What is an Avatar?
An **avatar** is a computer user's representation of himself/herself or alter ego, whether in the form of a three-dimensional model used in computer games, a two-dimensional icon (picture) or a one-dimensional username (@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_%28computing%29).

How do I change my profile image?

 * 1) Log in and go to "My Account."
 * 2) Click on "Change Picture."
 * 3) Images can be no larger than 1 MB in size. This image will appear on your user profile page as well as anywhere your username appears on Wikispaces, such as in the history of a page you have edited.
