    I notice so many of you have pictures by your posts - how do you do that? I really like them and it's interesting to see how the name fits or doesn't fit the picture. If I knew how to do it, I'd put up a picture for me, too.

    I wonder if any of you have favorite websites you would share? not Jw sites, just anything fun and interesting that you like. For instance I really like http://news.bbc.co.uk/ and look at it just about every day for news. I'm in the US but the BBC news really does a good job of covering all sorts of news, including the US.

    Also I really like www.mycathatesyou.com mostly for the photos - some of the captions are too hostile for me but I love the photos. And I like Ebay, do some selling and shopping there and enjoy the whole thing. In fact I sell consistently enough to fund my knitting habit - yarn isn't cheap nowadays.

    and I love http://www.earthsky.org/ and like to see what the night sky holds and then go out and see if I can find whatever star or constellation they are describing. Wonderful illustrations and photos.

    Is there anything else you can suggest? I think the internet is wonderful and I use it all the time for research and for my work and just for fun.

    Hi, Hortensia!

    To put a picture (avatar) by your poster name, first look at the upper lefthand corner of this screen. Under your poster name, there's a hyperlink to your "Profile." Click on it. The window that will open allows you to edit your JWD forum profile. After the gender designation, there's a place to add a picture. If you already have an avatar (or picture) picked out, just click on the "Browse" button next to the "Upload a picture from my computer" toolbar. If not, you can troll Google images with the term "avatar" or if you think you might like a certain type of avatar like perhaps "super hero avatar" or "bunny avatar" (just examples) put those words in the Google images tool bar and surf 'em till you find what you want. Then save it to your windows "My pictures." Then when you click on the "Browse" button on your profile, you can go directly to your "My Pictures and upload the picture to your JWD files and use it for your avatar here.

    If this is unclear in any way, please let us know.
