The animated type of avatar, would be a type of file that is saved as an animated .gif.

They can be produced in various photo editing programs such as Serif's PhotoPlus, Adobe's PhotoShop, or others.

I found mine by googling "Motion avatar".

If you google "animated avatars" you get quite a few hits too. It helps limit the search if you put the search phrase in quotation marks.

Oh really? So simple, yet I would never thought of that. What a doofus I am- after all when I look for animated emoticons I do exactly that :/

Thank you for the information. I will see what I can come up with in the next few weeks. I need to have my daughter with me and I need to find a good picture for me.

May I point out that whatever picture you have, your image hostage can make it into thumbnails. Although I forgot whether or not our Avatar option does that automatically.
