decorations up

So my avatar will change on the 17th December but here is a virtual decoration to keep everyone happy

Nice one Doogs - looking forward to yours on the 17th PPH.

Mine to follow today ................

Lai Pai

Well I tried and tried Anne-Marie but for some reason I couldnt get the border I wanted to wrap around my lion cub photo so I've opted for a ready made one!

Thanks for the help though - I will try again later.
Lai

Loving Lai Pai and sorry didn't realise you were asking about a border for a pic

Putting up deccies nearer the time is great fun PPH, loads of people wait and waiting for your avatar on the 17th will give us all something to look forward too

I didnt explain what I mean't Littlewid - I am still hoping to achieve a Christmassy border round one of my photos - but despite reading Anne-Marie's tutorial all I made was two separate piccies which wouldn't come together

Lai Pai

Sorry Lai, I wasn't in the office yesterday, you could right click on the border and select send to the back, that should then go around your picture, or if you wanted me to do it for you, just email me the bits you want.

Thanks Anne-Marie, you've realised by now I am with my PC/laptop. I will try again today .......

Lai Pai

Lai
