Welcome to the wonderful world of avatars!
An avatar is basically a little picture of something you like. I used to have a little picture of my big fat black cat.
Go to your Profile, Edit Options. Go to the bottom of the page where it says "Avatars". You can click on the "More info" link to get a detailed description. Then on the right side it should say something like "Change Avatar" (dont' remember what it says if you are starting w/ no avatar). Click that button. It brings up another form where, at the bottom, there is a space where it says you can upload an image from your harddrive. Here, once you have found your fav picture (and it needs to be no bigger than a certain size, which it should say on that page) , save it to your harddrive. And then use the browse button on the screen to locate that image and upload it. Or else you can just type in the path on your harddrive to where your image is located. Upload it and you should be good to go.!

Put a search in Google for "avatar".
You can take any imae off the internet or your hard drive, resize it to 100x100 in a program like Photoshop or Photo Editor, then upload it from your hard drive.
Rather than doing a Google search for "avatar," just go to Google and do an Image search and then in the blank type in what you're looking for. Let's say I want a picture of an VanGogh in my avatar. I can go to Google, switch the tab from WEB search to IMAGE search, then in the search blank type "VanGogh." When I find a pic I like, I right click on the pick and do a "save picture as." Then I open that picture (which I probably saved to my desktop) in Adobe. Once in adobe, I go to image, resize, and change it to 100 x 100 pixels. Then I resave it. The go back to Profile-->options-->change avatar. Then upload that picture from your computer. Voila...

A decent freeware image software package is Paint Studio Lite. At the very least, it lets you easily resize images.
