Why is your avatar not of a dragon? It's some werid lizard's head.
You could have such a badass avatar. This is something that has been troubeling me for some time.
Do you have some type of emotional attachment?

He had a pet lizard as a kid he named Archie, that is where he took his screen name from. It only died a couple of years ago I think.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

mmhmm beat me to it. It is a bearded dragon and they are the coolest lizards EVER. I never thought I could love a lizard, but our classroom bearded dragon stole my heart! What is really funny...is one of the posters has the same name as our bearded and every time I read the posters name, I read his/her post in the voice we would use to pretend the bearded was talking! Ha..yeah, I am weird.

Yes. I have wondered the same thing. I actually thought it was a snake. However, i do think this indicates his deep psychological pathology. |

Well, go online and find an image you like. Right click "Copy image location". Then go to your Profile and where you see avatar url, you click and paste the link into that and hit save. SOmetimes the image doesn't come up because your password was up and you didn't fill it in twice or the link has https instead of http at the beginning. Sometimes you have to take the s out. Also there are some standard ones here you can use.

Also, you have to tell it the size below where you paste it for height and width. The max is 100 . So type 100 in each of those. If the pic looks distorted then you can shorten either the height or width by making it less like 90 on one side and so forth till it appears as you like. I think there is more info on the Help section as well.

Yeah, the picture is of a bearded dragon, not my bearded dragon, Archie, though.
I didn't have him as a kid. I bought him after I moved back to my parents house after college. H lived for 9 or 10 years or so.
As far as orange and green, I beleive the more colors clash the better they look. You can pull it off.

That's right! Many, many moons ago Dr. Pig considered Arch and I the coolest people he knew. (but then again, we should consider the source  ) |

LOL..... I am already married. Not trying to be cool anymore. It was a losing battle anyway. ; ) You come off as pretty cool. Aren't you a middle aged accountant? For that you come off as way way cool. If you saw how gorgeous Archie is - you would lose your sleep! So pray you'll never know  |
