How My Friend Learned to Create His Own Avatar
A friend who is new to the online world asked me if I would create a social media and blog icon for him. But I said “You should create your own avatar, so you can have the experience of using one of the many free online graphics programs to do it.” I pointed him in the direction of my site, which lists a lot of free avatar resources. He was surprised once he looked at some of them how easy it would be to create his own avatar. In fact, he not only created one, he created more than a dozen. Now he changes his avatar once a week. It’s a good thing his user name stays the same; otherwise no one online would recognize him.
